Learn to Clay Pigeon Shoot

Clay Pigeon Shooting for Beginners Short Break with Warner Leisure Hotels.

Here is a superb opportunity to acquire the basics of clay pigeon shooting, a sport that will test and improve your hand-eye co-ordination, and perhaps launch you on the way to a new pursuit.

You will be part of a small group under the expert tuition of a highly experienced tutor on a days course which embraces safety aspects, gun handling stance and eye dominance and how to bag a brace or two of birds - albeit of the artificial kind! You'll learn about shotguns and cartridges and how to shoot a moving target.

The price of the lessons includes the use of all safety equipment, shotguns and cartridges, but make sure to bring suitable outside clothing.

If your taster of clay pigeon shooting whets your appetite for clay pigeon shooting (which, of course, are disc rather than bird shaped!) you'll find plenty of opportunities to do so. It's a strongly supported sport: the UK's Clay Pigeon Shooting Association has an active membership of approximately 25,000 participating at all shooting levels at 450 affiliated and registered grounds around the country. from farm and syndicate shoots through to national, registered and International competitions.

It's also an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels.

Clay Pigeon Shooting is available at Thoresby Hall

Wine Appreciation Short Break

Wine Appreciation Short Breaks with Warner Leisure Hotels. Around the world of wine in three days

There are now so many wonderful wines available from all around the world, that selecting the best for quality and value - as well as the perfect wine for each occasion - seems harder each year. No longer! This wine appreciation experience will improve and develop your knowledge of grape varieties as well as regional (and even vineyard) variations from country to country.

Over three four-hour sessions, you'll start at the beginning - the history of wine - and go through to how modern wines are created. Along the way, of course, there will be ample opportunities to sample a wide variety of wines under the expert guidance of a sommelier.

The first day concludes with tasting New World wines. Opening with some examples of light, crisp white wines, we'll take you on a vinery tour through smooth, velvety Chilean varieties to powerful, vibrant Australian reds. The journey will encompass Argentina, America, Chile, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

Day Two starts with a history of French wines, covering the 'Granddaddies' of grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay) before launching into a tasting of Old World wines including mellow, buttery and silky Sauvignon Blancs and the intense yet subtle St. Emillion Merlot grape. This day's journey includes Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

No appreciation course would be complete without a close examination of champagnes, which we cover on day three, as well as some sumptuous dessert wines, intriguing wine varieties (e.g. white Chateauneuf-Du-Pape and Rioja) and wines from lesser-known regions.It's the wine journey of a lifetime!

Wine appreciation short Breaks are available at Thoresby Hall.

Learn to Photograph Wildlife Short Break

Learn to Photograph Wildlife on a Short Break with Warner Leisure Hotels.

If you have bought yourself a digital camera that you wish you could operate to its full potential and really make the most of its technical ability, then this break is for you. Not only will you learn the basics of using a digital camera; you will then have the opportunity to apply your new-found expertise by capturing some wonderful wildlife scenes with the help of our expert.

During 3 sessions, an experienced local photographer will take you through the basics of using a digital camera and then take you out around the hotel's magnificent grounds where you can practise what you have learnt.

If ever there was a place to inspire you to take wonderful images it's at Cricket St Thomas. First of all there's the opportunity to roam the vast gardens designed by Capability Brown. Did you know that the second Lord Bridgeport spent £250,000 laying out the grounds and gardens? Now 200 hundred years later, you can enjoy the results of his investment!

There are flowers, shrubs and vistas aplenty to photograph here. But then you can really push the boat out and get close to nature in the raw by visiting the Wildlife Park and taking images of the fabulous array of birds and animals there - many of which are rare and even endangered.

All you have to do is bring along your own cameras, batteries and chargers. You will go away with knowledge, confidence and tips to enable you to get the very best results - having had a brilliant break getting close up and personal with nature.

Wildlife Photography Course is available at Cricket St Thomas, Somerset on the 24th August.
