Before the third round of Isle of Man Clay Pigeon Shooting Club’s Cu-Plas Callow Winter series DTL league last Sunday, a shotgun salute was held for Davey Clague a long-time member of the club who passed away the previous Monday with his family by his side.

Chairman Peter Kelly said a few words in the clubhouse before members, friends and relatives braved the weather to give him a shot gun salute as a tribute and send off to him from the club he helped build.
