The Cambs 2025 AGM took place on 14 January 2025. There were only 11 Cambridgeshire members in attendance, including Committee members. John Martin (East-Midlands representative) attended along with faithful companion Kenji. Thank you to all those who attended. A number of the 2024 Committee members had indicated they wished to stand down, including Tim and Jane Jones (Chair and Secretary), as a number of the Committee members had already had to stand down during 2024, this left only 2 committee members. Under CPSA statutes, a quorum of 5 members is required for a county Committee to operate. In order for the Cambridgeshire Committee not to fold that night, Jane and Tim Jones agreed to continue as Chair and Secretary, respectively, and P Barnard also agreed to join the Committee achieving the quorum of 5. A committee of 5 is small and Tim and Jane said that they would not be able to commit as much time to activities as they had in 2024. Other members then kindly, but not without some reluctance, put their names forward to be on the Committee so that the responsibilities of organising, overseeing and attending the various shoots could be spread. Members of the Committee spend a lot of time organising county competitions and trying to get teams for inter-county competitions but few shooters are willing to participate and it can be particularly difficult getting teams together.
The 2025 Committee members are:
T Jones (Chair), J Lewis (Vice-Chair), G Thatcher (Treasurer), J Jones (Secretary), P Barnard, J Bell, L Carter-Gifford, K Flitton, A Oakey.
Dates have been arranged for the following 2025 Cambs Championship shoots:
UT – Sunday 16 February – Nuthampstead
HBD – Sunday 2 March – Priory
ABT – Sunday 9 March – Nuthampstead
OT – Sunday 23 March – Nuthampstead
Please can holders of the 2024 trophies remember to take them back on the day of the shoot or arrange to hand to a committee member before the Championship date if they will not be attending.
The dates and venues of the remaining County Championship shoots will be put on the Cambs CPSA Facebook and Website once they have been arranged.
The Committee hope that members will support as many of the county championship shoots as possible and look forward to catching up with everyone throughout the year.
