As in previous years, relatives Michael and Helen Rouse from Tumut and Bruce and Mat Wilesmith from Temora attended to commemorate this well-remembered foundation member of the club. Local shooters were joined by visitors from Mallacoota, Bombala and Cooma.
Sunday was also the second of the club's new shooter and novice training days and it was good to see four new shooters attend. The club is indebted to A Grade shooters Mark Gschwend and Gavin Moulding for giving up their days recreation in order to provide instruction to the new shooters. A special thanks also to Gary Martin who trapped for the competition; quite a commitment to shooting after having participated in his preferred skeet discipline in Cooma on the previous day.
The stand out score on the day was achieved by Bruce Wilesmith in A Grade with 91 per cent of targets shot and there were consistent scores across most grades including C Grade.
Michael and Helen Rouse presented club people from previous years with attractive engraved glassware for their part promoting the club and perpetuating the legacy of Neil Rouse. Shirl Brady was the first club person to be recognised for her significant contribution to the club during 2011.
Meat trays donated by Maddie and Rory from Benny’s Butchery were given to Pat and Talia Jubb for their event sponsorship and to Jimmy Drakos who was unsuccessful in realising the $350 cash prize from the club shoot raffle.
Next shoot: 10am Sunday, August 23
100 tgt HCP Cheryl Brady Memorial Shoot.
Set up crew: Nev Brady, Gav Moulding, Brett Wills, Dave Moore, Elspeth and Barry Dunn
