100 DTL Reg George Clarke Memorial Trophy

All the elements came together and threw wind, dark clouds, some sunshine and then more wind.  Couldn’t have been a more fitting day for the George Clarke Memorial Trophy who was a well-liked and much missed shooter at Penrith.  The day is bitter sweet for all those who were fortunate enough to have known him. Always a good reason to take time out for those who have left footprints in your life.  We all need those.

 

The day was packed with fabulous shooting and the trophy was won by David Magill who went B/O and ended the day with 100/297.  I cannot describe how delighted David was to win.  You can probably tell by the big smile when receiving the trophy – a worthy winner.  Les Elwell was second with 100/295, Steve Allan on 99/293 and John Titterington and Tom Robinson followed with 99/292.

As usual there were at least 9 shooters in the 280’s and many others not too far behind. 

 

Two of our shooters came to spend the day with us, Tony Commons and Dudley Coward who have both had various health problems, but we would like to wish them both good health and be back shooting at Penrith.
