Seven members attended the Club over the weekend with all members shooting multiple matches.

There was no less than 30 matches contested over the 3 days which would have to be a record for a Club weekend.

The best scores for each member for each match appears on the Results page.

There is not expected to be a large attendance this weekend, being the Australia Day Long Weekend, but Centre Fire will be the match of the day commencing at 1 pm on Saturday.

Very happy with the attendance yesterday considering that nany people are still enjoying their Christmas/New Year break.
​
Six members attended the Club and contested 6 WA1500 x 48 shot matches (3 members shooting 2 matches each), 2 members shooting a 50 metre rimfire rifle match and then all 6 members in attendance then contesting a Standard Pistol Match.

Next weekend is the first of our two day weekends with Black Powder and Rapid Fire scheduled for Saturday afternoon and a Sunday Match of either Centre Fire/Sport Pistol or Standard Pistol to be contested at 10 am.

Bob has kindly offered to stay overnight Saturday night to supervise the Sunday event.

Hopefully, these weekends will prove popular and continue well into the future improving attendances by all members.

A very good turnout on Saturday with 10 members in attendance, mostly for the final Committee Meeting for 2024.

A highlight of the meeting was that three new membership applications were approved by the Committee.

The Committee also approved a trial for next year to have club competitions 2 days in the one weekend every second month commencing in January, 2025.

If the trial is successful, we will continue the practice, but, if not successful after a few months trial, we will discontinue the Sunday event.

The Competition Calendar for 2025 will be published in the next few days.
​
The Club will hold its last Competition for the 2024 Calendar year next Saturday with 25m Black Powder and Rapid Fire being the scheduled matches.

We will then Close all ranges for the Christmas New Year break and re-open on Saturday 4th January with Standard Pistol and 50 Metre rimfire rifle being the matches of the day.

On behalf of the Club Committee and members, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
​

We have seen very small attendances over the last two months for numerous reasons. It seems that there are far more demands on all member's time at this time of the year.
However, those that have attended have contested multiple matches each day with several of those in attendance taking the opportunity to contest a rimfire rifle or air rifle match for which our ranges are licenced.
​Match of the day next Saturday is Centre Fire/25 m Pistol.

A smaller than normal September Open was held over the weekend of 20th , 21st and 22nd September.
The weather was very kind all weekend with crisp nights and very pleasant days.

Winner of the Men's 5 Match aggregate was Bruce Quick with a score of 2757
Winner of the Ladies 3 Match Aggregate was Valerie Nicaisse with a score of 1516
Bruce Quick was also the winner of the Bruce Favell Rapid Fire Trophy with a score of 569.

All Match results are posted in the attached file below.

​Our next Open will be held on the weekend of 14th, 15th and 16th February, 2025
​

A couple of weeks with low attendances due to illness but a tremendous turnout last Saturday for a Working Bee and Club Meeting.

Everything is now clean and ready for the Club's second Open for the year commencing on Friday 20/9/2024.

Entries are down about 7 on the February events with a number of regulars lucky enough to be enjoying overseas or interstate holidays. Unfortunately, we have had 3 withdraw this week due to health related issues.

Longest distance entrants are from Holbrook, Canberra, Campbelltown and Cobar.

All we need now is for the weather to be kind over the weekend and we should have another very enjoyable ISSF Open event.

A much better attendance last Saturday with one Air Pistol Match, seven 48 shot WA1500 Matches and five Standard Pistol Matches contested during the day.
Bob was the "ironman" of the day contesting an Air Match to start his day off followed up by three WA1500 Standard Revolver matches before lunch and a Standard Pistol match after Lunch.

Next weekend's scheduled matches are Black Powder and Rapid Fire commencing at 1 pm.

A great turnout for the Club's Annual General Meeting yesterday with approximately half of the Club Membership in attendance.
Members enjoyed a lunch provided by Kerri Tom and the Weileys before the meeting commenced.
As expected, there was only one change to the elected Committee to replace the committee member who passed away several months ago.
There were 3 Air Pistol Matches, 6 WA1500 48 shot matches and 4 Standard Pistol Matches contested before lunch very much enjoyed by all that took part.

Match of the Day next Saturday is Centre Fire/ 25 Metre Pistol.

The cold and bleak conditions in recent weeks has resulted in several weeks without any competition and only a few "Practice" or ammunition testing shots being fired.

However, last weekend was Black Powder weekend and a cool but bearable day weather wise.

An Air Pistol Match, 6 WA1500 Standard Revolver and 3 Black Powder matches were contested with another member firing 40 Centre Fire Practice shots during the day.

Next weekend, the Match of the day is Standard Pistol followed by the Club's Annual General Meeting and hopefully, we will get a reasonable turnout for the meeting to occur.

​Entries have started to filter through for the September Open and we are hopeful of a return to the better entry numbers we had seen in recent years gone by.

It has been a little quiet at the club over recent weeks with a couple of members away on holidays, two members away on Referee Council Business with a few more trips to come over the next few weeks and generally the traditional cold weather for this time of the year making it much less pleasant venture away from the warmth of home.
The annual General Meeting is now only 3 weeks away and we are still shy of a couple of nominations for Committee Positions.
Our September Open is to be held on 20,21 and 22 September with entry forms to be emailed out in the next 48 hours. With interest shown to date, we hope that we will see a return to our pre COVID entries.
