15/01/2012 - Shoot Summary
As promised the weather was fantastic, the first shoot of 2012 got off to a truly magnificent start. I can’t remember the last time the shoot was that well attended.The long break for Christmas didn’t seem to have put many of you off with a higher than number personal bests:
| Rodney Bamforth | 38/50 | 76% |
| Graham Baxter | 44/40 | 88% |
| Steve Butler | 44/50 | 88% |
| Paddy Crowther | 39/50 | 78% |
| Rob Hatton | 36/50 | 72% |
| Ron Henthorn | 39/50 | 78% |
| Stephen Lees | 37/50 | 74% |
| Craig Spencer-Smith | 38/50 | 76% |
Well done you guys, with a top score of 44 on the first shoot of the year we could be in for an interesting year.
As you can see I have setup the online scoring for 2012, at the last shoot there were quite a few members who bought double rounds and yet only one actually submitted two cards (thank you Alan Waterhouse). The online scoring is not meant to be a competition, it is meant to help you track progress. So from now on if you buy two rounds you will be expected to submit both cards if you fail to do this then the missing card will be counted as 50 misses. C'mon guys lets keep it real!
It will be your last chance to show your appreciation to the trappers at our next shoot on 29th January, I know its a bit late to still have the tips jar out for them but with missing the last shoot and the way the dates have fallen this year there really hasn't been many opportunities to have it out. Thanks to all of you who have already done so.
I received a thank you letter from Oldham Mountain Rescue for the £750 donation made in memory of Alison Crowther who sadly passed away just before Christmas. This and the donation to The British Heart Foundation of £750 in memory of Ken Henthorn who died in November last year makes a fantastic total for the year of £1500 awarded to charity, thanks on behalf of the charities to all of you who without these donations wouldn't have been possible.
Membership Renewals for 2012 are now due, look out for your renewal notices, could we ask that you renew (if you intend to do so) in a timely manner, this is important to maintain our cash flow. As usual you will have until the end of March to renew anyone not renewing before this date will be required to pay the £10 joining fee.
