Last year the Mathoura Gun Club conducted a very successful ‘Pink Shoot’ with proceeds from the sale of pink shoot shirts going to Mathoura’s Bra Fence - the local charity fundraising entity which supports those suffering from cancer.
Well, while this year’s event will not be held until October, orders for the 2024 shirts (sizes children’s to 7XL) are now being accepted.
If you would like to purchase one, contact Chloe Butler or any of the gun club members.
