  • Annual Clay Pigeon Shoot

    Our Annual Clay Shoot is held at Doveridge Shooting Ground on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border each September. This is an informal occasion for both experts and complete beginners and guns are provided for those who do not have one of their own. Teams of four compete for a range of prizes including the Clarke Family Perpetual Cup. This event attracts some of the best shots from the British Army and the Army Cadet Force.

  • Annual Regimental Dinner Event

    Every year we host a special event, our Annual Regimental Dinner Night – a special occasion that takes the form of a Regimental Dinner, complete with long tables, Mess Dress with medals or black tie/posh frock, Regimental Silverware, PMC and other regimental traditions. Not just a very lovely, chef-prepared dinner but the evening also includes a performance by the Corps of Drums; presentations by Cadets who talk about their experiences in our cadet force and the impact it has had on their lives, and a Guest Speaker of note. We also have a silent auction and raffle for quality prizes.

    Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. All details are released and can be found in the ‘News’ tab on this website.
