Around the Traps: January

The Warren Gun Club held its first monthly shoot last Saturday.

Fine weather conditions with light breezes and bearable heat made for a competitive (no excuses) afternoon of shooting.

Four squads of shooters enjoyed a four event programme shooting for a the 25 target Tom Wild

Overall winners on the day were Steve Walker (Coonamble Club) was the shoots high gun and AA grade winner, Goolma club shooter Oliver Rodgers won the A grade division, with Warren shooters Douglas Ferguson taking B grade, and Ashley Bell C grade.

The clubs AGM was held in December. Congratulations to the new Warren Gun Cub executive members with David O’Brien taking over the President’s role from Don Williamson our hard working outgoing President.
Don is taking over the Secretary’s role on a transitional basis. Don will be ably supported by Fiona Soulsby who will manage Treasury and Finance. Mark Ticehurst is the new Shoot Marshal.

Many thanks to last year’s executive and committee who have left the club in a sound position financially and competitively.

The next feature event is the Ernie Wills Memorial shoot that incorporates the NSW Western Zone Night Double Rise Championship, to be held on Saturday the 13th of February.

The club welcomes visiting shooters and members old and new, with Brian Greenaway becoming the latest member.
