The 2019 GR&P Competition Calendar
The 150th Imperial Meeting
4200 cards later the final ranking table is now available. Apologies for the delay but a mix up with some grid number threw the first set of rankings. Some of the closest end of year results on record. Norman Veitch and Keith cox become the first to shoot 4 possible scores at T&P1 SB at graded matches with Norman taking top place by 4 x’s ! T&P1 was as close with only 6 x’s separating the top 5, again Norman taking it by a single x. Norman has decided to take up LBP and surprise surprise took top place in both T&P and MT, again a first for T&P1 LBP of 1200 ex 1200.
Hopefully there are no errors in the tables, if there are PM me.
All starts again in March.
The Autumn Action Weekend 2018
Provisional Results now posted
Challenge deadline next Wednesday evening – 7 November 2018
The last of the Gallery Rifle Action events is nearly upon us, the Autumn Action Weekend – Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 October 2018. This will be the last opportunity of the year to shoot the range of matches on offer in GR&P, full-bore rifle, target shotgun and practical pistol at Bisley.
On Butt Zero on Saturday we will have Target Shotgun and Speed Steels matches all day. Sunday includes the 11th Round of the NRA Handgun League.
Elsewhere multi-positional full-bore shooting runs side by side with the 200 yd McQueen matches on Short Siberia on Saturday, with the increasingly popular Mini McQueen throughout the weekend on Time Limit.
This Meeting offers the opportunity for fun and competitive shooting for competitors of all levels, with the usual range of discounts to encourage new shooters to Bisley, the Under 25s and those looking to shoot more matches.
New rankings now available. Only one more match to count, one or two look pretty tight. Any problems pm me.

Dave Meaby
It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the death of Dave Meaby. Dave, former club secretary for Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Marksmen and the Welsh Gallery Rifle Club, as well as organiser for the Army (ATSC) Gallery Rifle Open competitions, sadly passed away on Saturday August 18th 2018.
Dave was a regular at many of our Gallery Rifle Open meetings at Bisley and often helped out as a range officer. In the last few years he was the face of Welsh Gallery Rifle shooting organising the Welsh GR Open in Haverfordwest – acting as Match Director, squadding administrator and stats processor.
Dave – keeping stuff running.
Dave will be missed by all this friends and colleagues on the GR circuit. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this difficult time.
Dave’s funeral will on Tuesday 28th August at 11.00 at Flintshire Memorial Park and Crematorium,
Oakenholt Lane,
Northop,
Flintshire,
CH7 6DF

In accordance with Dave’s wishes, there are to be strictly NO flowers, but if anyone wishes to make a donation then please do so to either St Kentigerns Hospice or Macmillan Nurses.
2019 Imperial Competition for Gallery Rifle and Pistol.
Next July is the 150 years of the Imperial, the GR side has been asked if we as a group would like to do anything for this. I know this will only get to a few people who shoot GR, but the journal, web site and Facebook and word of mouth is all we have at present.
Some will have seen the posts, some fairly vociferous about changes we made to this years prize-giving for GR, it did not work as planned. Communication between e-mails and word of mouth produced different opinions and a different result to that envisaged . We learn for next year to cross the T’s and dot the I’s. To get some ideas for next year of what we could do that hopefully will involve a lot more GR shooters than the few that normally attend the Imperial we are holding a meeting at the army clubhouse on the Saturday evening of the Nationals at 6.00pm to get ideas. We want ideas for the competitions we could add and days to shoot over, not for just from those that already attend, but to bring more shooters into the event.
I also do not want it to be a discussion of prize giving and this years events, we need to work for the future for all GR shooters. If you cannot be there but have any suggestions, send them in to me at ted.george52@gmail.com, and they can be looked at by those there.

Gallery Rifle at the Imperial
The GR section of the imperial starts on the 18th July and continues till Sunday inclusive, for those who have been before its a laid back mixture of medal competitions available every day which can be re-entered as many times as you have the ammunition to shoot, and trophy matches which happen on the Saturday and Sunday.
The details of what is shot can be found in the GR book and the ‘Bible’ I have attached the range plan for Melville so you have some idea of times and where to go.
Booking in and entry forms can be collected and handed in in the ‘coffee lounge’ at the back of Melvile so no need to hunt round the NRA offices
