Happy New Year to everyone - We start the New year with some bad news,
I'm afraid. Dick Jones, one of our Vice Presidents
passed away on Thursday last. I have no details regarding the funeral
but will post them here as soon as I hear anything and would appreciate
anyone updating me, if they have some information. It's not easy to say
much about Dick, he was a guy, with a dry sense of humour, who beavered
away in the background at the club, and carried out many maintenance
tasks for us. Some years back, I opened the Rifle target shed to take
out a target frame and was surprised to see a Fersuson TE20 tractor
looking at me. It was in beautiful condition and belonged to Dick who
had restored it and who was a stalwart enthusiast in the world of
vintage tractors.
The following photographs are typical of Dick and I extend my
apologies to the Glamorgan Iron Horse Society for filching the pictures
from their website. Our thoughts and condolences are extended
to Trish, Calli, Laura and all the family.

Many websites have a date on them somewhere,
indicating that they have
been updated - I've decided to produce this 'Notices' page instead.
It'll save anyone searching through the site looking for any changes as
they'll be diaried here.
Today, on the Airgun page, I have added details from the NSRA
concerning the British Airgun Championships. Also added on the Black
Powder page are details for a Sporting Rifle league.
Julian
also informs me that there is to be a fun shoot on Boxing day the 26th
December.
Sorry for the late notice.
It will be shot on a copy of the N.S.R.A. "Good Luck" Target.
All members, family members and probationary members can shoot.
The rules are simple:
Five (5) shots, highest score wins.
If a shot hits inside a square the competitor receives the value of the
number in that square. If a shot hits over a line the competitor
receives the values of numbers in the squares touched.
If a shot over the lines where they cross the competitor receives the
value of the numbers in all the squares touched. Thus the highest score
for a shot is 18.
The club BSA Super Sport 5 with iron sights will be used for all shots.
The club will supply the ammunition.
Standing unsupported.
All ties to be settled with five (5) shots on a new card; highest score
to win. The judges decision is final. It will be shot in the 25M Pistol
Range.
Arrive about 10:00 and finish by about 13:00. There'll be a bottle of
vino for the winner, Julian says that as he doesn't have much
taste, don't blame him if it's not very good!
Mince pies etc optional, please feel free to bring something.
Donations to cover the cost of ammunition and any additional prizes
would be greatly appreciated.
