We were thrilled to have Jeff Bourman - Shooters & Fishers MP - and his wife, Nicole, join us on Saturday. Jeff took his camera and sat next to a thrower in Restricted so we are looking forward to some great action shots! Jeff also stayed to help with presentations and he and Nicole assured me that they will be back again as they genuinely enjoyed the day. Thanks to everyone who made them feel welcome:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 1284335592Thank you so so much to all the people who contributed to making this weekend a success:
Our judges - Julie, Greg, Bob, Marg, Jim and Graeme.
Prue Winkfield - for organising our judges
Lyn Wise - property, VCA rep, catalogue, picking up lunches, organising the loo and stewarding in All Age most of the weekend despite not being entered.
Greg Playdon - sorting birds, carting and carrying and general guidance - mate, you are a legend. Thank you so much. Just don't let it go to your head.
Gareth Tawton - not only looks after the club's equipment but towed the trailer to the trial site despite not being able to participate over the weekend.
Bob Tawton - delivering guns and primers
Karl Britton - maintaining the guns.
Rick Price - providing the game.
Dianne Vapp - as always, vetting, paperwork and presentations - ever reliable!
Ray Ashendon - Masterchef! Best bacon and egg sangas in town.
Ben Terry - new to the scene with a pup, stewarded all weekend and did not throw ONE no bird!
Dean Furnell - stewarded in All Age all day Sunday. Just amazing.
Barry Cumins - helping judges throw test birds and repairing equipment on the run - life saver!!!
