The rain (just) kept off for the annual clay shoot, held at the West London Shooting School on 16 May. Your Company fielded two teams of four, ably captained by Peter Craven for his second year.
Captain Peter Craven takes careful aim
A well-organised two days saw 103 teams shooting over 12 stands of varying type and difficulty, with four-man and two-man flushes in between.
The overall competition was won by the Watermen, with Farmers B coming second of the ‘non-livery’ teams – our best result for years.
Liveryman Assistant Robert Sears won a prize for his bizarre footwear!
Guest gun George Hurrell did really well, coming 14th overall, out of 412 participants. Your captain wasn’t too shabby either, with a score of 45, coming in the middle order.
A fun day was rounded off with the customary supper at Boisdales, courtesy of ex-captain and Past Master Alston.
