The scouts all did their best and showed a good sporting spirit throughout the day and the District will now select the top 8 shots to represent them in the County Shooting competition in October

This event would not have been possible without the assistance of the qualified Instructors who support the delivery of the disciplines and the small team who scored the targets and pulled the results together.  I am grateful to the whole team for giving up their time to enable the scouts to have a great day.
