2025 CAMBRIDGESHIRE CPSA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The 2025 Cambridgeshire CPSA AGM will be held on Tuesday 14 January 2025 at 7.30pm at Haddenham Sports and Social Club.

We are looking for more people to join the Committee.  Please would anyone interested in joining the Committee put their name forward to the Chairman (Tim Jones) or Secretary (Jane Jones).  Nominations will also be taken at the AGM. Keepsake trophies will be presented to the 2024 Championship winners and Supreme Champions. I hope that many of you will be able to come along to support the evening and look forward to seeing you then

Cambridgeshire Supreme Champion 2024

Those who have been following the results will not be surprised to learn that Phil Barnard has won the Supreme Champion title – something he has achieved every year of the competition since 2019. This year he managed to average a remarkable 92.5 across 6 disciplines! Tim Jones takes the Veterans’ title.

No Seniors (other than Phil), Ladies, Juniors or Colts shot the qualifying six county championships – something to aim for in 2025 perhaps?

A busy weekend!

Well that was a very busy weekend for us all! There was the inter counties FITASC at Sporting Targets: Cambridgeshire seniors got Runners Up, and Cambridgeshire shooters got both Junior High Gun (Ben Jordan, 88) and overall High Gun (Harry Seal, 92).

We didn’t enter any shooters for the national inter counties competitions held at Bywell for DTL (Sun) and ABT (Sat), but we did have the Cambs OSK and Double Rise somewhat closer to hand at The Priory.

Making the choice to be at any of the events was a bit of a challenge – thanks to all that attended!

Cambridgeshire OSK and Double Rise 2024

Thanks go to the priory for sorting the Olympic Skeet (OSK) and the Double Rise this weekend, 6th October 2024

A gusty wind made all the targets a bit tricky at times, but at least it stayed dry and even occasionally a bit sunny.

Cambridgeshire Handicap by Distance 2024

29th September 2024

We were back again to have the handicap by distance at The Priory Clay Target Centre this is a fairly new competition for Cambridgeshire, but has been going for the last 3 years so a fair attendance. The birds were looking great till we all shot them – seems its not as easy as we all think! Scores were very close all over.

Thanks to priory for setting it all up for us and looking after us all again.

Ladies triumph at East Midlands I/C DTL

Wow – that was a very wet day for all those who were shooting the EM IC DTL today at Nottingham. So many shooters came out to brave the heavy rains, and wind today. No sun for even a moment.

Cambridgeshire Ladies were on top form today, with combined scores of 549/600 awarding them the winning score for Ladies on the day – massive well done to Georgina, Hazel and Jane for their efforts on such a tough day.

Congratulations to all of the shooters today, fantastic scores, and a thank you of course for waking up this morning, seeing the weather, but still joining us at Notts.

Thank you also goes out to Nottingham & District Gun Club / Nottingham Clay Shooting for hosting such a big event, to your referees and your staff who have also had to persevere.

Thank you to Janet for presenting such beautiful glassware for such a difficult day.

Well done all. Tough day, but many a happy face once all was done.

Hannah,

Cambridgeshire All-Round 2024

We started back with the All Round on the Sunday 14th July 2024. Seemed like summer had finally arrived with bright sunshine and almost no wind – just a gentle breeze to help keep your temperature down to a reasonable level. Not the entry we were properly hoping for, but with great targets and a sunny day we all seemed to enjoy the competition.

Thanks to priory for hosting once again and providing us with great targets to test us all.

Cambridgeshire Sportrap 2024

Sporting Targets 19th May 2024

We were at Sporting Targets today for the Cambridgeshire Sportrap. After a short spell of morning fog, the sun came out to give us all a wonderful bright and sunny day – perfect for shooting. Great range of targets were before us, but the combinations made some harder than they looked at first sight. Well done to all the competitors.

Our thanks once again go to the scorers and staff for the organisation and help to make the shoot a success – thanks to you all.
