ESK Home International – Morton Clay Targets 3rd September
Peter Stanton-Hope deserves a special mention as, having just qualified for the full England Skeet team for the first time, he managed a total of 148 ex 150 over the two days of the Home International championships in

Robert Humphreys won the Cash Class with 74 ex 80, closely followed by Nigel Gilder on 73 and kevin Theobald, 69.
In the Cartridge Class Terry Harris was triumphant, closely followed by Andy Nixon, second and Dave Camp who was third.

A big thank you to all those who organised the shoot and of course to all those who shot it as well – events such as these truly bring shooting into the community.

The Best Things Come in Threes? - Fire Service Championship.
On 16th March the National Fire Service Championships were held at Doveridge which consisted in 50 Sporting, 25 Skeet and 25 A.B.T. Three shooters stood out from the rest all taking different routes to arrive at exactly the same result of 83 ex 100. After a shoot-off, Mike Pilgrim retained the title with Don Cooper 2nd and Richard Baker 3rd. All three represent the Essex County Fire Service and one further coincidence is that all three are also members of the same shooting club - Bush Spring near Elsenham. The Veteran title was taken by Dave Mayes, also of the Essex Fire Service.
