Sussex Interclub HFT 2023 - Round 8 results from Buxted
Hi All
Big thank you to today’s host – Buxted – for setting a challenging course, leading to this year’s equal lowest top score of 56; well done to Roger D and Howard K for achieving that. Oh, and if you’ve forgotten when 56 was last the ‘top’ ….. it was in Round 3 at Buxted. But I think today the wind put in an appearance more than earlier in the year. It certainly needed to be watched more closely/carefully than I gave it due, as it switched direction and strength far more than our lane positions did as we worked our way round the reverse-to-normal pegs at Buxted.
Apart from the wind’s mention above, the weather today was a tad out of kilter with that experienced in the last week – plenty of sun and none of the expected Buxted mud. Doubt our good fortune will see the same when we enter the Southern Hunter Winter season series.
And final thanks too to the catering crew (always especially love my bacon butty at Buxted – reckon it’s the best on our circuit) and to my bestest admin helper – Alicia – for keeping me in check.

As well as the badges noted above, there were 2 new SIHFT Platinums awarded (for achieving 5 Golds) today. These went to Kev Hills and Charles Peal. And not forgetting (for those of you not present today) the late adjusted Platinum award issued before we kicked off today’s round, to our one-n-only Veteran World Champ – Mark Rackley
All but one club (Horsham) fielded at least a full team of 5 bodies. For Horsham, to top up their 1 person team a trio of cards were drawn at random, as per the SIHFT rules, leading to the following results.

Can you spot any errors in this post? Have I spelt your name correctly? Do I have you down for the correct club/class? – please message me directly if any issues.
As a reminder, the final (competitive) SIHFT Round 9 is in 2 weeks, on Sunday 8th October, when we return to Horsham. Will it be muddy?? Will it snow?? Well, it is late autumn/early winter. And for the person regretting his use – for the 1st time today – of his scope’s illuminated reticule, you may wish to rethink turning it off if my recollection of Horsham’s dark alleys are in play.
What else is happening between now and then ……
Only know to me event is the last of this year’s Summer HFT Open comps at Mile Oak on Sunday 1st October
Have fun and stay safe
