Hi All
A fun and interesting start to the 2013 SIHFT. Perhaps my prediction of a raft of clearances if we had no wind would have come true; but of course the wind pixies did join us. As a result, while there was some excellent scoring from many of you, with 21 Gold badges awarded and people with a 57 on their card failing to make their club team, just one managed to read the wind to perfection. Big congratulations to Sam for his stunning 60.
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 – Very pleased to say that all 6 clubs had a full complement of members to make up their teams of 5, so no need for random score card draws.

Far too early to read anything in to the above. Last year proved that even mid-series would have been too early to start placing bets on the outcome.
And finally I need to put right a pretty awful omission of mine during the end-of-shoot ceremonies. I forgot to say a HUGE thank you to Swallows FTC unsung heroes of the day, none of who shot in the comp. They are :
Kerry and Mike, who so generously turn up to help and (MOST IMPORTANT) deliver your refreshments
and
Gerry (our Chairman whose knee was too dodgy to shoot today) and his son Stuart. Both helped put up an take down and ensure that any traffic heading to or from the airfield was kept under control.
Thank you all so much.
Roll on Round 2 at Ford in 2 weeks time.
