June 10 shoot: Well guys, another Saturday shoot has arrived and has turned out to be a warm sunny slightly overcast day.  

We had 42 shooters came to bust some clays and enjoy the range set up. This maybe a little understated for the boys set a range that was a little more challenging that usually, we all had trouble shooting some of the clay, some may say they had trouble seeing them.

Winners

AA Grade: 1^st Greame Boyd, 2^nd Greg “Spike” Newton. A Grade: 1^st Brad Wignall, 2nd Stephen Peck, 3rd Michael Krua Davies. B Grade: 1st Bruce Dungan, 2nd   Darren Inglas, 3rd Ivan Furner. C Grade: 1^st A Miko, 2^nd Vicki McDonagh, 3^rd Matt Bagley. July 10th shoot will start at noon. Next month shoot will be Off The Gun.

Thanks to people who help will lunch and afternoon tea as well as help range setter pack up after the shoot, every extra helping pair of hand helps the job get done quicker. It helps get them who set up to back to the club for presentation. Just a last note we have bucket hats, baseball caps available at the club for sale at $20 a head.

Range setter for next month are S Tipping, T McGrath and J McGrath with the two Michaels who were rostered on being away on holidays; have a nice trip boys. So anyone who can help with set up it will be helpful. We also wish club member Matt Wilesmith the best of luck as he heads over to Hungary to shoot in the World Titles for Australia.

Was a good day last week when five took off from Billy’s café about 9.30am and via a devious route around the district they landed in Cootamundra, where they had lunch with a bunch of five from Griffith. After much munching and chin wagging, they all rode back to Temora where the two groups parted company and headed back to their respective camps.

Meet and Greet was well attended on Saturday in spite of the near-freezing conditions. 

On Sunday, still fresh, five bikes and six members braved Jack Frost for a run up to Boorowa. Leaving Macca’s at the usual time we headed up to Bethungra via the Oura/Nangus road and stopped in at the Old School House for a coffee and other essentials, which was well warranted by this time in this weather. 

After a chat with Gary, a warm up and a consensual discussion it was decided that Harden would be the destination for lunch due to the time frames.

So off we went via the back roads behind Cootamundra. By this time the day was turning out fantastic weather-wise and with a burger, fuel and more essentials at Harden the route home was Muttama, Coolac and Gundagai for more essential requirements. I’m sure it must be the weather and not an age thing. Keeping off the freeway the Nangus road was the choice back to Wagga after goodbyes at Gundagai. 

Our next event is the Christmas in July thing at Jugiong on Saturday night  July 15. Unfortunately, all accommodation in Jugiong is spoken for, so if you want to go either take a swag or camp at Cootamundra or Gundagai or battle on back to Wagga. Also on the Sunday (July 16) of that weekend we are raffling some firewood at the Swap Meet being held at the Showgrounds, with the proceeds  going  to this year’s  toy run.   

On Saturday we will be conducting a sausage sizzle at Toys R Us which is also on behalf of the toy run. If anyone can help with either of these events please give Spyder a call on 0429 315 800 or Pat on 0408 420 766.

On August 6 it is the annual meet at the  Morundah Pub for lunch with Griffith and Albury/Wodonga, departing from McDonald’s Edward Street car park at 9.30am. In the meantime, rug up and enjoy the frost, or should that be the froth on top of a schooner.

900 Yards was the range at Lockhart on Saturday. Conditions were quite cool with a light breeze which at times changed directions so had to be watched. Low voltage on the target battery caused a few issues for the first couple of shooters and when it was replaced all was good again.

In F Open John Goodwin had a terrific shoot. Scoring his first possible in the second stage. Neville Lyons top scored in F Standard and Scott Brindley in Target Rifle completing his second stage with a possible.

Next weekend will be a special 1000 Yard shoot starting at 12 noon with eight to 10 shooters attending from Wodonga.  

We will be using manual targets and setting up early for a noon start to shooting.  

A sausage sizzle will be on prior to shooting commencing.  And the Wodonga members will be bringing afternoon tea.  All are welcome for what should be an enjoyable afternoon.
