Bonus Club Competition Cards
Are you aware that any competition card shot and marked on a Sunday counts for the club competition?
So if you are shooting in the Secondary Schools competitions on Sundays this month, or you shot in Sunday’s National Indoor Championships, do make sure those scores are recorded.  Inform Stephen of your scores, and check the marking clipboard in the marking room and the club scoreboard in the club room to confirm they were recorded.
