President John Spooner Vice Presidents Dear Member, Brian Baggs Will Hoad Hello and welcome to 2014. Dennis Kates Mike McCarthy Firstly, thankEyou to all involved with setting up and running the Christmas Shoot, which went well Jenny Page until the rain started. Chairman We had a Club record turnout of 71 shooters, and with the aid of Andy’s 8 stand layout, queuing Peter Saich was kept to a minimum. (01932) 845076 (07947) 259963 The Club spent over £400 on shooting and raffle prizes and a further £400 on food for members, so the big turnout helped to go some way to balancing the books for December, and early indications Secretary from Daren’s forecasts show that we are likely to end the year in profit, despite reducing the Dave Marr shooting fees AND purchasing five new automatic traps and other equipment associated with our (01372) 372137 move to Clandon Park. (07973) 665354 One of the casualties of the rain at the Christmas shoot was our usually popular raffle. June and Su Treasurer still managed to make a profit of £173 on the day, but due to the weather conditions, many people Daren O'Toole left before the raffle was drawn. The result is that we have a number of unclaimed prizes so we will (01252) 678876 be issuing a free raffle ticket to all Members entering the January Pairs shoot. The draw will take (07557) 980660 place immediately after the shoot in an effort to reEdistribute the prizes kindly donated by Members. Committee Some important dates for your new 2014 diaries!

Hi all I’ve been Club Secretary for 6 months now and the ‘honeymoon period‘is well & truly over! I wasn’t tasked with much at first but now I’m in thethick of it - the Christmas Shoot, AGM & Tony Warsop Memorial Shootas well as the regular monthly shoots and all the other stuff that goes with my role in the Club. Not that I’m complaining mind - I did sign upfor this gig and I’m still ‘embracing the challenge’ with a smile on my face!

My first organisational task was to establish attendees, helpers, raffle prize donatorsand pie choices of all 70 members for the Christmas shoot. Not a difficult task you might think given modern technology (gone are the days of pigeon post)! Not so I’m afraid. 3 weeks, 4 group e-mails, multiple texts, several answer phone messages & a few personal phone calls later I finally managed to get 69/70 responses. Life is too short people. I too have a family, a business to run & a social life. I will be involved with a lot of the organisation for the Tony Warsop Shoot this year and beg you all toplease give prompt responses to communications. It will be very much appreciated.

Enough of my grumbling and on a more positive & prettier note Caroline Cheesman is now the Membership Secretary (taking over from James Bryant) and also now monthly shoot ‘helper rota’ organiser (taking over from Will Hoad). She agreed to dothis whilst on holiday in Florida in October (maybe too many Bud’s Caroline?) and has thrown herself into these roles with faultless competence & enthusiasm. Thank you Caroline, you’re doing a great job.

Nominations for the Special Achievement Award 2013 (to be presented at the AGM) werediscussed by the Committee at our December meeting. There were only 2 nominations and I’m very happy to report that, by a unanimous vote, Matt Oldland will be the recipient. Matt was 3rd in the 2012/13 winter series, A Class winner for 5 shoots out of 9 shot(including 3 consecutive), July skeet competition winner, A Class winner & 2nd overall at the Tony Warsop Memorial Shoot. He also represents the Club at other shooting events,is key in setting up monthly shoots (even when he can’t stay to shoot with us), principle inliaising with Lord Onslow & Clandon game keeper, Loseley organisation & management, work parties, tools & heavy plant etc. All in all a cracking shot (if he doesn’t showboat),loyal, committed, generous and a very humble invaluable member of the Committee & Club.I’m sure you will all agree. Well done Matt.

Please don’t forget the Club’s AGM is on Thursday 13th February at Canada House, Bisleyat 8pm where not only can you have your say about the way the Club is run, receive a trophy &/or congratulate those receiving trophies but also enjoy a splendid complimentarybuffet.

The Tony Warsop Memorial Shoot this year will be at Woodland Persuits, Reigate on Saturday 28th June and Loseley will be on Sunday 28th September. More information about both will be forwarded nearer those times. That’s it from me for now & hope tosee you soon.
