Thanks for the Phoenix

Phoenix LogoThanks to you all for coming to the Phoenix Meeting again, or for the first time.  I hope you have enjoyed the experience and that, at the very least, went home with a couple of personal bests.  By the time you read this the results should be on line in the usual places.

Alan Whittle Newcomer Trophy

This is for the person with the highest number of Grandmaster Medal points who has not attended the Phoenix before.  It proved too difficult to work out in the short space between the stats going final and the presentation so we apologise for this.

The winner was Riaan Kunneke, one of our guests from South Africa.

Raffle prizes

On the Friday night several prizes were awarded and the main winners among the range officers were:

Free entries for NRA meetings:

At the prize giving Glenn Forde, Shaun Trout and Steve Paine won the rifles and the cash prize.

The Grandest Master

New for this year sponsored by the UKPSA it is the competitor with the highest number of Grandmaster Medal points.  This year the winner was Terry Fry.

British and Phoenix Records

Several new records were achieved at the meeting.  Congratulations to all those competitors. In the past we have highlighted both British record and Phoenix record scores in the results but as these are now easily accessible on the Gallery Rifle website and will be updated in the next few days, please check there.

Although past records are not complete, I think Colin McMichael made another one by completing 36 events, including some personal bests!!

Jane’s Wicked Wheel

Due to the low number of entries the prize was awarded to the fastest time, regardless of gun type.  The winner was Dave Stanley with a time of 3.57 secs.  He won a cash prize which he generously gave back to the BUGS charity.  Jane would like to thank everyone for continuing to support BUGS and tells me she raised over £300 over the weekend.
