Welcome to our newest members: Ross, re-joining on return from two years overseas, and Gerard (Gerry), a Wellington Central member who has also joined our club.

It was a busy weekend for many.  Thank you to everyone who helped at the Wellington Open Championship match, and well done to all those who participated.

Congratulations to:

• Filly who shot 285.12 with an awesome 98.7 on her third card!
• Mark B, second in A Grade with a score of 295.15
• Meredith, second in Master Grade with a score of 298.21

Target Marking course complete

It was great to see Brooklyn members and family members attending the target marking course on Tuesday.  Please join in the marking on Sunday evenings to reinforce the course and complete your qualification.  Many thanks to Stephen for running the course.

Reminder: Brooklyn's 110th anniversary

We’re hosting an Open Championship competition on Saturday 2 August to celebrate Brooklyn's 110 years of shooting.  Please do come along, participate in the competition, and lend a hand during the day.  We will need help with entries, scoreboard, Range Officer (must be TSNZ qualified), target changing, marking and in the kitchen (offering soup, toasted sandwiches, baking).
