Cambs Double Rise 2021

Today (Sunday 22nd August), Cambs were at The Priory for the Double Rise. Most shot theirs this morning before ‘shooting’ across to Northampton. Last squad was at 1pm. Weather was quite dreary. Overcast for the most part, not too windy. The Priory did a fab job of catering for our shoot as well as holding a skeet competition.

The results are as follows:

Champion	Richard Croft	A terrific 85
Veterans’	Tim Jones	68
Men’s	Phil Barnard	77
Ladies’	Hazel Lilly	58
Colts’	Ethan Lord	48

Congratulations to our winners and a big thanks to those who took the time to shoot. Our massive thanks to Natasha at The Priory, for holding the competition.

Many thanks

Phil

East Midlands AGM

It’s obviously AGM season… Here’s a note from Colin Butler regarding the East Midlands one:

I am pleased to say that we have booked the Bell Inn at Stilton for the East Midlands CPSA AGM.

The date for your diaries is Monday 13^th September 2021.

Janet has indicated she would like a pre-meeting starting at 7pm and then a welcome buffet from 7-30pm, with the AGM starting at 8pm, I hope you can make the early kick off.

As always can I have the names of your elected county representatives before that date, and can I ask if you cannot attend that you send a substitute attendee, although we don’t envisage the AGM will go on for long with no presentations this year.

Ian Parker and Clare Alger from HQ has been invited to attend.

Janet also informs me that the costs at the Bell Inn have risen significantly, so it may well be time to once again move our business elsewhere, so if you have a venue in mind and think we should investigate the possibilities please let myself or Janet know, obviously it must be as central as possible.

I would be grateful if you share details of the AGM date on your websites and Facebook pages.

Many Thanks

Colin

AGM – 12th August

Veterans’	T Jones	83
Ladies’	H Whiten	72
