The Southern 2025
John Dickson & Son has just returned from another great week at Deep River Sporting Clays attending The Southern Classic Side by Side Championship and Exhibition. The attendance, weather and food were all fantastic and fun was had by all with friends old and new. Some beautiful and rare Dickson and MacNaughton guns appeared at the Owners Club Gathering, and the Dickson Round-Action Challenge was again well contested. The Grouse Trophy lifted by a Dickson Owners Club member who added a second trophy to his mantlepiece after winning the event in 2023. The only disappointment is that we all have to wait a whole year to do it again. You can find out more about this great event here
