JAMES HINKINS

It is with great sadness that I have to report of the untimely death of Norfolk junior shooter James Hinkins.

Seventeen year old James was killed in a vehicle accident on Wednesday and will be sadly missed not just by his own club and county friends but by everyone that knew him around the region. James’s first love was sporting which he had great success at and claimed many titles not only county but regional. His fast smooth style drew many an admiring glance and his rapid improvement and scores belied his age. His most noted achievement in the regional shoots though was probably that he won the East Midlands All Round junior title for three years running.

James will be sadly missed and our thoughts and prayers are now with his parents as they try to come to terms with this tragic loss.

God Bless James.

For those of you that wish to attend James’s funeral I now have the arrangements to hand.

The service will take place at Kings Lynn Crematorium, 11-30 6th August; the Funeral Directors are W.Bailey & Son, 55 Lynn Road, Wisbech, all floral tributes to Baileys.
