The 2015 Derby Open
Some words from Jim
The Derby Open 2015 was a record breaker with more than 105 competitors and over 730 events being shot. It was fantastic to see 15 new faces and some completely new to the competition circuit. I wish I’d had some spare time to meet you all.
Again we had Scottish shooters travelling down, some for the first time and we hosted a Home Countries shoulder to shoulder on Friday afternoon, congratulations to the Welsh team for their victory.
Stats did brilliantly on the day and results were ready 40 minutes after the last shot. They can be seen elsewhere on the site.
Please Note: You have seven days to challenge any scores – and I have a bundle of score cards without names or with adding errors.
If you won a prize and were not present it may have been picked by a fellow club member. If not I will be in touch in the next day or so asking you to choose something.
I think you will agree that the prize table was excellent with numerous high value prizes to be chosen. This was mainly due to extraordinary support from the sponsors who supported the meeting. It is worth mentioning them by name as they deserve our thanks and having confidence in the future of our sport. Please support them in return.

THANKS
The Derby Open is a team effort and would not be possible without the 30 or so Range Crew who worked unbelievably hard over the weekend. Special thanks go to Team Smoothy and several other visitors for their help and not to forget the guys in Stats, and most importantly Pam and Mick on the BBQ.
Some photos will be on the club website gallery very soon.
