The Bermagui Field and Game club shoot for August was the 100 target Cheryl Brady Memorial Shield handicap event sponsored by Nev and Shirl Brady of Bermagui Welding. Nev and his helpers had set a course with five shooting stations, each having three traps where the degree of difficulty progressively increased over the four rounds as the mix of targets changed from predominately single targets, through to report pairs and finally to simultaneous pairs.

Shooter comments were positive on this changed format and generally described the course as "interesting" and while many shooters’ scores were above their handicap, scores were not helped by one station of simultaneous crossers that became harder to see as daylight retreated.
High Gun on the day was C Grade shooter Andrew Whitbread who came in with a creditable handicap score of 119. Other C Grade shooters also put in good scores to head the scoreboard and collected magnificent meat trays as prizes that were prepared by Benny's Butchery of Cobargo, as did Tony Crome who was unsuccessful in shooting for the shoot raffle and had to settle for the consolatory meat tray. A special thanks also to Mick Cook who gave up his Sunday to trap for the shooters.
The club's most prestigious annual award, that of Club Person of the year for 2016 has been awarded to Barbie Magrin. The presentation was made at last month’s shoot by the relatives of founding member Neil Rouse and is awarded to the member who the committee considers has contributed most to the club in recent years.
Barbie has enthusiastically held the position of club secretary for the past two years and has tirelessly participated in working bees and helping out in many facets of the club's operation over a long period of time. Memorable are the working bees where Barbie was the last person standing after a strenuous day’s work - a popular recipient and an award well deserved.
