33 members and 9 guests attended this month.
The weather turned out fine in the end after some gloomier forecasts from earlier in the week.
The varied layout of 7 stands was set up to include previously unused and hopefully interesting terrain.
As to the scores, first mention must go to James Faulkner who triumphed in C class with a stellar 51 and earned deserved promotion to B. Well done James!
B class, very keenly contested this month, was won by Peter Dove with an excellent 46 who now moves up into A.
In A class 3 shooters scored 51 – Matt Oldland, Gary Evans and Andy Willett. The winner was decided on countback of number of straights with 1, 2 and 3 respectively, resulting in Andy Willett taking the honours and moving to AA.
Nigel Foreman (54 and high gun) pipped Bill Woods (53) in AA. Excellent shooting by both.

Finally and as always, many thanks to everyone who helped set up this particularly ambitious layout on both Saturday and Sunday and pack away after the shoot.

35 members and 5 guests attended this month.

Well done to our class winners who were:
Bill Woods (53) in A class, promoted to AA
Will Hoad (48) in B class, promoted to A
Andy Smith (42) in C class, promoted to B

Thanks to all who turned up on a thoroughly wet and miserable day, with special thanks to everyone involved with the setting up and clearing away.

38 members and 5 guests attended our first shoot this year in perfect weather conditions, set over 8 stands with the usual mix of targets. After a 6 month layoff some of the traps and the layout designer’s lack of thinking caused some issues but hopefully these didn’t spoil the day and everyone was just happy to get out shooting again. There were a wide range of scores across all classes with B class being particularly keenly contested.
Winner of A class and promotion to AA was Nigel Foreman with 55, B class was won by Chris Wells with a fantastic 52 and Phil Saich secured a C class victory with a very fine 46. Well done to all and a massive thanks to everyone involved with the setting up and clearing away.

37 members and 8 guests attended the shoot this month in dry and still conditions over 8 stands with the usual mixture of targets. It’s a pity that the generator powering the intended Rat, which was running fine yesterday and this morning, gave up and refused to restart just as we began.
Running alongside the usual club competition there were two annual side-by-side trophies being contested:
The Surrey CPSA Trophy was retained by Peter Saich with a very good score of 50 and the Webley & Scott Trophy was won this year by Tim King from Sussex with 45.
In the club shoot Glen Boxall was the sole AA gun this month and scored 50, while Andy Willett secured an A class win with 52. Chris Flanders returned for the first time since January and shot an impressive 50 in B to gain promotion to A class and Richard Collins won C class with a fine 42.
Thanks as always go to all involved in setting up, taking down and running the shoot.
Further lockdowns or ‘circuit breakers’ allowing we’ll be back at the same part of the estate next month.

35 members and 7 guests, including 1 junior, attended this month’s shoot.
Conditions were dry and bright but with a variable wind. The layout was over 8 stands and presented a wide variety of targets and scores were once again very slightly down overall compared to earlier in the year.
After an 8 month absence from shooting Daren O’Toole returned to take high gun, an A class win and promotion to AA class with an excellent 52. Already in AA, Nigel Foreman posted 46. James Horrod took the B class trophy and promotion to A with a very good 44 whilst Kevin Addison won C class with 41. Well done all.
Thanks again to everyone who helped set up and take down.

Unless we are forced into lockdown again and are unable to shoot , we’ll be back at the same part of the estate on October 18th.
