At the 2026 South East Zone annual carnival, which was held at Toowoomba on the weekend, BGC were successful in beating teams from other SEZ clubs to win the prestigious team event trophy the 'SEZ Meadows Transport Shield' which has been contested annually for more than 40 years and was won by Toowoomba last year.
The Shield is awarded for the highest average score from the six person team in the 50 target Point Score event, with the BGC team beating the closest team, Toowoomba, by three points.
The BGC shooters who contested and won the Shield this year are Alex Incani, John Porter, Gavin Langridge, Steve Patrick, Paul Hill and Shayan Rad, so remember to congratulate them when you see them next. (As a matter of interest, John was in the winning team in the Shield's inaugural year of 1985).
The Shield is now back in its customary place on the wall behind the range register - feel free to gaze at it when you are in the club house because no one else in the SEZ will be able to do the same at their home clubs.
Well done to all who made this years SEZ team.
