COUNCIL FOR CADET RIFLE SHOOTING

Incorporated Charitable Organisation Registered Charity Number 1151650

The Council for Cadet Rifle Shooting was formed in 1969 through the amalgamation of the former Imperial Cadet Association, the Public Schools Rifle Matches Association and the Committee responsible for the Inter Service Cadet Rifle Meeting. From its inception, it has been supported by the Ministry of Defence through the agencies of the Combined Cadet Force Association, the Sea Cadet Corps, the Army Cadet Force Association and the Air Training Corps. All the pre-Service organisations, the Council of RFCAs, the NRA, NSRA and BSSRA were founder members. The charity was changed into an Incorporated Charitable Organisation on 31 Dec 2013 The Council act as a central body, which can speak with authority and give advice on cadet shooting matters. The Council's responsibilities, exercised with the approval of the Ministry of Defence, include liaison between other representative shooting authorities and units of the pre-Service cadet organisations and the dissemination of information on shooting matters affecting cadets. In addition to arranging and administering rifle meetings, postal shooting competitions, coaching courses and other shooting events for cadets at schools and units in the Commonwealth, the Council also provides administrative support for cadet teams selected to represent Great Britain in National and International Matches, both at home and overseas. The Council shares a permanent Secretariat with The Territorial Army Rifle Association. It has a base in Derby Lodge at Bisley for information and administration throughout the year as well as canteen and recreation facilities for participants in the Schools and Inter-Services Cadet Meetings and Cadets attending National Meetings at Bisley. Members are kept up to date on shooting matters and results by means of the website, circulars and information notices. The Council also publishes an Annual Year Book and calendar for the benefit of members. A copy of the AGM Minutes can be obtained from the Secretary on request. Application for membership should be made to the General Secretary, Derby Lodge, Bisley Camp, Brookwood, Woking, Surrey GU24 ONY.

CHAIRMAN'S ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Our objects are being achieved, we have thousands of cadets shooting to a high standard. The BCRT, a team of 18 this year selected from 32 applicants, won all their matches save for the Faraday which was lost by a single point. The UKCRT, a team of 12 chosen from 22 applicants, for the first time ever lost the Cheshire Cup but this was in a way excellent as it gives much needed encouragement to the Channel Island Cadets. The GBU19, a team of 8 from 17 applications, won their three matches. The Clay Target Shooting Championships proved highly successful with Trent Wing ATC beating the other 45 teams competing. Col Cadets, on his visit on 26 October, expressed some concern that he was supporting relatively heavily, due to the sums being spent on Clay equipment, a non-core activity; was it becoming a distraction to rifle shooting. We did our best to reassure him that it was an excellent part of the “Cadet Experience”. The ISCRM despite the absence of the SCC was highly successful and for the first time had one match, the Watts Bowl, coached by cadets which incidentally resulted in a record score! The Schools Meeting had 48 schools with an increase in the overall number of cadets. 32 teams contested the Ashburton won by Dollar Academy whom he identified as being particularly smart and professional cadets. CISSAM was excellent with 126 (City of Derby) Sqn ATC proving the most successful team, however the AFC won the Inter-Services match by 5 points, 1 hit. These are the facts that will be more fully reported within the discipline reports later in this Annual Report. At the AGM I was wearing my Ashburton tie earned back in 1957, and reflected on my twelve years as Chairman now ending with some relief, more pride and a great deal of sorrow. I have done many jobs in life but very few have been so really satisfying with long term impact in a successful and effective organisation. Bringing on young people not just as good shots but as good citizens with discipline and responsibility is enormously worthwhile and this aim is in our constitution. The reward is reaped at every Rifle Meeting, encountering polite, cheerful, look-you-in-the-eye, proud of what they do, self-confident and full of self-respect youngsters, unlike much of the youth of today. Then there is the other reward of working with the dedicated and enthusiastic Adults who give so much to the movement. However, at 71 years old I believe that it is time to go as my network of military contacts have all either already left the services or are too senior. Ian Dale, my successor, has his own and contemporary network that will serve him and CCRS well. During my time as Chairman we have encountered the post Dunblane problems and dealt with the production of the first Cadet Shooting Policy; the refurbished 7.62mm Cadet Target Rifles’ re-issue; the CCRS website; the expansion of the cadet forces and the linked perception by one individual in the MOD that it could be paid for by ditching the CTR; appointing and retaining the Duke of Westminster as President who will be invaluable should we ever need to raise the stakes to the highest level; the new and current Cadet Shooting Policy which is Government and MOD policy. It is this policy that gives the authority and direction for our shooting activities, and which may not be changed at any lower level than by a tri-service decision in MOD. Ongoing items are: the need to resist excessive regulation, a point that Paul Edwards acknowledged his branch should carefully vet; the recently changed policy that does not allow cadets on duty to share ranges with civilian clubs; the future of TARA and the consequent changes should it merge with the ARA; the need to ensure that the military authorities continue to understand we are not Crown Servants, and does not regard the funding we receive as being ‘very generous’ to the charity, but recognise that they receive 100% value for just 66% of the expense, the other third of the cost being provided by CCRS’s own funds; relationships with the new Cadet Branch staff in Aldershot must be cultivated and their support earned; on fundraising, the campaign is now in the hands of James Postle with the assistance of Paddy Hunter-Murphy, and is prepared and ready to roll; we have secured a sponsorship deal with ELEY for the Country Life competition over the next five years, with the deal able to be extended; incorporation of CCRS under the masterful guidance and with much hard work from Philip Corp is moving close to fruition; succession planning must be carried through as Simon and Steve approach the end of their working lives with CCRS; the intention of the ACF to limit cadet service to the age of 18 will need to be managed to preserve their participation at the highest levels; and lastly the Government have acknowledged the need to find future sporting talent, so have tasked and funded Sport England (SE) to first identify talent pathways and participation pathways then set them up. For the discipline of shooting SE have set up British Shooting (BS) to take the Government’s aims forward and I have made them aware of the rich seam of talent in the Cadet World that they now need to exploit, and take the young people forward to the highest international level. The Trustees have accepted my offer to continue to be the CCRS link with BS.

In summary, yearly we have over 9000 cadets entering our competitions and activities from the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and S Africa. Bisley is the biggest event in which cadets of all three services gather en masse, we are involved in something big – bigger perhaps than we realise. Finally I thank the Trustees, All the Volunteers and the CCRS Committee Members for their industry, determination and dedication and the three members of Staff who continue to serve CCRS with enthusiasm. “My daughter said to me the other day that if I were wanted by the police she would tell them I would either be in the bar of the Cavalry and Guards Club or with cadets at Bisley; they’d pick me up in no time. Well, they only need to look in the bar of the Cavalry and Guards Club now!”

JR Smales RONNIE MELVILLE EQUIPMENT FUND

Since October 2012 we have issued 6 sets of equipment costing £1824.83 and some second hand equipment from stock. We hold two jackets (c.£500) and a returned telescope and stand awaiting issue. There are currently no requests waiting to be processed but more applications are expected. Three current loans are due to become permanent when the recipients confirm that they are still using the equipment; or if they fail to do so the equipment will be withdrawn to stock and available for redistribution. Currently 70 individuals hold equipment provided from the fund. Income from interest has been £51.94 Expenditure has been £1824.83. The closing balance stands at £10600. Efforts to make people more aware of the fund and it’s potential have achieved some success in that this year there have been a few more requests. We continue to spread the word and the details of the Fund and how to apply are on the CCRS website, www.ccrs.org.uk. Finally I thank the Secretary for administering the Fund.

SCHOOLS REPORT 2013 Chairman: Major S Cox

32 schools shot the Ashburton this year, 3 up on 2012, while 12 shot the Ashburton Fours, the same as last year. Sadly 2 fewer schools than in 2012 shot each of the Cadet GP Team Match and the Marling, despite the general view that these shoots are now much more interesting since their updating last year. The GP Team Match was won by Sutton Valence, with Oratory second and Pate’s third, wide margins separating the teams’ scores. Exactly the same was the order in the Marling, Sutton Valence convincingly clear of Oratory, who however had Pate’s narrow the gap to 11 points. Sutton Valence continued their successful run into the evening, winning the Falling Plates, with Oratory second yet again, but in third place were Ampleforth. The Schools Aggregate, which includes CTR scores, saw Oratory well out in front, while Pate’s overtook Sutton Valence to come in second. In the GP individual matches, Pawlik of Sutton Valence won the Marlborough Cup on 48, chased by 45s from team mates Evans and Allesbrook, as well as Ballsdon and Hooley of Oratory, while the Cadet GP Individual went to Latham of Sutton Valence, with 131 to Allesbrook’s 127; so despite only 42 in the Marlborough Cup, it was Latham who took the Financial Times, admittedly by only 1 point from Allesbrook. To these scores were added individuals’ Marling scores to make a new competition with new prizes, the Oratory School GP Challenge, and GP Twenty Badges. Here Latham with 215 reigned supreme, while Evans on 202 overtook Allesbrook on 196, with Pawlik chasing hard on 194. The Cadet Champion at Arms combines CTR Cadet Rifle Aggregate scores with Financial Times scores, and here Allesbrook with 270 stole a march on Latham with 257, while Tritton-Price of Oratory came a close third. In the CTR pre-Ashburton team matches, the DSG Trophy on Tuesday was won in a close contest by Dollar, a mere 8 v-bulls ahead of Epsom, and two points ahead of Wellington, while the Victoria College Trophy on Wednesday went to Wellington, one point ahead of Elizabeth and 8 above Epsom; however, the Devon, for the 5 best individuals over the two days, went to Dollar by a clear margin of 6 from Wellington and 11 from Epsom. On Ashburton Day itself, Dollar set a clear lead at 300 yards with 260 to take the Kinder, leading Epsom by 6 and Wellington by 10; then at 600, although the scores were a little lower, Dollar still won the range, for the Epsom Trophy, with 248, Epsom staying in contention with 244, while Wellington slipped a little to join Bradfield and Elizabeth on 239, Victoria came through to 3rd at that range with 241. Even so, Dollar led the order at lunchtime with a lead of 10 over Epsom and 19 over Wellington, Victoria and Elizabeth being the next in line. Maybe some strong words were to be heard in the Wellington camp over lunch, for in the afternoon they surged ahead at 500 to win the Country Life with 252, but even so Dollar hung on with 249, and a very close field followed – Pate’s 248, Elizabeth 247, Epsom 246, Victoria and RGS Guildford 245s. So it was Dollar who won the Ashburton with 757, clear of Epsom by 13 and Wellington by 16; they also took the Cadet Fours and the Cheltenham Cup, while Sevenoaks won the Cadet Pairs, and Wellington won the Rutland by one point from Dollar. In the Ashburton Fours, Marlborough won at every range, 14 points clear of Cheltenham in second place, with Campbell, after a slow start, making a competitive third. In the CTR individual competitions, McKerrell of Dollar won the Tuesday Aggregate with a fine 104.14, but only 5 v bulls ahead of team mate Montgomery, with McIntosh from the same stable chasing with the top 102. The Wednesday Aggregate went to Innes-Whitehouse of Wellington, with the only 103, with 102.10s from both Mann of Elizabeth and Dodds of Tonbridge ahead of a string of 101s. The Schools Hundred – the total of these two aggregates – was won by McIntosh with 203.21, and a mere two v-bull margin above Taylor of Stamford, while there were three 202s, from Innes-Whitehouse (21v), Matthewson (Tonbridge) also 21v, and Astin (Gresham’s) 19v. The Cadet Rifle Aggregate however, being the best at each of the three ranges over the two days, was dominated by the Dollar trio – Montgomery with a fine 105.12, McKerrell 104.14, and McIntosh 104.13, the only other 104 being Innes-Whitehouse 104.11. Schools Hundred scores are combined with Ashburton scores for the Cadet Grand Aggregate, and it is interesting that there were only two scores over 99 on the big day over the whole range – which may represent pressure, or maybe cadet coaches rather than adults, or maybe single-entry rather than multiple-entry shoots; so the winner was Owen of Epsom with 302.28, clear ahead of 299s from Matthewson (26v) and McIntosh (25v), and 298s from Dodds (26v) and Astin (23v). The final individual competition – self-coached – is the Spencer-Mellish, won by Rolfe of Wellington with 49.7, followed by 48s from Lee of Oundle and Glen of Glenalmond. Thanks go to Peter Turner for planning and executing another successful and enjoyable meeting; while for another successful and enjoyable year of Cadet Shooting, with all the background work that goes into supporting it, we must thank Simon Fraser and his team at Derby Lodge.

excellent coaching by their cadet coach and all coaches participating in this match should be congratulated for their efforts.

The meeting was held from 25 to 27 October on Pirbright Ranges with a total of 50 teams participating. The weather was very overcast with some showers on Saturday. Unfortunately the Sea Cadet Corps were not represented. Individual Matches In the individual matches 126 (City of Derby) Sqn had outstanding success winning the Individual Snap with Cpl M Hill scoring 90 and Flt Sgt E Marsh won the ‘Top Individual Cadet’ trophy.

The ‘Falling Plate Competition’ proved to be a great spectacle with the final a very closely contested competition between D Coy 1st (NI) Bn ACF and Salamanca Coy Somerset ACF. This was the closest fought final for many years with Salamanca Coy just coming out on top. In the pairs match Sgt J De-Vall & RSM A. Lewis-Edwards from Dyfed & Glamorgan ACF won scoring 137 points, 73 on the Figure11s and 64 on the Figure 12 targets.

The Inter Services Match, teams of 12 cadets, held on the Sunday morning proved to be the most closely contested since CISSAM started some 10 years ago. The match resulted in a win for the Army Cadet Force by 5 points. The presentation ceremony was carried out in the gymnasium at Pirbright by our chief guest and prize-giver, Wing Commander John Chappell AE, SO1 for the Defence Youth Engagement Review Implementation Team who is based at RAF Cranwell. The success of our meetings this year was down to the tremendous efforts of by my committee. I wish to thank Major Simon Fraser and Gina for their continued support and Captain Steve Ellis for all his work in organising the administration and for his excellent work as our secretary during the year. Thanks also Anne, Rachel and Vicky in the stats office. I thank the NSRA and NRA for their continued support of our matches and all those who in any way contributed to the meetings during the year. On behalf of ISCRM, finally I thank Brigadier John Smales on his retirement for the tremendous effort that he put in to promoting and guiding CCRS during his 11+ year’s tenure in office. His ongoing support, leadership and enthusiasm was much valued and we all wish him the very best for the future.

CLAY TARGET SHOOTING REPORT Chairman: Major George Garman

The Championship was successfully completed over the weekend 14 –16 June 2013 at the Cambridge Gun Club Clay Target Shooting Ground in windy conditions that produced a considerable challenge to all the competitors. The Club went out of their way to make us welcome even to the extent of putting in a Flush shoot, a facility they did not have. This year we had a capacity of 48 teams, 48 teams applied to compete, but in the end we had 46 competing. Judging by the enthusiasm and enjoyment displayed by all the cadets and their adults, the meeting was a great success. The accommodation at West Tofts Camp was perfectly satisfactory, and the catering excellent. The competition consisted of Sporting, Down the Line (DTL) and Flush, with a good spread of winners after fierce competition in all the disciplines. The Sporting was won by Essex ACF, the DTL by 1 (Northern Ireland) Bn ACF, the Flush by Ampleforth College CCF whilst Trent Wing ATC were the High Team and Cpl M Horry of Trent Wing ATC was the individual High Gun. The Inter-Services Competition, a Flush Shoot, for the Cadet Force 150th Anniversary Cup, presented by the Army Rifle Association, was won by the CCF. SSI K Ogle, 1 (Northern Ireland) Bn ACF won the Adult Sporting competition. Brig MJ Wharmby O.B.E., Secretary of the CCFA/ACFA, kindly attended and presented the prizes after seeing his VIP Team defeat an Adults’ Team in the Flush. We look forward to the 2014 Championships, which will be held on the 20th – 22nd of June at the Cambridge Gun Club.

OVERSEAS MATCHES REPORT

Chairman: Colonel John S Wilson OBE DL

THE BRITISH CADET RIFLE TEAM [BCRT] (THE ATHELINGS) (CANADA) Organising Officer. Membership of the Athelings Team is widely considered to be the pinnacle of cadet shooting. This is well orchestrated under the leadership of the Hon Organiser and Chairman of the Sub-Committee, Major James Postle. Team Members. The Commandant for the 2013 team was Lt Col Craig Stewart, Dollar Academy CCF, assisted by the Adjutant, Capt Abi Crockett, Glenalmond College CCF and the armourer Maj Alwyn McLean, TA. The team of 18 cadets included 13 from the CCF (10 different contingents); 4 ACF (4 different counties) and 1 ATC. This year, none of the Reserves was used (in 2012 four were called forward) but it is worth noting that all three Reserves were excellent and fully committed in their support for the Team right up until departure. NRA Imperial Meeting. Before the tour to Canada, there had been some good individual performances during the NRA Imperial Meeting. Cdt CSM Louis Stewart (Dollar) finished 167th in the Grand Aggregate. One Atheling; Cdt Sgt Tom Matthewson (Tonbridge School CCF) was in Her Majesty The Queen’s Prize Final, finishing 66th. Tour Programme. The tour was extremely successful with a good programme including cultural visits to Montreal, Toronto and Niagara. Adventurous activities included jet boating and two nights in Algonquin National Park, the latter now returned to its usual position at the end of the trip. The only significant change this year was that the NRT travelled with the BCRT during the touring phase and this had benefits and detractions in equal measure. The Canadian Liaison Officer for the BCRT, having been called up at short notice to travel with a group of Canadian cadets to Scotland, was not on the ground with the team until the start of the shooting phase. We understand that this unsatisfactory situation will not occur again. Canadian Cadet Meeting. In the Canadian Cadet Meeting, Cdt Oliver Rolfe (Wellington College CCF) won the Grand Aggregate. DCRA Meeting. In the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association competitions, the Athelings had many notable individual performances. Cdt Flt. Sgt Alice Southall (126 (City of Derby) ATC) qualified for the Governor General’s Final along with Major Alwyn McLean (Armourer). Alice also won the Cadet Open Championship whilst Cdt RSM Seth Dowley (Cheltenham CCF) came second in the Cadet Short Range Championship.

14

Cadet Team Matches. In the Rex Goddard, the Athelings had a lead of 13 points from Stage 1 at Bisley. They produced a dominant performance in Stage 2 at Connaught winning the match overall by 34 points. In the Michael Faraday the Team had a narrow lead at 300 and 500 but fell away at 600 and lost by 1 point. GB Under 25 Team Matches. There being no GB Under- 25 Team in Canada this year, an Athelings team shot and won both the Short range (by 4 points) and Long range (by 24 points) matches. Tour Report. The Tour diary, some photographs and full results are on the CCRS website. A detailed report, by the Hon Organiser, appears later in this Annual Report Team Selection for 2014. The first stage of the selection for 2014 was undertaken in September, selecting one Army Cadet, 2 (NI) Bn ACF, and two Air Training Corps Cadets from 2390 (Belfast Royal Academy) Squadron and 1344 (Cardiff) Squadron. The selection will be completed on the 16th Dec 13. THE GREAT BRITAIN UNDER 19 TEAM [GBU19] (SOUTH AFRICA) Team Members. This was another successful tour under the leadership of the Hon Organiser and Chairman of the Sub-Committee, Major Simon Fraser. The Commandant this year was Capt Kevin Pilcher, Cambridgeshire ACF. The team of eight included one civilian rifle club member and seven cadets or ex-cadets, five CCF and two ACF. Tour Programme. The touring phase was good fun and hugely beneficial. Initially staying at Reitvlei for two nights the Team undertook, a canopy tour and a visit to the Lesedi Cultural Village. Then they moved to stay on a game farm near Potchefstroom undertaking a game drive, a visit to a lion farm and a bullet making factory, clay target shooting, white water canoeing plus activities to enhance team building and to get used to the altitude and climate. Shooting. The shooting at Bloemfontein was very successful despite the sad deterioration of the domestic facilities. The team won all three team matches; one member qualified for the State Presidents Final. Due to the date of the SABU Meeting we had to return to the UK on the day after shooting finished. Tour Report. A full tour report appears later in this Annual Report. The Tour Diary, and scores are on the CCRS website. Team Selection for 2014. Richard Benest (Victoria College CCF) is the Commandant for 2014. Planning has started, 12 applications were received and all were invited to attend the training / confirmation of selection on 17-20 Oct. Two withdrew, one due to the pressures of exams, and the eight selected are all cadets or ex-cadets (5 x CCF; 2 x ACF; 1 x ATC). THE UK CADET RIFLE TEAM [UKCRT] (CHANNEL ISLANDS) Team Members. The Hon Organiser and Chairman of the Sub-Committee for this team is Lt Col Frank Cox and this year the Team Commandant was Maj Nevil Topham, Oratory School CCF, with Capt Charlie Cooper, 2 (NI) Bn ACF as Adjutant / Coach, and Capt Verna Burrell-Taylor, Charterhouse School CCF, as the Lady Officer. The team of twelve cadets included six CCF (different contingents) and six ACF (different counties). Tour Programme. The tour has now settled into a well-oiled routine. The team departed on the Saturday in order to get a little more touring time in Jersey, and time for a practice. The crossings both ways by Condor Ferries were without incident, other than a significant delay in departure from Jersey on the return leg. Accommodation at the TA Centre was more than adequate. All activities at the ranges both for shooting and feeding went very well, and most evenings were spent in and around St. Helier. Despite a very consolidated shoot programme, time was found to undertake a number of visits to places of interest. Shooting. Shooting was of a good standard, and there was a very much stronger showing by the Channel Islands Team. This led to their winning the Cheshire Cup for the first time since inception, which can only be good for the competition. Detailed scores and a detailed tour diary are recorded on the CCRS website. Team Selection for 2014. Lt Col Frank Cox has requested to relinquish the appointment of Hon Organiser and Chairman of the Sub-Committee. I am very much indebted to Frank for many years of effort towards this Tour. Many cadets have benefited from his dedicated and enthusiastic support and guidance for which we are extremely grateful. Maj Nevil Topham, Oratory School CCF, has been appointed as his successor so we remain in good hands. The Commandant for 2014 will be Capt Charlie Cooper, 2 (NI) Bn ACF, and the Adjutant/Coach is to be confirmed. The cadet selection process will start early in the new year.

EXERCISE MAPLE TASTE TRAINING WEEKEND This training weekend took place at Bisley in March and was organised and co-ordinated by Maj (Rtd) Frank Harriss. We are extremely grateful to Frank who put together a quality team of national and international shooters and coaches to deliver an excellent programme of theory and practice to enhance shooting and coaching skills. The training is normally delivered for all three overseas teams. For the BCRT it provides excellent individual and team training; for the GBU19 team it provides final warm-up training immediately prior to their departure for South Africa; for the UKCRT it provides training for the final selection and team confirmation. HOSPITALITY TO VISITING TEAMS Liaison Officers. The Hon Organiser and co-ordinator of the hospitality programmes for visiting teams is Maj Phil Broom, ACF. The visiting teams this year were the Royal Canadian Army Cadet National Rifle Team (RCACNRT) and the South African Junior Rifle Team (SAJ). As usual, the Canadian’s programme was in three phases: Phase 1 cultural visits; Phase 2 shooting at Bisley; Phase 3 cultural visits. Maj Broom was the liaison officer for Phases 1 and 2 and Major Iain Robertson, Warwickshire & West Midlands (South) ACF was the liaison officer for Phase 3. Phase 1, Cultural Visits. The Team enjoyed a varied programme, including visits to: the Parachute Regiment Museum, the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards. During this phase the Team also enjoyed clay target shooting at Bisley. Phase 2, Shooting. The RCACNRT competed in the Inter-Service Cadet Rifle Meeting (ISCRM), the Schools Meeting and the target rifle matches of the NRA Imperial Meeting while the SAJ shot in the last two meetings. During the shooting phase, the Teams visited Stonehenge and attended a number of official functions. Phase 3, Cultural Visits. After shooting, the RCACNRT spent three nights at the St Martins Plain Camp from where the visits programme included: Dymchurch; Dover Castle; France (Beaumont Hamel and Vimy Ridge) and the Battle of Britain Museum, Hawkinge. After returning to Bisley Camp, the group visited Marwell Wildlife Park; Hillingdon Outdoor Adventure Centre, London and Thorpe Park. I am extremely grateful for the enthusiastic commitment from both liaison officers and Austin Rogers who drove the SAJ and in phase 3, in making the visits successful and enjoyable for the visiting teams. UK CADET TEAMS AT THE NRA IMPERIAL MEETING, BISLEY Organising Officer. The UK Cadet Teams at Bisley are selected and organised by Richard Benest of Victoria College CCF. Cadet Participation. Over 170 UK cadets competed in the Meeting, they conducted themselves very well and the performance in the team matches was of a very high standard. Team Matches. a. Inter-Services Short Range Match. A team of 12 firers shot 2ss and 10 to count at 500 and 600x.

The team did well coming third behind the TA and Regular Army, beating the RAF and the RCACNRT. b. Inter-Service Long Range Match. A team of 12 firers shot 2ss and 10 to count at 900 and 1000x.

The Athelings compete as a separate team shooting alongside so cannot be included in the UK Cadet team. The match was won by the TA and the UK Cadet team was 2nd, a great result!

c. A G Bell Trophy. This is the main match against the Canadian Cadets with a team of 12 firers shooting 2ss and 7 to count at 300, 500 and 600x. A fine performance from shooters and coaches gave the UK Cadet Team a victory by 14 points.

Report. Richard Benest’s detailed report and the leading results are published later in this Annual Report. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am extremely grateful to: the Chairmen and members of the sub-committees; the Commandants and officers of the Overseas Teams; the officers and other volunteers co-ordinating and running Ex Maple Taste; the staff providing expert coaching and support to the Athelings Pre-Selection weekend; the officers arranging and delivering the hospitality to visiting teams and co-ordinating and managing the UK Cadet Teams during the NRA Imperial Meeting; for their enthusiastic effort throughout a very busy year and for providing information for this report.

THE BRITISH CADET RIFLE TEAM THE ATHELINGS REPORT 2013

The success of any touring team relies primarily on the individuals involved. From the outset of this adventure I have been privileged to work with some of the most free-giving and caring professionals I have ever met in the Cadet movement. From the selection Committee that gathers in December, to the coaching team involved in Exercise Maple Taste, the Adult Instructors and Officers that work during the Imperial Meeting; all ably supported by CCRS and HQ Support Command – without everyone’s positive approach this team would not have been able to achieve the results on the range or leave the correct mannerly social impression that we continually strive for through the Cadet Movement. Above all the impression left by our youngsters will be remembered on this International stage for years to come. For me, it all started when the full list of applicants arrived in my In-Box. Hours then followed, sifting scores, reading comments, looking at individuals shooting history and trying to get an understanding of our potential team. Time flew by; selection was decided in December, snippets of Facebook chatter was overheard, a start was made to the tour brochure and then we were at Maple Taste – it was the end of March! Exercise Maple Taste is a vital part of the preparation of any Athelings team. The Cadets have a head start on the Officers, communicating with each other for some time through modern media and leaving the officers, not with the job of bonding a team together as some would believe, but, playing catch-up and getting to know the characters. The exceptionally cold weather and cutting winds during Maple Taste reduced our range time to under a day! More theory and dry training filled our time well but there can be no substitute for live firing and range time when it comes to enhancing the skills of a marksman and developing our coaches. I felt we never caught up this lost time. Our next meeting was during the schools week, where single service cadets visited the Dollar camp and also took benefit from Major Postle’s time and expertise. The result was a well prepared team for our first match – The Rex Goddard Stage 1. Some excellent teamwork and a fine performance set the tone for things to come. A clear 13 points separated the two teams. Brigadier Smales presented the medals to a delighted Athelings team on the Range as well as presenting at the schools prize giving. This was his last Bisley as Chairman of CCRS, his contribution to Cadet shooting has been huge, much like his personality, to be respected and enjoyed by both ends of the age spectrum is great testament to the man.

17

The Imperial Meeting allows the team members to compete for places in three International matches, the Inter Services Short Range, Long Range and AG Bell. These matches are reported elsewhere; the results show strong individual performances with significant potential. There was still to be, some time spent building our coaching team – we had more to offer. Any other spare time during the meeting was spent assisting Athelings that were not producing the results expected. Rifle issues were far too common, not really acceptable when you want to compete at this level. One just needs to look at the scores produced with the C12’s in Canada to get a better understanding. We assembled on Wednesday 31stJuly at Bisley to prepare for departure the following day. Canada was imminent! Time was spent weighing and re-weighing bags, marching, uniform adjustments and setting the standard for the weeks to come. Another day just seemed to disappear. When it came to booking through Heathrow; I don’t know where we would be without British Airways and Peter Turner. It was a breeze, the staff were friendly and thorough – much like our arrival at Montreal, but, without the assistance of a Liaison Officer, Montreal was a tad stressful. All difficulties soon drifted away when we arrived at Connaught. It was well after midnight when we were greeted by the CO and RSM – a warm friendly gesture and a sign of things to come. The following day we settled in, got to grips with our new surroundings, adjusted our body clocks and learned the Canadian system, everything from security to laundry, we covered it all. Connaught was now ‘home’, we were made welcome and felt very comfortable.

During the following eight days the team were treated to the finest Canadian hospitality and the opportunity to experience a vast country filled with kindness. This year our time was spent travelling with the NRT, many friendships were formed and the experiment was successful. The only downside was the missed opportunity of getting to know your team – not easy when the bus is packed and your hosts manage their time and troops in a different way to ourselves. It did allow some of our youngsters the opportunity to perform bus Karaoke – they stole the show and were in much demand. Between bus journeys we visited Ottawa; Parliament Buildings, Changing the Guard, the Science & Technology Museum, the Museum of Civilisation, IMAX, the shops and watched an outstanding Light Show on the side of Parliament Building telling the history of Canada. The Confidence Course followed by the Beach (including sandcastle, speedboat and wrestling competitions) Calypso Water Park, potted sports all preceded a visit to Toronto, the CN Tower, Ridley College, Niagara Falls and Jet Boating on the Niagara Rapids. A less adrenaline filled visit to Fort Henry completed our whistle stop tour of Canada before returning to Connaught to attend to the job for which we were sent.

The weekend saw the arrival of Major McLean and the preparations for the following week. Progress was slow, the Canadian Liaison Officer was greatly missed, thankfully the NRT helped where they could. They even went into the butts to mark our targets. Without their help I doubt if all of our team would have found a zero.

Monday 12th until Thursday 15thAugust is the Canadian Cadet Full Bore Matches (NCFC), with the Rex Goddard Stage II shot on the Thursday. During the week we had a number of Cadets in tie shoots. Ollie Rolfe lost his by one V Bull in the Pat Vamplew, some very high scores in the Gerry Oullette at 300yds saw Louis Stewart and Lindsey McKerrell involved in a tie shoot – 50.8! Both shot 25’s – LMcK’s 5 V bulls beats LS’s 3 while Jonathan James finishing 6th with 50.4. Seth Dowley in the Alain Marion lost his tie shoot by 4mm!! This week of shooting was of a very high standard with four Athelings finishing in the top five places of the Canadian Cadet Grand Aggregate. Ollie Rolfe was first and had the honour of being chaired into the prize giving. Yes, Thursday was a very good day. A solid team performance in the second stage of the Rex Goddard secured overall victory. It was the teams’ performance off the range that attracted the most attention, with the Deputy CO taking time out of his busy schedule to thank our Cadets for the high quality of their code and conduct and how, he believed, it had a positive effect on the Canadian Cadets.

20

Friday 16thAugust is the start of the DCRA meeting with the warm up matches. A couple of C12’s are held back to see if scores would improve and considerable time was spent analysing score books, recording accurate zeros and moving wind plates. Full on activity as everyone worked hard to catch Ollie. In the Macdougall Ollie, Rory Fagan and Seth led the way with 97.8 and 2 x 97.6. It was not all hard word as Saturday evening was spent in the “Mozi” tent meeting our fellow (adult) competitors. Here the Athelings socialised effortlessly and left a very positive impression on those they met. I received many comments and felt proud to be associated with such a well-rounded team.

Monday 19th - ‘Norman Beckett’ 300 & 800m and ‘The Col John C Brick’ 500 & 600yd

The team were out to perform. With an invitation to join the GB team in the evening for Pizza, no one wanted to turn up with a poor score. In the Norman Becket Billy Briggs led the way with 99.12 followed closely by the Commandant 99.10, Alwyn McLean 98.12, Rory 98.10, Alice Southall 98.11, Louis 98.10, Christopher Palmer-Makowski 98.9 and Ollie 98.4. In the Col JC Brick Seth lead with 99.9 closely followed by Tom Matthewson 98.9, Christopher 98.7 and Clare Mawson 98.6.

Tuesday 20th - ‘The Letson’ 300m, 500 & 600yd and ‘The Alexander of Tunis’ 900m

The Letson produced many distance possibles and it was Alice who led the way with 104.10 closely followed by Oskar Graziosi 104.9, Nathan Boyle 103.9, Seth 103.6. Jed Calcutt, Ben Etienne and Lindsey also went clean at 300x & 500x before dropping points at 600x. In the Alexander of Tunis Sam Sharma led with 49.7 from Oskar 49.5, Nathan, Michael Downes and Rory all on 49.3. Wednesday 21st - ’The President’s’ 300m, 500 & 600yd and ‘The Gibson’ 800m

The Presidents also produced 14 distance possibles, Alwyn lead with 150.18 followed by Alice 148.15 then in the Gibson 800m it was Alwyn again setting the pace with 50.5 followed by Peter Glen 49.6, the Commandant 49.5, Rory 49.4 and Lindsey 49.3 On Thursday - ‘The Gibson’ short ranges were cancelled due to heavy rain and the high risk of thunderstorms. We did some dry training and preparation for the Faraday.

21

The Faraday: Overall this was a very close match that we lost at 600 yds. It was difficult to keep moral high as the team did everything that was asked of them. Even a miss with a first sighter at 300 yards was dealt with in a controlled manner – the team drills and practice did pay off in that regard.

Friday the 23rd - ‘The Gatineau’ 900m and the Under 25 Short Range Match

In the Gatineau Louis led the way with 73.5 whilst most others struggled. The strength of this group can be measured in the way they approached the next match. Determined and professional they pushed their own individual scores at 900 to one side and focused on the Under 25 Short Range.

Alice and Alwyn were the only two in the Governor General’s final, with Major McLean finishing fourth only dropping three points. Alice recorded a very respectable 72.5 at 800m and a 64.1 at 900m, it was tricky!!

The shooting phase concluded with the prize giving, we left Connaught for Algonquin Park. This is superb location for an exhausted team to catch their breath and reflect on a job well done. Here our Liaison Officer really came up trumps with a great campsite, home powered outdoor movies on a bed sheet and a birthday cake for JJ!

Our last days in Canada felt very flat by comparison. Returning to an almost empty Connaught Camp is not fun. Having to pack up, hand back accommodation and re-weight luggage numerous times can only be described as tedious. Even Montreal was a bit of a disappointment – perhaps this can be put down to the desire to return home or perhaps the thought of the long journey and dealing with customs and all that is associated there. Either way the end of a fantastic and unforgettable tour can never be easy! It would be improper for this tour diary not to highlight the outstanding work of Captain Crockett and Major MacLean whose endless hours of effort, during our four week tour, and beforehand were greatly appreciated by everyone involved. It is most rewarding to have our hosts go out of their way to praise the officers of the Athelings and quote examples of how impressed they are with our Cadets; this happened on numerous occasions. When an RSM with a keen eye and numerous years service can only remember one shortcoming (a single cadet, on one day, marching to breakfast with ear buds in listening to music) you know you have had a great tour and left the correct impression A huge personal thanks to all involved.

CADETS AT THE NRA IMPERIAL MEETING BISLEY 2013

Commandant R.A. Benest (Victoria College)

After the persistent wet weather of the previous year making the range, equipment and everybody soggy; the sunny hot weather of this year’s meeting was very welcome. Those who to protected themselves with hats, umbrellas, sun cream and drank copious amounts of water, thrived and mostly performed well. There were those however who did not take into account the conditions and their performance rather fell away as the hot sunny weather continued. Fortunately, conditions for the matches were very good, not too hot with the wind readable. Inter-Services Long Range Selection was pretty straight forward. I appointed PJG Barber (Elizabeth College) Captain and A Strain (2nd (NI) BN ACF) Adjutant. Both carried out their duties very efficiently. Although adult coaches are allowed for this match I decided to use Cadets. Those chosen were Sgt Brankin-Frisby (Epsom) and WO2 Owen (Epsom); their skills had been noticed during the Schools Meeting. Both expressed surprise and admitted to a little nervousness regarding their selection. As the Athelings shoot as a team in this match the UK Cadets know that they are not the cream of the Cadet shooting world yet. Before the match I always make a point of saying to this team that maybe they could show the Athelings a thing or two. At 900 yards scores were 1x45, 2x46s, 3x47s, 2x48s and 4x49s; making a total of 570.72, Solid stuff. At 1000 yards scores were 1x41, 1x43, 2x44s, 3x46s 2x47s 2x48s and 1x49; making a total of 549.35 in much more difficult conditions, the wind bracket being up to approximately 5 minutes. The range score was less than at 900; however it was an excellent performance, particularly by the coaches. The match total, 1119.87, was enough to beat the Athelings by 10 points, which raised a few eyebrows and placed the UK Cadets in 2nd place behind the TA. Inter-Services Short Range After the announcement of the Long Range results and me congratulating the team for their excellent performance, the mass exodus to Century began. I brought up the rear picking up the usual assortment of shooting equipment. The Captain, CE Mawson (Gresham’s) and Adjutant ES Scougall (Dollar Academy) were already organising the troops when I arrived to distribute the various kit picked up at Stickledown. All three coaches were Athelings, LWHR Stewart, W Briggs and OJ Rolfe, giving them an opportunity for some match experience. Of the 12 firers, 5 were Athelings. Conditions for the match were fairly straightforward; coaches mostly just had to centre groups. 3 possibles were achieved at 300 yards and 2 at 600 yards. SDK Mansley (RGS Guildford) deserves special mention as he scored 100.19 converting his bull 5 sighter at 600 yards. Scores were, 1x93, 3x95s, 1x96, 2x97s, 1x98, 3x 99s and 1x100. The 300 yard range total was 578.61, 600 yard 585.77 giving a match total of 1163.138; good enough for 3rd place. AG Bell This match is fired at the same time as the National, the course of fire being a Queens 1. Having done an excellent job in the Inter-Services Short Range match, CE Mawson (Gresham’s) was again appointed Captain. A Strain (2nd (NI) BN ACF) became adjutant again after doing so well in the Long Range match. The coaches were the same as for the Inter-Services Short Range, JWHR Stewart (Dollar Academy), W Briggs (Norfolk ACF) and OJ Rolfe (Wellington). Once again the conditions were very pleasant, with the wind pretty steady. A high score was expected. At 300 yards scores were 1x29, Alice Southall shot on the wrong target, which I’m sure she won’t do again, however she didn’t let it upset her as she scored a V bull with the next shot. 1x32, 5x33s, 3x34s and 2x35s making a range of 398.41. At 500 yards scores were 1x31, 3x32s 1x33, 3x34s and 4x35s making a range score of 402.40. At 600 yards scores were 1x32, 4x33s, 5x34s and 2x35s making a range score of 404.44 and a match total of 1204.125. This gave victory over the Canadians Cadets by 14 points and 34 V bulls. This was 4 points less than last year but with 8 V bulls more. The dinner in the evening was back in the HAC and was great fun. Being able to have a little time to converse with our Canadian and South African friends without rushing off was welcome. Summary The ammunition supplied by RUAG was very good once again. Strength in depth is very evident showing the excellent work done by the shooting coaches in the Schools and Cadet Units. Shooting skills are generally good. Score book use is still varied. The plot sheets from the matches show the usual range of skills. I believe that there is a lot to be gained by spending more time showing the Cadets how proper scorebook use can improve scores. Wayward sighting shots were fewer this year. Team match procedures are interesting, as knowledge of what is expected is mixed. The Captains and Adjutants showed great resourcefulness and tact to get some team members in the correct place and doing more or less what they should be doing. The standard of coaching was good, particularly those in the UK Cadets Inter-Services Long Range team. Being Bisley Commandant is great fun. The Cadets of course enable one to experience a roller coaster of emotions; the adults who help in a multitude of ways never fail to amaze me. Julia Adamson again gave her

emotions; the adults who help in a multitude of ways never fail to amaze me. Julia Adamson again gave her time and expertise to help at the matches. Simon Fraser and Gina Ansell at Derby Lodge seem to have the answer to everything and sometimes without me asking the questions. Being provided with things I didn’t know I had forgotten is very reassuring.

SOUTH AFRICAN JUNIOR RIFLE TEAM The 2013 SA Junior Rifle Team of eight youngsters with Dana Fourie as their Commandant assisted by his wife Antoinette and Mrs Elna Brand came to Bisley to shoot the Schools’ and the Imperial Meetings. They arrived on 4th July and based themselves at Bisley from where they went on daily excursions including Portsmouth, the theatre/cinema in Woking and London. Shooting alongside in the School Meeting, because they were using their own rifles not the CTR, they gained valuable practice ahead of the Imperial Meeting. Lammie Brand, their captain, and Charles Venter were on their second visit to the UK with the rest experiencing Bisley for the first time. We thank all those who helped look after them especially Austin Rogers who was their driver. During the Imperial there were several good results, Dana Fourie finished 85th in the St George’s final and 206th in the Grand, Benjamin Hendrikz was 203rd in the Grand and on ten prize lists, Lammie Brand was 425th in the Grand and on two prize lists, Jaco De Kock was 458th in the Grand and on six prize lists, Janus Fourie was 771st in the Grand and on three prize lists, and in the Grand Dehan Nel was 650th, Reece Leite 661st, Charles Venter 666th and Enrico Diederichs 680th. In the International matches they shot well but could not quite snatch victory. Many congratulations to Dana and the whole Team. All too soon the tour was over and they departed from Bisley on 21st July. They enjoyed themselves, were great ambassadors for their country and we much look forward to renewing our rivalry in South Africa in 2014 and then welcoming their successors and those still eligible back to Bisley in 2015.

After supper all of the teams (GB U19, BCRT and UKCRT) met at Derby Lodge for a Range brief, an introduction to the weekend and a few lectures from some of the expert coaches. .Friday 22nd March - The GB Team woke at 07:00am and went to breakfast. At 07:45 we all collected our rifles from the CCRS armoury and set off to the 300x point. We started off individually and after achieving some good scores, we went straight into our first team match practice with Clare and George selected as the two wind coaches. After the shoot we discussed how the shoot had gone and what good points and bad points could be picked up on. We realised after checking the wind zeroes that Jed’s wind was out by miles so he had to go to the armourer and get the sights fixed over the lunch period. We chatted with the other teams over lunch, but as soon as lunch had finished we were back in the mentality of ‘TEAM’. Kevin took Jed to the zero range to check his rifle and get the sights zeroed. Clare and George had a quick shoot before Jed arrived back on Century and we were all ready to start our next team shoot. The coaches and first firers got onto the firing point to get accustomed to the wind then the rain started as drizzle but the GB team refused to cow tow and our first round went down. A few minutes later Bisley range hit Monsoon season and it poured down like none of us had ever seen before. After a battle through the rain we had some upset faces but we just got on with it and Simon told us that it was the best team practice we had ever done. Throughout the rest of the day we dried our kit. Saturday 23rd March - We awoke with extreme excitement hoping to shoot in the snow. Unfortunately the targets could not be seen so, to our utmost disappointment, we had to carry out dry firing to get our team drills totally slick ready for South Africa. As the day went by we relaxed and got our admin sorted. While George, Jed, Freya, Nathan and Steph took a trip into Guildford for a last minute shopping, Sam and Clare went onto the Scat trainer to verify their shooting position and to test their skills. Meanwhile Cesca and Tom decided to get a heads start on the packing. We all got changed into our number one dress for supper in the ATSC Clubhouse before more lectures in Derby Lodge rounded off the day. Sunday 24th March - Today started with quite a bit of excitement, as we all knew it was getting so close to the time of our flight for South Africa. We arrived at Heathrow quite early and got to our terminal to check in our luggage and the rifles which went relatively seamlessly. Eventually we boarded the flight and some got changed out of No.1 uniform. The flight took off, it would be 09.45 local time next morning when we would get off the plane at Johannesburg. Monday 25th March - Arriving at Johannesburg airport at 10:15 we cleared through passport control and met our escorts Deon and Janette Burger and got all of our rifles cleared. Unfortunately Virgin had lost the box with scope poles and stands so arrangements had to be made for them to deliver it to the Burger’s. We loaded the trailers with the rifles and our bags and drove along the motorway to the Burgers house where we had a warm welcome before, as most of the team was absolutely starving not having eaten since breakfast on the plane, going to a Spurs flame grilled steak house. A few of the lads ordered the 500g steak which were extremely filling but Nathan insisted he could eat another one so he got a massive desert just to top it off. After the steak we drove to Rietvlei Game Reserve and moved into our accommodation in Chalets. We all changed out of our No.1s and then with Deon as guide we went on a Game Drive that was extremely thrilling for everyone as we saw a large number of animals including ‘Rachel and Rufus’ a Rhino with its baby and also ‘Zoe and Zach’ the Zebra. By the time we finished it was pitch black and it had started to rain with thunder and lightning. Deon went home and we drove to the Irene mall and went ‘swimming’ such was the

33

torrent of rain. Freya and Cesca took their shoes off and ran through the river of water blocking the entrance to the luxurious restaurant. The lads had another steak and some tried Ostrich for the first time. On return to camp everyone was exhausted so we just went straight to sleep.

Tuesday 26th March - We got up and ate breakfast inside Chalet 13. It was delicious, the choice was between toast and jam and cereal. After breakfast we were on the road by 08:00am to get to the Canopy Tour. We were briefed by Mite and Godfrey two of the tour guides then split into two groups. Cesca and Freya were petrified of heights but just got on with it and after ten slides of terror we all wanted to start again as it was the best experience ever with the guides adding greatly to the fun. After lunch we went to the Chameleon market at Hartbeespoort and got a bit too involved with the haggling with the natives. Steph managed to be convinced into buying a rock whilst the shopkeepers favoured Jed because he was constantly talking to them. After the market we went to the Lesedi Cultural Village and took part in a village tour and also a dance and a sing along in the Native tradition. This was followed by a native meal which was quite nice. Wednesday 27th March - Another early morning, as we needed to be onto the road to collect the rifles and move south to Potchefstroom. The journey would take two and a half hour so we stopped at a mall to stock up with food and drinks. Arriving at Cedric van de Vyver’s house, everyone made themselves at home, some sitting by the bar playing chess others just relaxing before we went for lunch at Primi-Patti. A few of us were trying to connect up to the Wi-Fi but it was a bit of a struggle. After the meal we went into the mall to pick up some items for the days ahead then travelled the small distance to the Manzini Game Farm were we staying for the next few days. We settled into the accommodation, met the owners of the farm, Nick and Sonja. Some of us went swimming and then bottle fed and petted some young wild orphaned animals. At around 7pm we had steak and sausage cooked on the braai and socialized over a game of cards before turning in. Thursday 28th March - Breakfast was at 07:15 and we all ate outside Kev’s hut. We walked out of camp to shoot clays with a pump action shot gun then were given the opportunity to shot a 9mm pistol, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed! We then went to the mall to shop before meeting up with Cedric and Bets to go for lunch at the Ocean Basket where the lads again had more steak! After lunch we went to the Frontier Bullet factory which mesmerized everyone seeing how bullets were made for different countries such as Norway and Finland. Next we went to the Kohra lion breeding farm and everyone got to pet the cheetahs’ and see the lions. Unfortunately there were no baby lion cubs to pick up and cuddle but we all had so much fun and watched the lions feed on a horse that had been killed earlier on that day. Then we listened to the lions roar before we had supper, borworst, chop and more steak, which was absolutely delicious! Back at Manzini we just sat and talked for a while, and Jed and Tom went for a night time swim before we all headed to bed.

Friday 29th March - It was an extremely hot morning but we had to get used to the sun. The team building activities started with a few trust exercises then we were blindfolded and taken to an unknown area on the farm. The task was a treasure hunt on which we found various items along the route such as droppings, skeletons, reeds and also a special rock! By the end of the task some of us were sun burnt but after a snack lunch we happily went for an extremely refreshing swim. We met up again with Nick and Sonja at 13:00 for the next exercise which was to negotiate a minefield where we had to work in pairs, one guiding our blindfolded partner through the obstacles. The winners were Tom and Sam, who achieved the best score only scoring seven penalty points. Next there was the team sack race where Cesca and Steph completely dominated the boys, followed by an individual sack race which George won. An egg and spoon race followed and finally an egg throw challenge to see who could throw the egg to their partner the furthest distance without it cracking. Nathan and Tom won with Jed and Steph second and Sam and Clare third. When Cesca broke her egg she managed to fry it on her arm with her raging sun burn! Everyone went back to the pool for a swim until heading to Cedric’s house for a meal which was delicious! We then returned to the farm and sat talking for a while before heading off to bed to prepare for an extremely early start in the morning. Saturday 30th March - We rose with the sun so that we could fit in our action packed day of white water rafting! This was an experience that not many of us had had before, so there were some nerves amongst the team. We took Cedric and Bets with us and stopped for breakfast at the Plumtree restaurant where Jed and George had steak yet again! Then prepared for the day we went to the water rafting start point where we were briefed and told not to worry just ‘smile and wave’ if you fall out in the rapids!. Boarding our canoes we set off into the unknown in our pairs. After a few gentle warm up rapids we came across the largest rapid on the course known as the Big Daddy. Tom and Clare appeared to get stuck on every rock possible whilst Cesca and Steph just took the reversing down the rapids approach! After a long gentle canoe through nature we came to our pit stop for lunch where we were threatened with rain. Thankfully as we set off for round two the rain stopped. In about 10 seconds we had various titanic incidents with Clare, Tom, Cesca and Steph getting stuck on rocks. Cesca and Steph couldn’t extricate themselves as they could not stop laughing. Eventually free we encountered a long run of good sized rapids at the last of which George and Sam overturned. But topping off the day was the sight of Simon dunking head first into the river and drifting downstream then, whilst attempting to get aboard the canoe, he capsized again! Returning to the vehicles we changed and headed to the mall for brief shopping and then dinner at the Spur with more steak and some tactical napping! No wonder after our action packed day! Sunday 31st March - It was Easter Sunday and we were allowed a lie in so got up at 08:00 and met up by Kev’s hut where Simon explained that the Easter bunny had been and had left all of us chocolate presents so we went on an Easter egg hunt around the area of our camp collecting all the chocolate we could find. Everyone then relaxed by the pool and had a picnic lunch.

35

At about 15:00 we met up with Simon and Nick and went on a really enthusiastic game drive in an amazing vehicle, spotting Zebra, Ostriches, Waterbuck. Springboks, Impala, Wildebeasts, Blesbuck, Red Hartebeest, Eland, Gemsbok, a squirrel and more, plus a variety of birds. During the drive Nick jumped out of the vehicle and introduced a sport that the South Africans play in the field; poo spitting, so George, Nathan and Tom all put poo inside of their mouths and saw who could spit it the furthest. George was declared the winner! This was extremely hilarious. Returning from the game drive we sat and chilled for a while then had a final delicious Braai which Sonja and Nick prepared and cooked for us before retiring to bed. Monday 1st April - Another early morning as we had load the vehicles, say our fond farewells to Nick and Sonia, collect the rifle trailer from Cedric and then travelled to Bloemfontein. About three hours into the journey, once all our tuneful singing had stopped, we found a Steers Diner where we had a brief lunch before travelling onwards to see the accommodation and the ranges where we would be spending the next 13 days. When at last the bus stopped, having forgotten the briefing we had received, there was a communal ‘there must have been a terrible mistake’ thought going through everyone’s minds, and this was evident on the horrified faces of most of the team. We settled in to our very basic accommodation, unpacked the rifles and sorted all our personal kit out as we would start shooting early the next day. We went to a Primi for supper. After our day travelling everyone was tired so we returned to camp to hit the sack. Tuesday 2nd April - The morning was extremely hot for our first time firing at 300m, the start of the pairs shoot! Some of the team despite having been warned were firing in shorts and got quite burnt. We had three more distances to fire by the end of which we were all extremely tired. By the end of the day there was light but still no power and no hot water so Simon took the girls for a shower at Peter Bramley’s farm. The caterers provided our evening meal under candlelight and we retired to bed. Wednesday 3rd April - We all went across to breakfast in the baking heat before deploying to the range for our next four shoots. Everyone was struggling with the wind, as it fish tailed so rapidly at all of the distances until everybody wondered whether they would ever master it. The mood was made a lot lighter however when Freya actually believed that Tom’s pre-shoot ritual was to cover his arms with hair styling mousse and ‘style his arm hair’. Cleary sun cream in mousse form is a rarity in Cambridge. After shooting we attended a prize giving ceremony in which Nathan and Steph won the pair competition. Tom won the under nineteen’s aggregate and Claire won the most medals. After cleaning rifles we went into Bloem to the Gray’s school for a shower and supper and then returned to camp and fell exhausted straight into bed. Thursday 4th April - We awoke to perfect blue sky and bright sun rising over the ranges, and knew we were going to be cooked. We fired the Southern International Challenge Individual matches at four ranges which took us from bagpipes at 8 o’clock at the start of the Scottish Sword, concurrent with the 300 and 900m, to the last 900m shoot at five o’clock. Again the wind was impossible and several members of the team came off the point very confused. Inadequate intake of water was rectified and the need to apply sunscreen reinforced. At the end of the day we returned to Gray’s for supper and a shower although generators had now been provided to produce power and hot water in camp even if only running for a limited period. Friday 5th April - Today was the Southern International Challenge Team Match between GB U19 and the South African Juniors (SA J). We made a strong start to the morning, leading by 11 points after the 300m shoot, but the South Africans regained the initiative and, having pulled back 3 at the 600m and gone 1 ahead by the end of the 800m stage, we entered the final distance. Tricky wind made the shooting difficult, but after a tense 900m shoot GB U19 using RG ammunition, had managed to win by two points, with both teams on an

36

equal v-bull count. We took photos on the firing point with the SA J then returned to camp to change into No.1s go into Bloem to attended the prize giving and function that concluded the Southern International Challenge and celebrate our hard-fought win. Saturday 6th April - Despite winning the Southern International Challenge, we refused to rest on our laurels and spend Saturday practicing our team shooting alongside the Hamilton and Rhodes competitions. The day was uneventful, but scores steadily improved as shooters and coaches got more practice in the conditions and tightened up their drills. We shot at all five distances, with short-range practice in the morning and long-range after lunch. In the evening we went to the New York Restaurant for our official Team Party to thank S African friends and had an excellent meal. At the end we presented General Mac Alexander, the Chief Range Officer, Deon Burger and Margaret with team glass mementoes. Sunday 7th April - One of the few things that South Africa has in common with North Wales is that nothing seems to happen on a Sunday. For us, this included shooting, and so the team took advantage of the opportunity for some R&R and went to Maselspoort, a resort out of town, to relax. Tom was crowned GB U19 crazy-golf champion, and we all went for an English-style Sunday lunch, with a chance to play in the water slides afterwards. That evening, we were invited to a braai with the SA Juniors and some of the SABU organisers, at which we ate an entire spit-roasted sheep. Monday 8th April - We shot individual shoots in the morning at 300, 500 and 600 metres, before practicing as a team after lunch alongside the Dewar Cup. The morning was mostly calm and scores were good, but the wind picked up severely in the afternoon. The dry conditions over the previous few days meant that this kicked up clouds of dust over the firing point. Scores understandably deteriorated sharply, but this gave us good opportunity to practice working in tricky conditions and with high winds, reaching nine minutes of deflection at 600m. After the day’s shooting someone was in a big rush and drove over a water pipe outside an ablutions block, knocking off the valve, creating a cartoon style geyser effect. Tom, Jed, Nathan and George did what bored nutcases do, and went and frolicked in the water. After this, we were invited to a gathering of the English and US teams at the English hotel, which involved copious amounts of free barbecue food and drink. Tuesday 9th April - Morale started out exceptionally low today as following the fountain of water from the broken standpipe, there was now not even cold water. We went out to shoot a full five distances in the day. Morning scores were reasonably good, with Jed scoring a HPS at 600m, however the wind went from almost still to fairly forceful throughout the day, leading to some less impressive scores later on. Jed beat half of the English team and everyone beat all the Welsh team. After shooting, we enjoyed a hot shower before going to Grey’s College for our evening meal. The maintenance team appeared to have worked quickly and spirits were reasonably high after that.

Wednesday 10th April - Today was the Junior RSA International Long Range match against the SA junior team. It entailed a two distance 2 and 15 team shoot, one at 800m and one at 900m. We used RUAG ammunition for this match. Scores were very close in the end, and the result was in doubt as mistakes were made at some point in the process of adding up the scores. Going from winning, to losing, to winning was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride for the team, but, even with three misses, we were in the end victorious. Thursday 11th April - We started off with 2 and 10’s at 300, 600, 800m, then in the afternoon we shot 900m. In the evening we had the SABU Protea function, and the announcement of teams, which was a good evening. After some persuasion George, deputising for the Captain, agreed to do the speech for the team and thanked all the relevant people.

37

Friday 12th April - The State Presidents Stage 2 was this morning and we hoped not to drop too many points so we could get into the Third and final stage but only Sam made it through. After shooting had finished we went to the Cheetah Experience where the team was shown around by a volunteer named Clare who was from Scotland. This was an extremely pleasant experience but to top it off we went across to the Shawu Lodge where the Irish National Team were staying and had a braai with them. The refreshments were plentiful and soon, like General Mac before them, Tom and Jed found themselves singing from the Irish songbook; the favourites being Molly Malone and the Irish Rover.

Saturday 13th April - Today we shot the Junior Protea Match. The Commandant decided to move Nathan into the coach’s chair and have Clare fire. At all distances, using RUAG again, we increased our lead over the South African Juniors, despite the fact that they were using hand loaded ammunition. We had problems with sights turned the wrong way, and Jed being given a miss to count at 900m. The wind was next to impossible however using all the experience of George and newly appointed coach Nathan we kept our lead. We eventually won by fifteen points clinched our third win over the SA juniors. Once shooting was complete we handed over team commemorative glasses to our opposite numbers and had photographs taken. Then we rushed back into camp for lunch and to get Sam out on to the range for the State President’s final. Whilst he shot the 800m we cleaned rifles and started packing and clearing up. We then went out to the range to support Sam on the 900m and for the conclusion of shooting. The Range Officers’ were presented with GB U19 glasses and thanked for their efforts. Once the final results were declared and the winner chaired off we rushed to shower, change and get to prize giving. The day finished with the now traditional braai with the SA J in camp. Sunday 14th April - We woke up to finish packing and clearing up ready to leave Bloemfontein Ranges for the very long journey back to Johannesburg. We stopped for brunch at Kroonstad then returned to the Burger’s house to relax and change before going to the airport for our journey home. Having checked in our luggage and the rifles we only had a few minutes to shop, eat and get the officers some presents from the team before boarding the plane. We had a 10 hours 40 minutes long plane journey ahead of us which was spent watching films, listening to music and finishing the diary. Monday 15th April - Having landed and recovered our baggage, the bus was located and we returned to Bisley to sort out our possessions and the rifles before departing home. The tour had been a success, we had won all three matches and had fun on the pre-shooting phase. It was a great pity that the S African infrastructure, had caused so many problems on camp at the ranges but we acknowledge the efforts of SABU and its representatives to try and resolve them. We thank all those who in every way made our tour possible and enabled our success.

UK CADET RIFLE TEAM – TOUR OF JERSEY 2013 Commandant: Maj Nevil Topham The Oratory School CCF Adjutant / Coach: Capt Charlie Cooper 2 (NI) Bn ACF Lady Officer Capt Verna Burrell -Taylor Charterhouse School CCF Shooters: Sgt Arman Aryaeipour Humberside & South Yorkshire ACF LCpl Thomas Brankin-Frisby Epsom College CCF Sgt Michael Bumford Pates’s Grammar School CCF LCpl Bethany Charlton Northumbria ACF Cdt Seth Cox Tonbridge School CCF Cdt Bryony Fraser-Burn Gresham’s School CCF CSjt Taylor Mason Durham ACF Cpl Joshua Minien Reading School CCF Sjt Laura Scull Somerset ACF Sgt Alexandra Strain 2 (NI) Bn ACF Cdt Seb Treacy Framlingham College CCF Sgt Connor Truman Nottinghamshire ACF Day 1, Saturday 17th August We awoke to darkness at 4am, donned our stylish new hats, put our luggage in the trailer and set off for Poole at 5am. The bus was silent, as most of us were catching up on our stolen beauty sleep. After our smooth ride down the M3, we arrived at almost 7am, ready to board the ferry. We boarded the vessel, found our seats, settled down, and it was here that we learned that Tom Brankin-Frisby could fall asleep just about anywhere despite the noise and rowdy children. Arman Aryaeipour, (Aye-Aye) soon felt the effects of the sea, and under advice from a crew member, laid down on the floor, where he felt much better. Others of us were more adventurous, exploring the upper deck, where some funky hairstyles occurred. Feeling the bite of the English Channel’s wind, we returned to our seats, looking rather windswept. Dismounting from the gangplank, we saw the ‘Welcome to Jersey’ sign, with a picture of a Jersey Cow, which confused Mike Bumford terribly, despite his farming background. Arriving at the TA centre, we were shown to our accommodation and settled in nicely, before sorting out our rifles to put in the JRA armoury. After storing our rifles, we made a quick stop at the beach, where Alex Strain got dunked! Grabbing some fish and chips, the team noticed the special talent in Taylor Mason aka The Gull Whisperer, who avidly fed the circling gulls, nearly losing a finger in the process! On returning to the base, we all turned in early for the night after a very long day. Day 2, Sunday 18th August Sunday was supposed to be our day of rest, with the staff promising us a nice lie-in; however it was decided on Saturday that we would have a practice shoot the following morning, thus our alarms were set. We had breakfast on the range, before setting up to shoot away the Imperial cobwebs. We worked in details, alternating between shooting and butt marking, so appreciating the Jersey pulley system, which was seamless, leading to some rapid marking by Seth Cox, Mike, Tom and Taylor. Upon finishing, we made ourselves some sandwiches before hitting the beach. Those of us brave enough to face the cold went for a nice swim, as Connor Truman eyed up the banana boats. It was decided by all of us that this would be a fun idea, and so it turned out.

40

Meanwhile, Major Topham set about perfecting his Daniel Craig beach impression, strutting his stuff with the grace of Halle Berry and the stride of 007 himself. Deciding enough seawater had been swallowed, the team headed back to camp where we set about preparing a barbecue and taking much-needed showers. After dinner we made full use of the lounge, playing some pool and watching TV. The day drew to a climatic close, as Bryony Fraser-Burn somehow set off the armoury alarm on base by turning on the light switch. Day 3, Monday 19th August The day began with a much needed lie-in, before eating breakfast and preparing packed meals under the watchful eye of Captain Burrell-Taylor at the base before getting ready for the day ahead. The Gerald Durrell Zoo was the plan for the morning, where we saw some very interesting animals such as Gorillas and Andean Bears. Seth’s favourite were the hogs! After the zoo we made our first visit into the town centre of St Helier. We had not been off the bus for ten minutes before Josh Minien, our team counter, figured out that Seb Treacy was no longer with us. A hunt ensued. But not to worry, we soon found him wandering aimlessly, easy to spot in our team polo shirt and hat. Alex and Beth Charlton went to see ‘The Heat’ at the cinema, which we were later told, was a definite must-see. On returning to the base, we had some time to relax and mentally prepare ourselves for the epic bowling battle that would take place in the evening between the UKCRT CCF, UKCRT ACF and the Jersey team. The competition was fierce, with Taylor, the professional, murdering the pins and ending up with a tidy 173. Mike still hadn’t found his ‘game’, but improved dramatically to close the gap between the two rivalling UK teams. The end result was nail-bitingly close, but the ACF team stole the victory with a score of 475. Before returning to base, we ate at the bowling centre with some of the Jersey team whilst some of us sneakily glanced at the football match projected on the wall. Exhausted from our busy day, we spent only a short while watching a bit of TV and playing some pool before going to bed. Day 4, Tuesday 20th August We rose early, heading off to explore some of the old World War 2 tunnels. We visited the network of tunnels which were built to be a hospital but fortunately were never used for their main purpose, and have been turned into a museum which has become a prime tourist attraction. Throughout the museum there were many interesting articles to read, illustrated by many old photos from the time. Times were seen to have been tough back then with many people suffering under the German oppression. Upon leaving the museum we all felt very enlightened. After the hospital we made our way to a surviving cliff side battery, and a team photo with us all sitting astride the gun. Tom had issues dismounting. From there we headed to another museum, based in a beachfront fortification, which was also very interesting. .

41

Next stop was the beach. The tide had fully retreated, meaning a long walk to the water, and some very sea weedy water, which Seth revelled in, wrapping himself in it. Moving back up the beach, Arman started bathing in the shallow water further up the beach, later deciding to dig a hole which we all wallowed in as a team Jacuzzi. After the beach, we headed back to base to freshen up ready for the opening of the JRA Open Championship. It would be our first outing in full team regalia, an exciting moment! Before we left, we had our team photo in front of the TA centre. The evening was interesting, meeting many of the individuals we would come to be well acquainted with over the meeting. After a good couple of hours of chit-chat and small talk, we headed home for the night Day 5, Wednesday 21st August Waking up early to reach the first morning detail, we were all a little weary eyed. However, thanks to our practise shooting earlier in the week, the cobwebs had been cleared and we had a good day of shooting, finishing the day with a very respectable nine possibles from the team. Alex was the star of today, scoring three. Finishing by five o’clock, the team returned to base where we had a period of well-deserved rest and recuperation before a full on BBQ and further time to socialise. Day 6, Thursday 22nd August With the younger members of our team all very nervous for exam results, we set off for the ranges. Thankfully, upon receiving their results everyone was happy, so now we could focus on the shooting, and getting some good scores. At 500 yards Seth scored his first ever possible, a 50.4 in the Mourant. It just so happened that the W.T Marret, which is a junior competition, is concurrent so Seth was shocked to find that he had won it! Upon returning to base, we had a quick turn around, heading back out to a Chinese restaurant, which was Laura Scull’s first Chinese experience! Most people struggled with the use of chopsticks, except for Major Topham, who was rather adept at using them. Desserts came, and Josh upset Captain Cooper by taking the wrong flavoured ice cream and devouring it before anything could be said. Day 7, Friday 23rd August We were woken at five o’clock, as the first detail was at seven at 900 yards on Les Landes range. This was our first opportunity to shoot long range. Mike, who is not usually a morning person by a long way, shocked all by coming off 900 yards with a cracking 75.13, which, to his dismay, was piped by a 75.14, but he was still very happy with his 2nd place in the Sirret Bowl. Seb came 7th in the Sirret, beaten by Mike by 1 V-bull. After our long range shoots we had to do some work in the butts, which were curious contraptions made from telegraph poles. We split up to man the targets, and some very competitive butt-marking ensued, ending, to our delight, in us all receiving compliments. After lunch it was back to Crabbe for 200 yards, which was a big contrast. Finishing fairly early, we headed out for fish and chips again, taking them up to Corbier to sit on top of one of the old German bunkers, watching the sun go down. Day 8, Saturday 24th August Today was the last day of the Jersey Grand Aggregate, with three final long shoots at short range. Feeling a little tired, and with the wind deciding to pick up, the team had a quiet day of shooting, culminating in a well enjoyed prize-giving, where Seth and Seb received their respective trophies. A delicious BBQ with the competitors at the clubhouse followed. Then we returned to the TA centre to relax and play pool while the officers analysed our individual scores that had been recorded by Captain Burrell-Taylor, and studied our plotting cards to deliberate on the Team selection for the following day’s match. The selection was done; some where call to the drill hall for a chat; after some time the gray smoke came out of the drill hall and we were call down to be given the good or bad news then we played some more pool before bed.

42

Day 9, Sunday 25th August The team shoot for the Cheshire Cup took place in the morning, and with Seb as captain, we organised ourselves at 300yds ready to shoot. The scores started well, with Alex coming off the point with an impressive 50.5. However, after a nail biting 600yds, the Jersey U19 team just managed to seal a victory for the first time, thanks to a 150.18 from Fabien Amy, one of their best shooters. The presentation of medals and trophies followed, after which the two teams came together for a final photo before we left the range for good. The afternoon was spent at the cinema, before we, once again suited and booted, made our way to a restaurant beside the beach.

Day 10, Monday 26th August The day began with another much needed lie-in before eating breakfast at the base. Packed meals made before we went into town to buy last minute presents for home, followed by our last visit to the beach. Back at base we were all given jobs to do before we handed over our accommodation and set off to the ferry for 7pm. On arriving at the ferry we discovered a four hour delay, it made little difference to us, we would arrive back at Bisley have breakfast and depart for home, but our poor staff had to drive in the dead of night. Captain Cooper scraped the last of the budget together and provided a bite to eat and another visit to the cinema for the team while The Major sat with the rifles. The journey was un-eventful, we slept on the ferry and the bus only to be woken by the first speed bump in Bisley. On arrival we were met by Colonel Cox in time to hand in the rifles, unpack, have breakfast and depart for home. The team extend their thanks to our staff, Captain Cooper (The Budget man) Captain Burrell-Taylor (STATS) Major Topham (The Boss) and to all who made our tour possible.

“COUNTRY LIFE” SMALL-BORE RIFLE COMPETITION 2013

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR DOLLAR ACADEMY IN CLASS A, WITH STAMFORD SCHOOL RETURNING AS VICTORS IN CLASS B

Well done to Dollar Academy CCF who won Class A (for units using match sights) easily, with a score a few points below their last year’s winning score. Their performance in the Landscape was very strong and well ahead of the field. RGS Guildford CCF were runners-up and congratulations to their 2nd team who won the Gordon Winter trophy for the best second team. A Coy, Devon ACF, a newcomer to the scene, are to be congratulated on being the top Open Unit. The number of teams submitting targets in Class A was virtually unchanged at 25. Class B is for units, using ‘sights as issued’ and here the number of teams submitting targets was up to 121 from 87 last year, a most encouraging rise. It is of concern to note, however, that there were no SCC teams. Stamford School CCF returned to victory this year with a very strong score and their 2nd team won the Gordon Winter Salver. The combined score of the two Stamford teams would have brought them 4th in Class A – would they have won it using match sights? 730 (City of Truro) ATC came second once again with a commendably steady shoot, narrowly beating Dean Close School CCF’s second team and Fettes College CCF. The top Open Unit team not in the first three was 7 Overseas (Jersey) Sqn ATC. Many units seemed to have difficulty picking their 2nd teams this year and on several occasions they beat the first team! Lancing College CCF, Charterhouse CCF and Stamford School CCF 1st team are to be congratulated on gaining full points in Series 1 for grouping but this is fewer than ever. The grouping practice continues to let a lot of teams down, with some shooters getting a better group on their first rapid diagram. Rapid shooting suffers (especially in Class B) from the MPI not being near the centre of the diagrams. While lateral adjustment of sights is difficult in Class B, team members should be trained to adjust vertically, as many shots grouped either above or below the black diagrams. Snap shooting was the best series, once again. Have the cadets lost some of their nerves by this time? Efforts were made once again to make the Landscape target more accessible and these seemed to have succeeded. The easiest targets were the two buildings top left and middle right and many units had no trouble with these. Many shots found the end of the small jetty at centre left, but there were fewer ways of identifying the riverside target at centre right. Careful use of other reference points was needed here. Congratulations to all team leaders on their difficult task. As usual at the end is admin. There are still units, some at the top of their classes, returning targets without the number of shots fired indicated. (Some had lane numbers, which was confusing). Please point out to your supervising officer that he is signing to say he has done this. It is shots fired that is wanted, please, not ‘hits’. Without this evidence (and the evidence from backing targets for the snap), some units were not awarded points that they possibly should have gained. No scores were filled in this year, thank you, and almost all range lengths were completed. Please note that, if this is not done, scoring may have to assume that the range is 20 yards, where the scoring rings are closer. Other annoyances are: • First and second team targets in the same envelope, not clearly separated or targets generally jumbled. Please use paper clips and it would be wonderful if the order of the targets was the same as that on the team sheet! It is easier if the targets are grouped by series, rather than competitor, please. • The backers supplied separately from the snap targets! • Names on the back only, or just laconic initials. The rules do ask for unit, rank, name and initials and on the front please. • The name of the unit not given in full on the team sheet. Many teams and supervising officers got everything right and I am grateful to them and to all the supervising officers for their time and effort in running this competition. Cards certainly arrived in good time (and only one tube!) I hope all cadets enjoyed the competition. That is the main reason for running it. Frank Harriss

CCRS NON-CENTRAL COMMONWEALTH MATCHES

The Commonwealth non-central matches disappointingly still attracted fairly poor support in the 2012/2013 season. There continues to be only a limited entry from outside the United Kingdom, not withstanding those from Canada and New Zealand. The proportion of all teams that enter and then fail to shoot or return their scores / cards remains high. You are most strongly encouraged to enter these excellent competitions that provide experience and the opportunity to win distinguished trophies and medals. They are also excellent training for centralised full-bore shooting.

BRITISH SCHOOLS SMALL BORE RIFLE ASSOCIATION Chairman: Major FO Harriss

This is the 25th year in which Charles Lee has taken British Schools’ teams abroad and we congratulate him on his sticking power and thank him for his efforts over the years. This year we were represented in the high-level competitions in Dortmund, where Sara Carr from Seaford College came 6th out of 50 in the Junior Women class, a fantastic achievement. Matches were held against the Danish Juniors, both at Esbjerg and Bisley. The British Schools’ team lost away and won at home, both by small margins. The annual postal match against New Zealand resulted in a win for the New Zealanders this year. England won the A and the B team matches in the Schools National this year. Andrew Penfold had been the organiser of the England teams for some years previously, before handing over to Nigel Ball. Andrew brought them to the fore in this match. We were all much saddened to hear of his passing while waiting for major surgery in hospital. He will be sadly missed in many areas to do with School and Cadet shooting. Sionaid McIntosh of Dollar Academy is to be congratulated in winning the Association Championship this year with a fine 297. Second was Anderson of Gresham’s with another Dollar pupil, Thompson coming third. The Junior Championship was won by C Pirouet of Victoria College The Team of Eight competition was an unbreakable tie between Sevenoaks and Gresham’s, both dropping one point, so they shared the trophy. In the Autumn Leagues, Gresham’s took the Field Trophy (Section A), Oundle the Pollard Cup (Section B) and Wellington the Junior Autumn Trophy (Section C). A most successful Open Meeting was held at the Lord Roberts Centre in December, with Fran Vernon from Sevenoaks winning the Individual and Wellington winning most of the other trophies, apart from the pairs competition which went to Sevenoaks. Six Schools attended and several others expressed an interest. We warmly thank Nigel Ball for running this shoot and Ian Shirra-Gibb for running the firing point. This year Nigel hopes to shoot using the electric targets at 50m on November 30th. Perhaps spurred on by their successes at the Open meeting, Wellington won the Spring Trophy (Section A) and the Junior Spring Trophy (Section C) in the Spring Leagues. The Drabble Cup (Section B) was won by Dollar. We are grateful for the help of the committee, the Section Secretaries and the Divisional Scorers in running these competitions, especially Michael Nash who has done such a splendid job as Competitions Secretary over many years. We accepted with great regret his resignation at the 2013 AGM on the grounds of ill-health and we voted him a Vice President with acclamation. Luckily Philip Dobson from Berkhamsted School agreed to succeed him in this crucial role. We are also grateful for the backup we received, as ever, from all at CCRS.
