Wow, what a busy start to the season – we have 35 people taking part in our four-week introductory programme, some already showing a natural ability for this sport. Top shots were Yiannis Fam 94.2, Sarah May 90.3, Ethan Haigh 85.0, Jessica Kenyon 85.0, and Richard Kenyon 84.0.
Many thanks to the following members for helping run the programme yesterday. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm from everyone to get involved in every part of the event.
| Alexandra Woodwark | Dianne Grain | Luisa Kristen | Ollie Tuohy |
| Andrea Tuohy | Erin Little | Matthew Canlas | Pratik Tailor |
| Callum Osborne | Evan Little | Meredith Ackrill | Rhys Mountain |
| Craig Fair | Georgia Karantze | Michael Grain | Summer O'Dwyer |

A few hardy members braved the heat to don jacket and sling and shoot some practice cards. Only a couple of points separated the top shots (Meredith Ackrill and Evan Little 97.5, Craig Fair 96.5 and Ollie Tuohy 95.4). Matthew Canlas’s second card was looking very impressive, only two points down after six shots.
Brooklyn are on cleaning duty in March – this will be scheduled for Sunday 13 March and Sunday 27 March.
Next Sunday the Brooklyn AGM will be held at 7pm. Please consider putting your name forward to join the committee.
Meredith has been doing a great job of organising our club dinners for a couple of years. This year we’re looking to share this task around, and a roster is being organised. Could you please let Meredith know any dates that would suit you to organise dinner. If you are able to help out with dinner once or twice this season, that would be much appreciated. Usually there are around 12-16 people to cater for, and the cost of ingredients is covered by the $5 payment each person makes for dinner.
David will be making up the scoreboard charts for the club competition in the next few weeks. In order to get the charts as accurate as possible, please let me know (if you haven’t already) if you are not intending to return to shooting this year, or if you are not a current member but do intend to shoot this year.
