Chairman’s Report

As was pointed out in my last report, moves are afoot and I am sure you have all been aware of the clean and tidy barn that we have now.  This took place on 25^th October, 2011 and was due to the hard work of Iain, Alan, Ron, Kathleen, Jeff, Ian, Mark and Bill.  Thanks must go to all who helped.  Let us hope that it can be kept like that. 

The talking point of the last few weeks has been the Halloween Shoot.  11 hardy soles braved the dark and scary woods to take part in our first Halloween shoot. The only source of light being a variety of bright and not so bright torches to find the targets, which, at least had glow sticks to point you in the general direction.  It was so hard fought over that 2 shoot-offs had to take place to determine the winners.  A good laugh was had by all.  The consensus being to repeat it again next year with more targets being available and better decorations. 

Two weeks ago we either had an attempted break-in at the field or just plain vandalism.  The padlock from the hut was removed and the one from the ladies was removed by bolt cutters.  That one was found on the ground.  I am please to say that other than the padlocks, no other damaged was done to our property and the padlocks have now been replaced. 

The Pistol section has now embarked on their winter league.  This had to be postponed for two weeks as we had BBs visiting. 

Our next fun day will be the Christmas shoot on 18^th December 2011.  I hope as many of you as possible will support this.  A lot of work is put into making it a success and catering is also provided.   

The Pistol section will hold their fun night on 23^rd December 2011. 

As it is unlikely that there will be a report before Christmas, I will take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the forthcoming season.
