Sussex Interclub HFT 2015 - Round 3

[biggles]

Morning All (I'm assuming most of you won't read this 'til tomorrow morning)

Just under a week to go before we reach Sunday 31st May and Round 3 of the 2015 Sussex Interclub HFT series.

This round is hosted by Swallows Field Target Club at our site just south of Lewes and close to Kingston Village.

Following the usual format for a SIHFT competition, Round 3 will commence with gates opening at 08:00. Please AVOID arriving before this time as we're really not ready to cope with the hoards ahead of this. Booking in is unlikely to start before 09:00 and we will be aiming to deliver the pre-shoot safety briefing just before kick-off at 10:00. You MUST be present at the safety briefing in order to be in the comp!!

Parking will be in the usual field; not in either of the fishing lakes car parks. To give drivers something Ford-esque to aim for, parking South East by East makes sense and do, please, park sensibly close to your neighbour. Only exception to this will be if we have a serious deluge of the wet stuff before Sunday, in which case please follow directions from our parking marshals.

Food and drinks will be available.

Comp. fees are the normal for all SIHFT i.e. £6 for Juniors/Primary class entrants and £7 for the rest. This includes your entry in to the end-of-shoot draw for the cash and Air Arms goody bag prizes, but remember that if you're not there when your name is pulled from the hat/bag, you'll not win.

Any visitors - NOT full members of one of the six Sussex participating clubs - wishing to attend, please contact me before the weekend if you've not already done so.

For the few of you who may not have visited Swallows FTC before, detail of our location can be found HERE.

See you all shortly - that's all of you; not just Tugg

Yes - I know there's 6 full days to go and, in meteorological terms, that makes it a looong way in the future. But ...

... if Metcheck has its best seaweed in hand right now, we're looking at wet n windy. Between 09:00 and midday, they're forecasting 4mm of the damp stuff and a 19-36mph south westerly breeze.

Many have tried to forget the event, but which of you recalls the 'Monsoon shoot' at Swallows?

Good wet weather gear, including guy ropes, highly recommended.

No such thing as bad weather - only an inappropriate choice of clothing by those who venture outdoors when there is slight precipitation

Weathers looking better by the day, might even see some of the hobbits venturing out

Sorry Si for not saying hello last Sunday at the Oaks, must have been the bright sunshine effecting my hobbit eyes as I didn't see you there.

Hope there isn't any rain at Swallows as your trousers may shrink a little closer to your knees.

3 and a bit days to go and Metcheck have had a delivery of fresh seaweed.

You may be able to leave your monsoon quality galloshers at home (or keep them in the car boot in case).

Prediction now dry (until late evening), a tad warmer (18c) and a 15-25 mph south south westerly puff.

That's better

Sounds perfect, looking forward to my biannual visit to Swallow land.
