Hi All
Well, what a day!!!
Given the almost total lack of breeze at the start of the shoot and for the first couple of hours, I guess I was surprised that my ‘simple’ little course survived without a clearance or three. Most unlike Swallows FTC hosted rounds, during this one it was probably the heat which caused problems in place of our usual driving rain or howling gales (or both).
Hope you all enjoyed it; the feedback was certainly positive and very welcome after the effort we put in.
Here are the full results – in the usual format – and with the usual request to PM me if you believe you spot any errors or omissions.

Team Results – I predicted excitement, and that’s exactly what we got – in spades. Today’s Team winner, counting no fewer than 3 of the 4 100% scores recorded was Horsham, with their best score of the series. If Derek and his crew could perform like this regularly, they’d surely be up for replacing our usual suspects.
However, the high level of scoring throughout the year (years!) has to go to both the Oaks and Buxted; seemingly unassailable at the top. Potentially looking defeat in the face, the Oaks managed a brilliant final round comeback, overturning the 4 point lead which Buxted accrued after Round 9, to win the Sussex Interclub Team trophy by 5 points. Very close chaps
Club Round 10 Total
Oaks 285 2701
Buxted 276 2696
Horsham 287 2665
Ford 272 2582
Iden Fern 264 2485
Swallows 231 2143
With only 3 members present for this round, Iden Fern’s score was bolstered by two cards drawn at random from the pack, picking up a 47 and 51 to give the total you see above.
Hope to see a whole big bunch of you for the Sussex Interclub end-of-year event, to be hosted by Buxted on the 7th October, alongside their Sussex Open shoot. You don’t have to enter the Open to come along and celebrate the SIHFT winners .. but you might as well do. While I know that Simmmo will provide full details when the thread is published, please remember that as well as the individual and team trophies to be handed out, we have at least one very special prize up for grabs. This will be won by raffle, drawn on 7/10, from the list of names of those of you who have entered at least 6 of our 10 rounds.

Also like to say that the standard of shooting in Sussex has improved so much over the last two years, I predict a very close SiHFT 2013, team & all other classes !!!

Great series well done to all. (we will have you next year)
"If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much room!."
Thanks Steve
Well done to Horsham on a cracking finish.
I can't believe that another series is over, incredible that the margin was only 5 points out of 3000!
Lots of heroes today, Swallows of course for setting a course that looked deceptively easy, but soon caught out the unwary, the sign of a good course
Rudy(stick with that rifle) and Phil Jacobs - marvellous stuff, my hat is also doffed to Kim Lum and Kathryn Follis with 53s apiece. The list goes on, but thanks to everyone for such a good-natured series.
Charles, you are a star - you old tart
Well done Oakies!
Regards
Richard

You come into this world with nothing, go out in debt and you've made a profit
Mog says I need to take up fishing.... he said I would suit it better
this was after getting in to the middle of a confrontation between the landowner & one of the disgruntled fishermen, a right banker he was (missus was nice though ), the fisherman started to get a bit brave with him (sunglasses came off & everything ), still not quite sure what Charles meant, but matey wasn't so brave after I walked over, all I said was everything alright , idiot

And that was all down to My guys and their dogged determination (no! dogged steve...) I would like to thank them all personally,especially for carrying me through a bad spell or three...
With more stars like Rudy coming through, the future is bright the future...is Orange!
Charles the Godfather you are a star!
Agree with the Sussex standard now Steve, quite special imo!

SIHFT Winners 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - AND 2014....2015..2016...oh look back at green...running out of colours! Ha!
Have to say I've seen more fat on a chip, but it's got me thinking about getting the old "Camo Thong" out again, although I'm not sure John James could take the excitement,
