This weekend saw the City of London Finals at the Surbiton Postal Rifle Club in Kingston on Thames with the "C" team and several individuals from East Grinstead TSC in attendance.

The day didn't start well with a water main burst on the A243 closing the road. The satnavs picked a variety of very interesting alternative routes! Despite this all arrived in plenty of time and were raring to go!

Range

The work party got quite a bit done on the range to get it ready for the open shoot.:

• Cleared leaves from firing point (Elaine Kettle)
• Trimmed more of the trees down the lefthand side of the range (Andy Meyers, Jim Howard)
• Cleared ditches (Malcolm Brain)
• Burnt all the trimmings (blokes!).

So quite a useful work party. Thanks everyone.

EGTSC once again had an excellent turnout for the British National Meeting on the outdoor ranges at Bisley. Five members shot for the whole of the week, one shot for the first weekend, plus 3 more for the last Saturday, when the East Grinstead club team represented Sussex County in the Astor competition.

East Grinstead hosted the Sussex County Open Meeting on 7th June 2015. Several of our members attended and were successful in picking up several prizes. Full results are available on the SCSBRA website.

Malcolm Brain and Andy Meyers reached the final for the Sutton Gold Cup. Graham Rowcroft, Sheena Wilde, and Sam Kettle reached the final for the Eastbourne NALGO Trophy.
