Help for Heroes Celebrity Charity Shoot
Sponsored by Aigle International UK Ltd
There will be a Celebrity Charity Shoot held in the shooting arena with teams of 3 shooting with a celebrity to raise money for Help for Heroes.
Help for Heroes is extremely grateful for any support and is delighted to have been selected as the nominated charity at this year's CLA Game Fair. Former Royal Green Jacket turned countryside cartoonist Bryn Parry was so moved by a visit to Selly Oak hospital to visit wounded soldiers in 2007 that he and his wife Emma formed a charity, Help for Heroes. They were initially focused on raising funds for the Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court, a project that is now being built with the first £8m raised. Help for Heroes has raised over £1m a month since it was launched and it is spending the money nearly as fast as it comes in.
Shooting Arena
The Shooting Arena, in front of the grandstand on the clayline, will feature a daily packed programme that will appeal to all shots. For full details please see Shootin Arena page within this section.
