Sussex Interclub HFT 2024 - Round 3 results

[biggles]

Afternoon all.

Big thanks to the crew at Buxted, perhaps specially for those of you involved in setting the course in the 2nd wood during Saturday’s less than ideal weather and to your new chef (Dave). Good work all round and much appreciated by myself and all today’s visitors.

Turnout of 50 not bad at all given the ‘clash’ with fathers’ day and the less than clement (certainly not Summery) weather forecast.

Relieved to say that the weather gods were kinder to us, with mostly sunshine and few clouds to block out strong sunlight – meaning so many targets in your fab woods were dappled in shade – and no sign of any precipitation at all.

The breeze certainly did put in an appearance – a relative rarity during recent Buxted visits – and also caught peops out all over the place while it tried to make its mind up, both in direction and strength.

Top bombing today from Sir Peal, who does seem to be settling in with that XTi, keeping him 1 point ahead of Oakie Aaron.

Anyway …. Here are the results. If you’ve not seen (or forgotten) the results table layout, perhaps the only column not recognised from its heading is the last one – the “T”. This denotes that this person’s score has been included in their club team result.

If anyone notices a slight difference from the team score I read out at the end of the shoot, that was down to my own silliness – failing to correctly record the 57 of Aaron

Today’s draw winners were:
Bonus Bunny £50 – Kev Hills
Air Arms Goody Bag – Vince Guy

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.

As a reminder, SIHFT Round 4 is now just 2 weeks away, on Sunday 30th June at Meon (Hen Wood site). Full detail to follow next weekend – after I’ve recovered from 2 rounds of the 2024 UKAHFT at Meon and Bisley.

Apart from the UKAHFT rounds noted above, I am unaware of anything happening locally. Do let us know if you know different. All/any events may be posted on our SIHFT Facebook page, on the proviso it does not actually clash with a SIHFT competition date.
