JSPC Ham & Petersham
Results and Photos from the SLG and JSPC Autumn meetings are now posted. Congratulations to all the shooters and especially to Norman Veitch who pushed the British record for Phoenix A Open Class to 197. 29 at Galashiels
Now that the Nationals have gone final the latest Rankings are now available. Only a few more graded shoot to go till the end of the season. I’ll aim to get ranking tables out before the AAW, the final grader of the year.
Mattersey usually hold two open meetings a year. Their Spring Shoot offers 1500 and Shorts. The Bianchi is usually at the twilight of the season offers a full Bianchi match for all gun types as well as the popular Shorts matches of T&P1 and Multi-Target. All fully classified matches.
Unfortunately the guys have had to cancel the match for 2016. Hope to be back on course for 2017
The upcoming Trafalgar Meeting is a must in the Classic and Historic calendar, held at Bisley on the weekend of Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 October 2016.
This Meeting is full of character, with competitors seen entering into the spirit of the event and some wearing appropriate clothing for the firearms used at the time.
The guns being used attract attention especially when, what is basically a museum piece, can be seen in full operational glory. This offers the pleasurable opportunity to use, view and handle historical, classic and vintage arms. Museums and private collectors do preserve our heritage firearms, however practical use by shooters with knowledge of these guns adds another dimension. These firearms being shot across the ranges is a reminder of the history of their development, from flint muzzle-loader or matchlock, to breech-loading nitro cartridge firearms.
There is also something for the collector at the Arms Fair over the weekend – a good opportunity to search for those hard-to-find pieces of kit as well as to discover new items for a collection.
This year the annual Trafalgar Dinner will once again be held in the historic surroundings of The Canadian Pavilion, with a sumptuous offering of a three course meal with wine followed by coffee or tea, a glass of port and after dinner mints, all for only £16.50.

To ensure we can run all the events we do need additional RO support to back up our valued regular team of Range Officers. If you are able to offer some time, please complete the ONLINE FORM. We provide mileage payment and meals for all those working the event – thank you.
We look forward to welcoming you all to Bisley in October.
News from North of the border is the JSPC Open over the weekend of 16-18 September is going to be a sellout. Entry forms are available to download or complete electronically and emailed to jspc_uk@outlook.com
The number of competitions has been increased this year to accommodate OPEN CLASS firearms, but please note that only one Open Class medal will only be presented (for first place).
Friday 16th is reserved for range crew and staff, but if there are any competitors who have problems in making the Saturday or Sunday, we will try to accommodate them on the Friday.

Provisional Results now posted
Deadline for appeals Midday Thursday 8th September
From Reception to the stats team and all the ROs across both days, thank you very much for your hard work, professionalism and cheery nature over the weekend.
We were delighted to see an increase in entries of 13% over last year (195 competitors compared with 172 in 2015) which is really encouraging. Initiatives such as the ‘Introduction to GR’ days help to encourage greater take up of GR&P, and I know many of you are involved in club initiatives too, making a real difference. It’s always good to see new faces on the ranges.
The last major NRA event of the year is the Autumn Action Weekend on 22/23 October. We are working on the entry form now and will publish it in the next 10 days.
Many thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you in October!
