However this money cannot replace a regular salary (and it’s been hit hard by Covid restrictions) and in any case shoot earnings have to be declared and are taxed accordingly. Few complaints

Jeremy Bird is no ordinary coach. He has spent much of his life on the competitive international shooting circuit. A champion Olympic Skeet Shot, his career has resulted in many notable successes and records; representing England and Great Britain, he was the first British shooter ever to shoot 125/125 in competition, twice winner of the Home International and multiple international medal winner. Perhaps what makes him yet more amazing, in my eyes, is that he does this on top of his ‘day job’, farming cattle on his family’s Northumbrian hill farm.Some beaters seem to find walking in a straight line difficult. It isn’t. Just keeping looking to left and then right and you’ll be there… Before all the meticulous work leads to the final product, however, an idea must first be born – from words, phrases, a rough sketch or even the vaguest of concepts.

Follow the directions you are given and don’t decide that you know better than the gamekeeper or shoot captain. If they ask you to do something new on a shoot you should never reply: “The last keeper here never did it like this” or “we don’t normally do it that way.” The gamekeeper is the captain and beaters need to follow directions if they are to play a useful role. Otherwise you may as well go home. His love of the moor, of the grouse that live there and the shooting that preserves it all is deeply embedded. I also like his shooting philosophy; you do not improve your shooting to kill more grouse, you improve your shooting to kill grouse cleanly: a good shot is a humane shot. People have suggested various shortcuts I could take – using a projector or using a laser cutter – but I am a bit old school about things like this. I do use a computer to draft my designs, but I am no whizz kid with graphics software – I just use Publisher. It makes me think of another famous lyric, from Ferry ‘Cross The Mersey – ‘We don’t care what your name is, boy, We’ll never turn you away’. It’s what our club and our city are all about -its what sets us apart – and it is more relevant today than ever, with racial intolerance on the rise nationally. If you’re wondering about the tax implications of getting money for beating read this useful article.)And from the small level of detail to his process he offered us, it is clear to see how near and dear the art form is to him.

I can work with as little or as much information as the customer wants to give. Some people just have some wording or a design in mind, while others just have a vague idea. The role of beating on a shoot day can vary greatly depending on the shoot you join. Beating on a grouse moor, small local shoot or large commercial shoot will have different expectations of their beaters. Working as part of the beating line is a great experience and a lovely day out.Depending on your product's country of origin, you may also be liable for local duties which are charged by the EU and are normally between 10% & 16% of the products value. Altogether, it typically takes about ten hours work to produce an average design, which, as I have a full-time job, I typically spread out over a week or so. I then pass the banners on to my trusted seamstress Debbie who applies the finishing stitches and seams.” Make sure you arrive promptly and don’t be offended if the keeper, who sounded pleasant on the phone, appears a bit gruff. Keepers have a lot on their mind on a shoot day and exchanging pleasantries when they have 100 things to think about is the last thing they need. We use DHL for our international deliveries and a phone number is required for all overseas deliveries The process of making a banner is quite a painstaking one, which I enjoy as it gives me a focus,” Mark explained.

Then there is the ‘World Beaters’ flag, which pays tribute to Liverpool’s two greatest exports – LFC and The Beatles. But undoubtedly the flag of which I am most proud is the one with the City’s coat of arms and its motto – Deus Nobis Haec Otia Fecit. If the item is rejected your item(s) will be returned to you along with a letter outlining the reason(s).

During the day we practised them all. Make the connection Make sure you turn up on time, so you can have a coffee and a chat beforehand. You will be expected to beat through cover throughout the day, so dress appropriately. If you know that you will be beating through cover crops, waterproof leggings as well as a waterproof coat will be necessary. If you are offered game then take it and cook it.
