29 members and 10 guests returned cards this month.
Andy Wallace followed his 25 at Skeet on Wednesday evening with an exceptional 58 today to win A Class. In comparison the nearest to that was Kevin Scarlett (AA) with 52 and Peter Saich (A) with 51. Jim Hackett shooting as a guest also hit 52.
B Class was won by Alan Davis with 48, ahead of Alex Blackwell on 46. Chris Flanders scored a good 49 in C Class, with Stuart Hulme and Ian Young joint second on 41.

April 2023

37 members and 10 guests returned scorecards for the April shoot and we welcomed our newest member John Martin to the club.
The weather on the day was kind but conditions under foot were still not so good in places.
Thanks to everyone involved in setting up, running the shoot and packing away afterwards.
Some outstanding scores were achieved, notably for trophy class winners Jerry Sollick (C, 48), Aaron Wiggins (B, 50) and Mike Collins (A, 49). Glen Boxall (AA) was overall high gun with 57. Well done everyone!

March 2023

33 members and 12 guests recorded scores this month on what proved to be a tricky layout for some. The ground conditions after recent wet weather made the setting up and packing away more challenging than usual and an even bigger thanks goes to everyone who was involved.

Class winners this month were Kevin Scarlett (A), Rick Warrington (B) and Ian Parish (C), each being promoted to the next class. Well done all!

Finally, the club offers a warm welcome to our newest member this month: Jason Stredwick.

Thanks to everyone who help set up, run and pack away the shoot this month.

The weather was fine, the ground harder and the layout softer; scores are below.

January 2023

Just 27 members and 6 guests took part this month. The ground conditions were very wet which made setting up and packing away more challenging than usual – so a massive thanks to all who helped – and resulted in the course being reduced to 6 stands.

Firstly, welcome to our 2 newest members: Richard Hill and Doug Hodgkiss. Thank you for joining and supporting the Club.

This month was the annual Pairs Handicap competition, where a random draw takes place to see who’s paired with who, and also the 3rd round of the 2022-2023 Winter Series.

The highest score in A Class was achieved by Chris Clark with a quite superb 53, B Class was won by Chris Samuel on 46 and John Hughes topped C Class with 43.
Well done to everyone, this month the scores were less spread out than usual.

The competition was very tight in the Handicap Pairs, with just 4 clays separating the top 5 pairs. In first place and winners of the John Tarryer Cups this year were Ian Young & Matt Oldland with 136.4, just beating the next highest total of 136.0 by Steve Keane & James Faulkner. The full results can be viewed here .

December 2022

Numbers turning up for the Xmas shoot this year were low at just 35 members and 8 guests, no doubt due to the wet and windy weather forecast and our caterer pulling out at the last minute due to local icy conditions first thing.
A deceptively tricky layout over 7 stands caught a fair few of us out this month and it favoured the higher classified club shooters in the handicap competition, more of which later.
In the regular trophy shoot, the trio of Tom Phillips trophies were won in A class by Mike Collins with a very good 43 (on countback, 1 straight to nil over Alex Wells), B class by Steven Keane with an excellent 39 and C class by Chris Grist on 24. Meanwhile in non-trophy AA class our club president Peter Saich was high gun amongst members with 49. Full class results are below.
The outcome of the handicap shoot, with prizes for all shooters – the top 10 receiving a bottle of spirits and the remainder a bottle of wine – was that in first place was Steven Keane, second was Mike Collins and third was Alex Blackwell. Well done everybody!
The full results of the handicap competition can be found here.

A big thank you to everyone who came this month to take part and support the club. Special mentions go to Daren O’Toole who didn’t shoot but amongst other things calculated the results as scorecards were returned, to Peter Saich for organising the raffle and to those who helped set up on Saturday and Sunday and stayed behind to pack away after the shoot in unpleasant conditions.

November 2022

37 members and 12 guests attended the November shoot.
Conditions were wet and muddy, unsurprisingly after the recent weeks of heavy rain, which caused some problems accessing the site and moving trailers and traps around.
This month saw the first in the Winter Series competition both for the club and for Middlesex Woodpigeon guns in attendance.

Andy Willett top scored in AA today with 50, just ahead of James Horrod on 49 and Glen Boxall on 48.
Matt Oldland won A class, finally making it into AA, scoring 52 with a borrowed gun! Ian Hargreaves was second on 48 and newly promoted Rick Warrington was third with 47.
Jon Watson’s third 44 in a row was good enough to win B class, clear of Chris Flanders and Steven Keane in joint second on 40.
After several runner-up spots, John Hughes won C Class with 42 with Ron Turner in second on 40.

In the Middlesex Woodpigeon Winter Series, Steve Cole takes an early lead on 47, with son David second with 43.

Well done to all of our winners this month and thanks to everyone who helped set up, run and pack away the shoot in testing conditions.

October 2022

This month 42 members and 18 guests were in attendance for a 60 bird shoot over 7 stands. The weather was kind to us for October with sunshine and a gentle breeze.
Alongside the regular monthly trophy shoot was a side-by-side competition for the Surrey CPSA title and Webley & Scott trophy for non-Surrey-CPSA shooters. Surrey CPSA winner was Peter Saich scoring an excellent 53, with Danny Smith runner up on 43. The Webley & Scott trophy winner was John Morgan on 38 and John Hughes in second place with 29.
As for the regular competition, Steve Keane (38) triumphed in C class and Rick Warrington topped B class with a fine 47. Winner in A class was Nigel Foreman who returned after a lengthy absence and score a very good 54. Non-trophy AA class and high gun was tied by Glen Boxall and Andy Willett, who for the second time this year both scored 56.

Well done to all of our winners this month and thanks to everyone who helped set up, run and pack away the shoot.

August 2022

35 members and 7 guests took part in this month’s shoot.
The layout turned out to be quite a challenging one, with some difficult to read targets. The number of stoppages due to mainly battery problems also didn’t help with concentration.

High gun, again, was Glen Boxall in AA with 51.
Winner of A Class was our President, Peter Saich on 46.
Also with a great score of 46 in B Class was Aaron Wiggins and Paul Trusler topped C Class with 37.
Well done to all of our winners this month.

A big thank you to all who helped set up, run and pack away the shoot in the hot conditions.
