December Shoot Report – Peter Saich

We had our usual good turnout for the Christmas Handicap shoot and it was great to see some members returning after an absence including Andy and Jan Wallace, and Alex Spooner all attending for the first time this year. Thanks to Andy Willett, there was another great layout over 7 stands – Did you spot the named stands theme – Congratulations to Alex Blackwell who was the first to notice that they were all named after tracks off the Dark Side of the Moon album by Pink Floyd. There were stands including Breathe, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Us and Them and Any Colour you like. Alex was disappointed that Money had been missed out so I have taken the liberty of adopting that for the raffle which raised £125 profit. Thank you all for your generosity in donating prizes and purchasing tickets.
Could we incorporate a ‘Name the Album’ competition into future layouts?

The final class winners of the season were:
AA Jason Stredwick 52, just ahead of Andy Willett and Glen Boxall with 51.
A Class Alex Blackwell with an excellent 49 – Obviously inspired by the music.
B Class Ian Parish on 48 – another great class score and C Class Albie Collister with 36.

In the Handicap competition, Alex Blackwell triumphed again and won the Warsop Memorial Trophy with 69.55.
Runner-up with 68.75 was Ian Parish and third was Graham Winter on 68.38. Well done to anyone who scored 60 plus, signifying that you shot over your average.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today a success, including the Committee who organised the Handicaps, Raffle prizes, ordered Pizzas, made trips to dispose of cartridges etc. and thank you to everybody who helped set up, put away, collected Pizzas, folded raffle tickets etc.

Thank you again to everyone involved with helping this year and we look forward to seeing you all next season.
