EGTSC A Team won Div 2 over the winter season and were invited to compete against all the other division winners. On Saturday 24 April, the A team (Tim Green, Malcolm Brain, Charlie Bird, Dave Britchford and Sarah Collyer) went to Finals Day at the Surbiton Range. They also took with them the trophy (the Corporation of London cup) won last year by Eastbourne, who had left it with us at our open shoot the previous weekend.

On the same day three members made their way to East Hoathly for the Eastbourne and District Finals. Tim Green was in the Spain & Aldbury Cup (Eastbourne Championship) and tied for 2nd with Barry Butler (Eastbourne) and Richard Woolger (Southwick). Following a re-gauge (.25) Tim ended the day in 4th.

Sixty entrants from 12 clubs in the South East enjoyed the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club's Spring Open meeting. For once the weather was consistent on both days with sunshine and hardly a breeze to stir the wind flags.

SNOW

Half-way through February already and the days are lengthening even if it is still a bit cold.  The picture shows the range in the snow.  A number of our more hardy members kept shooting; very peaceful but you needed a good filter to reduce the light!

The good weekend weather produced some good scores from the sixty shooters who took part in the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club Autumn Meeting.  The overall winner taking first place in A Class was Barry Butler of Eastbourne with a score of 588 out of 600.  Barry completed one of his three cards in 6 minutes and 30 seconds of the 20 minute detail, and still maintained his high scoring rate.

Sarah Collyer and Mike Kettle were members of the Sussex County Bossum Cup team of 20 on Saturday 22 September 2007.

This competition is for shooters who haven't shot in the County team and gives an opportunity for shooters to experience shoulder to shoulder shooting in a team.  The event is hosted by Tunbridge Wells and St Peters.

Good conditions helped 55 competitors from across the home counties to achieve some high scores over 50m in East Grinstead Target Shooting Club's autumn meeting at the weekend. Although closely challenged by Adam Cornbill of Southwick with 588, international shot Linda Smallbone, of Eastbourne, won the Class A Silver Cup with a score of 590.
