After last years clean sweep by the Ladies, the gents got a look in at this years Thwaites hosted at East Grinstead TSC. Over 30 shoooters attended the event on Sunday including one from as far afield as Scotland. The morning was blighted by continuous drizzle but did at least have the benefit of subdued lighting!
The club held a coaching session for members on Saturday afternoon.

East Grinstead TSC had great success in the Sussex County competitions this year through all the classes. They came away from the county dinner and prize giving with a table full of trophies.
For full results refer to Sussex County website.
Malcolm Brain and a group of shooters from Sussex had success at the Jersey open this year.
The top three shooters were separated by only two points after an intense match undertaken by 37 competitors in interesting conditions. In the end, Tony Wells (Cuckfield) and Russell French (Chichester) were tied for top spot and were only seperated by one point on countback with Tony Wells coming out as the winner, continuing from his successful 2nd place in the April shoot earlier in the year.

Despite the promised blustery weather shooting conditions remained good for the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club 50 metre open match at the weekend and the top shots were in good form.
Malcolm Brain and Andy Meyers attended the National Meeting organised by the NSRA at Bisley from 10th – 18th August 2013 with considerable success for both shooters. Malcolm won the NSRA Eley Class A final by a clear 5 points and achieved joint top score in the X Class weekend aggregate (1,174/1,200) but unfortunately was placed second on count back! He achieved one first, one second & two third places in the constituent competitions.
