Children upset by duck shoot at popular lodge
By Daniel Black
A VILLAGE duck sh'oot has left parents and chil
dren upset. • The shooting took place
in fields next to Spring Lodge, Sabden, on Satur day, September 27th as part of the gaming season where a group of around 10 men took to-the grounds with shot guns. A Sabden resident who
witnessed the shooting said: “I heard banging early in themoming..
- ■ “I realised they were gun
shots and when I opened my window I saw birds fly ing In circles around the lodge.
- ' . “Next thing there was
another bang and one of the birds started falling out
of the sky. 'When I went to
. have a look I saw a group of men shooting ducks. “The lodge is very poiDU-
lar for families, there is a public footpath, the ducks are wild and children have always fed the ducks. Peo ple who were in the area seemed quite disturbed by what they saw. “I have never seen any
thing like this in the village and it is not really some thing I would like to see again. “I was quite concerned
with it being a weekend and the time it happened.” The lodge is owned by
local man Mr Andrew Duckworth who said the game ducks had been bred for shooting and had been, “laid down” there earlier this year. He said the police
had been informed and the shoot was one of many legitimate ones across the county. Coun. .Tony Haworth,
the chairman of Sabden Parish Council, said: “I heard the banging early Saturday 'rhbrning and thought it was fireworks. It really was that prolific. I
liad just been heading out of town though so was not really aware of what was happening.
: “Howeyeri if he is the landowner and has been shooting the ducks legally then there is nothing that can be done about it;- It was probably not the best time to have done it and it has ob-viously upset a few peo ple.” X ■ . Sabden PC Paul Sherratt said: “I have passed the
details of the incident onto our licensing registry at the police headquarters. One of their officers will be assigned to the case find speak to the person involved. The inquiries are ongoing.” BASC’s regional officer
for the North of England, Mr Steven Woodhall, said: “It is regrettable that these children were'upset by what
they saw. “Shooting sports provide
the opportunity for thou sands of young people to become actively involved in the countryside, to learn about its management and to help them.understand the relationship between: food that they eat and its
? natural environment., “Live quarry shooting is a legal, well regulated arid
safe activity, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of
. people in the UK and is an integral part of rural life and rural communities.
- ' . “'When game has been shot it is traditionally car ried in the hand to allow it
■ ^ to start cooling, this helps to maintain the quality of the meat.” -
Sarah’s triathlon tribute

one for their kind donations, in particu lar friends Russel and Fiona for their support during the day and much-wel-. corned meal, afterwards. ; The-quartet are pictured after com pleting their gruelling challenge(s)
