Although the entry was slightly down on last
time, we still had a great day at Melbury
yesterday for the Double Dewar Meeting,
renewing acquaintances old and new, and
with some good shooting in fairly challenging
conditions - there was plenty of mirage
particularly visible at 100-yards, and a tricky
light wind.
Full results will be emailed to all entrants later,
and are also on the notice-board at Melbury
for you to see, but particular mention should
be made of Amy, who not only won Class B
prone, but also the ladies’ and the mixed
pairs with Jon Morris, while Gary Green won
Class B bench rest as well as the veterans’,
and also the pairs with Steve Hutchins. Neil
Prideaux won the English Match section and
came a close second in Class A of the Double Dewar.
Paul Batten took his customary winner’s place at the top
of Class A prone and the veterans’ and with Roger Bird
took the pairs event also. Lovely Dartington Crystal
engraved glasses as well as medals were presented at
the close of the meeting. Any not collected yesterday
will be available to pick up from Saturday.
Such meetings don’t run themselves, so I am very
grateful to everyone who assisted me - those who
stayed behind after Saturday’s shooting session to help
set up the range, the range officers who kept everything
running smoothly, Sue and Amy with their usual excellent
range of refreshments (the smell of bacon wafting on to the firing point was quite a
distraction !) and everyone who helped clear up quickly at the close of the meeting forgetting Jon who made sure that the whole range was mown and looking its best. - not
Thank
you all.
Our next two meetings are the Robeda (June 14th) and the English Match for prone and
bench rest (July 20th) - forms are available at Melbury, please sign up as soon as you can.
