Thank you to the regular team plus ‘volunteer’ helpers which enabled us to clear the field just before the rain started.

A fairly low turnout again this month with 25 members and a few guests but another interesting layout with simultaneous pairs on half the stands. There was also a novelty stand with Standard, Midi and Mini clays mixed in one trap and a rabbit in the other – great fun and probably easier than it sounds if you just ignored the size of the clay and followed the line. Only Matt managed to hit all 10, but he struggled with the pair of incoming Crows which most people found the easiest stand proving that we all like different things.

Winning scores today were:

AA     Peter Saich 52
R/up Glen Boxall 50

A Class Andy Willett    52
R/up    Nigel Foreman 49

B Class  Gavin Smith       46
R/up     Jason Stredwick 40

C Class Stuart Hulme 37
R/up     John Webb    35

The Tony Warsop Memorial Shoot run concurrently with our August shoot at Clandon clashed with the Final of the Women’s football world cup but we still had an average turnout of members.  Glen had a hand again assisting Andy and Matt with the set up, but the scores were back to normal after last month’s challenging layout.  Still not easy to hit but definitely easier to see, except for the driven through the sun on Stand 2.  I think the queue got bigger there whenever a cloud came over.

Mike McCarthy had a return to form and a runaway win with 69.56, while the handicaps calculated by Andy proved to be very accurate, with only two points separating the top scores in AA, A, B and C Classes.

Handicap class winners:

Overall winner	Mike McCarthy	69.56
AA Class winner	Matt Oldland	66.30
A Class Winner	Chris Clark	65.91
B Class Winner	Ian Hargreaves	65.00
C Class Winner	Mike Thackery	64.57
Ladies Class Winner	Lorina Warsop	64.11

Another month where the weather forecast was dire but turned out to be ok.  There was a bit of a gusting breeze but no rain.  Our ‘Guest’ course setter Glen Boxall set us a challenging layout, with most scores 10 targets below their average, but an interesting layout and without targets like that occasionally, you will not improve so well done Glen.  Thank you also to everyone else who helped get set up for a prompt start.

Glen went on to demonstrate that the targets were ‘hittable’ with a top score in AA of 43.  Even he only hit three out of ten on stand two (hard to see green and even harder to see mini!). Second was Kevin Scarlett, just one behind on 42

Des Park also hit 43 to win A Class.  Des missed all ten on stand two, but only missed seven targets on the remaining five stands – Great shooting Des and welcome to AA Class.  Second was Andy Willett with 40.

Top of B Class with 34 was Alex Blackwell with John Martin second on 30.

In C Class, Ron Turner scored a good 35 with Peter Garland runner-up on 31

We had some good help to clear up and finished around an hour earlier than usual which was fantastic – thank you so much to all those who stayed to lend a hand.

Skeet continues on Wednesday evenings at NCSC Bisley – Send Peter Saich a message on 07947 259963 if you would like to come and join in, or if you would like to try Down-the-Line or Sportrap and he will see if it is possible to run it concurrently with our Skeet evenings.

Great shoot today with yet more new and entertaining targets, including some green ones that camouflaged themselves against the trees if you were not quick enough!  Attendance was low with only 25 people shooting on Father’s day. The weather forecast was for heavy rain with flood warnings, but the day remained warm and dry throughout, so some of you missed a treat.  Great targets with some good scores.

Matt Oldland had top score with 56, just ahead of Peter Saich on 55.  B class was won by Chris Tailby with 49 with Richard Hill in second on 45.

Charles Duncan was top of C Class with 41 and Stuart Hulme was second with 36.

There were some good scores amongst the Visitors where Geoff Potter scored 47, one ahead of Kevin Stocker while Charlie Brabon was top Junior with 37.

Well done to the class winners, and thank you to the set up and clear up teams.

Don’t forget our Skeet evenings at NCSC Bisley every Wednesday evening from 17.00 to 19.00.  Phone Peter Saich if you want details or directions.

Andy Wallace followed his 25 at Skeet on Wednesday evening with an exceptional 58 today to win A Class.  In comparison the nearest to that was Kevin Scarlett (AA) with 52 and Peter Saich (A) with 51.  Jim Hackett shooting as a guest also hit 52.
B Class was won by Alan Davis with 48, ahead of Alex Blackwell on 46.  Chris Flanders scored a good 49 in C Class, with Stuart Hulme and Ian Young joint second on 41.

37 members and 10 guests returned scorecards for the April shoot and we welcomed our newest member John Martin to the club.
The weather on the day was kind but conditions under foot were still not so good in places.
Thanks to everyone involved in setting up, running the shoot and packing away afterwards.
Some outstanding scores were achieved, notably for trophy class winners Jerry Sollick (C, 48), Aaron Wiggins (B, 50) and Mike Collins (A, 49). Glen Boxall (AA) was overall high gun with 57. Well done everyone!

33 members and 12 guests recorded scores this month on what proved to be a tricky layout for some. The ground conditions after recent wet weather made the setting up and packing away more challenging than usual and an even bigger thanks goes to everyone who was involved.

Class winners this month were Kevin Scarlett (A), Rick Warrington (B) and Ian Parish (C), each being promoted to the next class. Well done all!

Finally, the club offers a warm welcome to our newest member this month: Jason Stredwick.
