Hi everyone (again)
Well …. What a stunning and surprising day in the Hawks’ woods and field. Not many targets in the latter and with very little breeze anywhere; but surely enough to catch some out – yours truly included.
A good turnout – especially from the MAD crew from Essex (twice as many of them as from some of the Sussex clubs) – met with some of the most pleasant weather we’ve had all year.
And some very high scores to go with it, topped by our first CLEAR of the 2014 season. Congrats for this go to Chief Hobbit – the one and only SIMMMO. Before anyone asks ….. yes, we did check his card for any signs of unwitnessed/signed alterations
Here are the scores on the doors. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Prize drawer winners today were :
- Gary Morrison – the Ł35 cash prize, and
- Nigel Wheal – the Air Arms goody bag
Team scores today and cumulatively are :
Club Round 8 Total Oaks 286 2228 Buxted 271 2105 Horsham 272 2083 Swallows 258 2048 Ford 253 1976 Iden Fern 235 1734
Iden Fern were unable to field a full team today, so had 1 card drawn at random from the ‘hat’ to make up the shortfall.
Oaks take yet another leap in to the distance from any other team and are only likely to be caught if we can lock the gate on their shoot farm … when they’re all IN there practicing on the 20th September
And finally, today saw the award of two new PLATINUM badges – well deserved and won by :
Sam Robinson (not there to collect it!), and
Chris Tyhurst
Well done, guys.
Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of Round 9 at Swallows FTC. In the meantime, I expect a bunch of us will be present at Northall next weekend for the Air Arms ‘do’.
