All competition scores need to be recorded onto your Excel spreadsheet. It is much easier to record these after each shoot than to try to remember scores at the end of the season.
Brooklyn are rostered to run the Wellington Open Champs from 10.15am to 12.15pm on Saturday 11 July. It is hoped that as many members as possible will help out, and also compete, in these champs. Please fill in the roster sheet next Sunday if you have not done so yet. Once the information has been collated, the finalised roster will be emailed to members. If you are using club equipment and shooting in the champs, please advise the club equipment coordinator (Mark Robinson) so that your equipment can be taken out of storage prior to the champs starting.
A reminder that entries for the Triple S Champs for secondary school students close this Wednesday 1 July. If you are interested in this competition, please email our college coordinators, Stephen Thessman or Craig Fair urgently.
