RESULTS: During the past season we were able to field a teams  in the Worcester leagues plus  teams in the Midland .22 light weight sporting rifle league and teams in the  fullbore/centre fire rifle leagues.  Interest in the Light weight sporting rifle and the Full bore carbine shooting continues  to be on the  increase with  three teams  entered  in both the 09-10 sporting and centre fire leagues. Last years successes included Silver medals for the B team  in Midland lightweight sporting  Division Ten and  number of individuals in other postal competitions . In total we entered two teams in both the lightweight sporting rifle and fullbore Gallery rifle leagues in the winter 2008-09 competitions and three teams in each in the 09 Summer leagues. We are hoping for more success in the forthcoming winter season with teams in these and also the bench rest leagues already progressing well.
