First of the
2010 Foymore Lodge Club
Shoots
Saturday 4 September proved to be a very competitive day for
shooters from the Foymore Lodge membership scheme. After a
coffee to kick start the adrenaline, the members shot their way
through the 50 bird sporting shoot. Newcomer to the club, Nigel
Eakin, pipped Paddy McConville to the post with a score of 39/50.
There was plenty of humour and a few **** words along the way and
following the analysis all enjoyed a bbq at the clubhouse.
Congratulations to Nigel! No pressure for shoot number 2
Nigel!

Extreme Mud Madness
Sunday 28th March 2010 saw
the return of the Mud Madness run. Over 600 runners took part
in the race
and
the weather could not have been better. A glorious spring day
set the scene for enthusiasts and fun-runners alike and with
competitors from as far afield as Germany, America and France, there
truly was an international flavour to this event. The
challenging course did not disappoint and all competitors were well
muddied up by the end of the first lap. By the second lap the
obstacles were proving tougher with a little more mud to negotiate
but all participants crossed the finishing line in respectable
style. For more details and pictures about the event, visit
the website at

Extra Muddy, Extra Mad - Mud
Madness November 2008
Sunday 16
November 2008 saw the return
of Mud Madness to Foymore
Lodge, and what an event!
Who could think of a better
way to spend a beautiful,
sunny November afternoon,
than to get wet and muddy
from top to toe whilst
running a 4km dash through
ponds, bog land, drains and
ditches. Some 300
entrants took up the
challenge risking life, limb
and beauty for this
adventurous day out in the
countryside -
congratulations to them all!
The official charity for the
day was Marie Curie who were
on hand offering much
welcomed refreshments
following the event. For

The Long Awaited
Straightening of the 'Rabbit
Run'
This month, history was made
at Foymore Lodge Country
Pursuits, with the long
awaited straightening of the
'Rabbit Run,' otherwise
known as the 'Mini Sporting'
layout. This fast and
furious layout, consisting
of 24 targets, shot over 4
stands proved elusive for
many but not so for local
clay pigeon shooter Richard
Knipe. In an outstanding
display of shooting
excellence he determinedly
straightened all 24
targets. The team at
Foymore Lodge congratulate
Richard in this fantastic
achievement!
