Blue skies, and a warming sun signalled what we hope is the turning of the season – it was the 2nd Sporting Spring Series today, and those that shot were treated to a great layout, which included some good simo pairs, and a fast, fast, fast pair of crossers at the back of the skeet ground – shall we have them next time too? Another great set up from the course team, and the ground was looking in great shape, with grass never greener!
On the Trap layouts the SB County Champs took place, and was won by Mel Critchley, 90
