A big thank you to all who came to July’s 50 bird sporting competition. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces and also some new ones. Despite the forecast, the rain stayed away all day which kept competitors and not forgetting the markers happy!

Congratulations to our local man Gordon Boertein who came out on top with 48, an almost unbeatable score. Coming just 1 mark behind was D. Owen with 47, joint 3rd, Finley Bell and P. Allison with 45. Steve Davies, Steve Norris and D. McCulloch all scored 44.

Ladies winner goes to Laura Farmer with 14, and Junior winner was Thomas Coulthard with 25.

On Sunday morning Peter made a last minute decision to add the compact as an extra competition. The winners were G. Brown and Gordon Beutein with scores of 24 (out of 25).
