Very sad to report that Brian Hawksby passed away Thursday May 7th after a courageous battle, aged 82 years. Brian's wish was for a private memorial service held yesterday. The Club will miss this respected gentleman, we all enjoyed his company at the Butts as well as all South Island ranges over the 17 years. He often talked about his shooting highlight being a member of the NZ Vets in 2011 in Brisbane where he collected 2 individual medals. Our condolences go to his family and friends.

The Mid Canterbury Sports and Recreation Awards were held in Ashburton last night, and look who got inducted as Legend 2026 - our very own John Snowden.
Congratulations John on this very well deserved accolade. You've certainly earned your place on the walls of the EA Centre with the previous inductees.
We are so proud of you.

On Anzac weekend, Sunday 27th April
we had a club practice day at 700 yards.

It was a lovely warm afternoon with light winds in Ashburton for the 9 shooters, with some of our members away for the long weekend.

Scores were not recorded but there were some good ones noted - Murray Cook and Mike Chui both shooting possibles 60/60 and Martin 50.4.
