Apologies for the gap in updates - due to absence and illness. As a result, the deadline on Sunday for SSS and Closed Champ competition cards was a surprise to many. Please do keep an eye on the upcoming events for these deadlines.
Welcome to Kendra, who visited a few weeks ago and is now coming along regularly. Great to have you Kendra!
Club shooting
Congratulations for personal best shooting over the last three weeks to Eli (99.3), Ethan (97.4), Kaitlyn (95.1), Nate (89.1), Trevor (98.5), Zahra (96.4).
Top scores among the senior shooters go to Bex with 99.7 in the 10-shot series, and Mark B with 200.12 in the 20-shot competition
Interclub success
Round 5 of the interclub competition occurred on Tuesday evening. Well done to the Open Team (Bex, David, Meredith and Stephen) and the B Grade Team (Eli, Finn, Filly andJaz) for winning their matches against South Wellington and Ngaio respectively. The C Grade Team (Alex, Ethan, Trevor, Zahra, Kaitlyn) shot well, but had a tough match against Wellington Central.
Introducing a 20-shot round this week
We’ll be short-handed this week at club night, with Craig and Stephen supporting the students shooting in the Secondary Schools teams competition in Petone on Sunday afternoon. Nevertheless, we will introduce a 20-shot round for everyone this week, so you can get some practice in ahead of the Round 4 SSS Champs deadline of 30 August.
