A much better attendance yesterday at the Club with 10 members and 2 visitors in attendance
One visitor is a potential new member with connections in Glen Innes travelled from Armidale to have a look at the Club facilities and ascertain what is involved in joining a Club, gaining a licence and eventually obtaining firearms.
The second visitor travelled from Gunnedah to complete purchase of a near new Air Pistol and visited the club and shot a match of Air to try his new "toy" out. He indicated that he will be back in February to take part in the Club's February Open.
Four members contested a Standard Pistol Match, one undertook Practice in Air Pistol and three contested Air Pistol for the first time with Wayne acting as Range Officer and Coach.
Michelle surprised herself recording a score of 480 and breaking into "C" Grade in Ladies 60 Shot Air Pistol after only 3 days coaching over the last two months and previously only firing about 180 shots. Dick and Kim scored a little less but both have not previously shot a full Air Pistol match.
Match of the day next week is Centre Fire/Sport Pistol commencing at 1 pm sharp

Jason, Kerri and Wayne with the assistance of one of Jason's workmates attended the Club early on Saturday Morning on 9th November and installed a brand new Air Compressor to replace the old unit that had served the club faithfully for well over 25 years. 
The changeover was completed before 11 am giving time to properly test the new machine and fittings before the afternoon match of the day.
Bob continued with his painting in the men's Toilet Saturday and Sunday mornings as well as touching up in the Ladies and Disabled toilets leaving only the floor now to be painted to complete that project.
After Lunch, Bob and Trevor contested a Sport Pistol Match with Wayne acting as Range Officer. Bob scored a Personal best shaving 3 points off his handicap.
There was no competition on Saturday 16/11/2019. The weather conditions and fires in parts of the area no doubt contributed to this
Matches of the day next Saturday will be Standard Pistol and Air Pistol commencing at 1 pm - hopefully with a few more participants

All scores handed to me since September have now been entered into the Club Data Base, where necessary, handicaps have been updated and then the scores off barrel and handicapped have been entered on the Club web page under Match Results 2019.
There are a few gaps in this period due to no competition being shot on that day. There has also been significant gaps since March also due to the major works undertaken by members to complete the upgrade of the Air Range.
I have not entered individual results for members contesting events at the Open on the Match Results page as this is not a handicapped event, however, I have attached a file showing full result for the Open in a Blog Page entry.

The Club held another successful ISSF Open and North West and New England Zone Championships in September with 46 Entries received.
It was very pleasing to see so many competitors (visitors and Club Members alike) jump in to assist with the running of the event and, in a few cases, giving up a match that they had been squadded to contest. Their assistance is very greatly appreciated by the Organising Committee of the event. I can't single anyone out to thank as, not being there myself, I could miss mention of someone which I do not wish to do.
Scores for the event are now in the file attached below
