The Annual Prize Meeting

The programme for the day was:

1. JACKSON CHALLENGE TROPHY: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 300 & 500 yards, a.m.
2. LOVESY CHALLENGE BOWL: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 600 yards, p.m.
3. LONG RANGE TROPHY: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 900 yards, p.m.
4. PRESIDENT’S PRIZE, the Championship: best aggregate score for the day.

Disappointingly, only six members were able to make it to this important event. Nevertheless, they enjoyed a very pleasant day’s shooting in benign conditions marred only by a couple of light showers. The results of the competitions were:

Competition	Winner	Score
The Jackson	R A Welford	99.12
The Lovesy	D J King	50.6
The Long Range	D J King	50.8
The President’s Prize	D J King	198.24

Aficionados will recognise that these scores are good, which may reflect the conditions to some extent. It is worth noting that Rob Welford also scored 50.6 in the Lovesy, but was counted out, and was a very close second in the Presidents Prize with 198.21. Remarkably, five of those present scored 49 or over at 900 yards, as follows:

Andrew Black	49.5
Ted Eilley	49.7
David King	50.8
Rob Pile	49.4
Rob Welford	49.3
