The 2021 Derby Open 1500 and Shorts
Notes from the Match Director for 2021
We have had to make some changes to the format of the Derby Open, just for this year, in anticipation of restrictions not being relaxed as forecast, and the likely prospect of social distancing continuing in some form.
We will not be offering T&P2 but replacing it with 1020. Doing this means we can offer nearly as much shooting as before.
We are expecting a big demand so return your entry form quickly. If you can shoot some events on Friday, you will have a better chance of being squadded for all the events you want. We will be monitoring numbers and may have to close entries until we hear how Covid restrictions are changing.
Should the event be cancelled, you will get a full refund. If you feel unwell with Covid symptoms you can cancel up to Wed 23/6/21 and get a refund.
Covid safety measures for the Open will be sent with the squadding to enable us to use the latest recommendations.
Please note:
- In T&P1 and Multi-Target there is a separate class for LBPs and LBRs with iron sights.
- For GR Classic the ‘spirit of the Original must endure’
- There are events for GR Open, however please note you are not permitted to use a GR Standard or GR Classic rifle to compete in this event.
The Programme starts at 10:00am on Friday until 4.00pm when A range will be given over to hosting the Home Countries International Match (TBC), sponsored by Brownells.
Talking of sponsors, almost all the sponsors from 2019 have agreed to support us again and we will put on the best prize table possible.
Wentworth Sporting Supplies are unable to provide their usual trade tent but if you pre-order your goods they will be available for collection. Call Alisha or Ian on 0115 956 9492 for your requirements (Wednesday or Saturday)
Squadding should be circulated about 10 days before the event so do not panic if you don’t hear back straight away, I will make every effort to accommodate your squadding preferences but no guarantees.
I look forward to receiving your form – and please include your classifications!
