Haileybury Veterans Rifle Club at The Imperial Meeting, BISLEY - July 2014

Haileybury Veterans Rifle Club at The Imperial Meeting, BISLEY - July 2014

Once again the weather held throughout the day, possibly a bit hot and windy but nothing that our seasoned 'shots' couldn't handle.

This year we fielded the best 'A' team for many years, the total score of 237.16 was certainly the best achieved in the last ten years or so. Well done to Alan, Adrian, Keith, Graham and Gary for such a fine effort, at this rate of improvement we will be up with the top teams very soon!

As always, our 'B' and 'C' teams did a great job in support with particularly good scores from Peter Kenyon-Muir and Giles Haley.

Detailed results of the Meeting show that both our 'A' and 'B' teams came 23rd overall, (2013 - 37th and 22nd respectively).

Our Man-of-the-Match this year is Adrian Henson who not only travelled a long way but achieved an excellent score of 46.2 despite very limited recent experience. He will be receiving his hand engraved medal shortly.

We were very pleased to welcome Catherine Macleod-Smith (Haileybury Society Chairman of Trustees) who diverted from her usual hectic schedule to catch the last of the shooting and join us at The White Hart, Pirbright for a pre-dinner drink. A very convivial evening meal followed which , judging by the seamless chatter, was enjoyed by all present.

For the record, the scores were: 

'A' TEAM

Alan Grant - 49.4

Keith Trowbridge - 50.5

Graham Marley - 44.1

Adrian Henson - 46.2

Gary Feast - 48.4

TOTAL - 237.16

 'B' TEAM

Rob Butt - 35.1

Peter Kenyon-Muir - 43.3

Adrian Golland - 38.00

Simon Glover - 35.00

Richard Franklin - 37.1

TOTAL - 188.

'C' TEAM (Part)

Martyn Thorburn - 34.00

Michael Heyland - 35.2

Giles Haley - 45.3

The 2015 meeting is likely to be on Thursday 9th July - BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT.
