Club Scores, Season 39 September 2023 to August 2024

Season 39 - September 2023 to August 2024 Osney Lodge Shoot 14 of 20, Sunday 19 th May 2024 The 14 th shoot of the season and a lovely hot sunny day - has summer finally arrived? The attendance was good with 21 members shooting, no guests this time. Hopefully everyone that on the Annual Tour has now recovered, thanks again to Brendan for arranging this and looking for to someone new next year, watch this space …. Big thank you to 2Bob for revamping the ramp to the shed, some of you will remember Geoff went flying last shoot carrying a battery. Thankfully, he is okay and nothing was broken. 2Bob has done a great job of strengthening the ramp and adding a non-slip coating, nice job 2Bob, much appreciated. A very tough shoot this time and you can all blame Derek Poole who requested an extra hard one. Judging by Derek’s 39 he found it tough too!! Some very tricky driven stands, a distant edge on Battue and a very high edge on Chondel made it rather challenging, and only two shooters broke the magical 50!! Well done to everyone that posted a good score, great shooting. Despite the tricky shoot, a fab new personal best for Rob Jefford of 27, great shooting Rob. Clearly, it must have been the expert tuition from 2Bob and Darrell …. or, could be that he’s got himself a Browning :) !! There are now three new entries in the ’All time top 20’ this season, see further below and the scores are getting pretty close at the top of the leagues. You can view your overall club rank and potential league position in the ‘Shooter Stats’ table further below. The fundraising to replace the last GDK continues and is creeping upwards. The latest target and fund raising pot is shown to the right. If you have any new ideas for this, please let us know, the unit is old and starting messing around today so any ideas or donations towards the next Bowman will be gratefully received. Usual thanks to the following: • Kevin, Graham & Darrell for the photos • Brendan for managing the shooting fees and memberships etc. • Darrell, Brendan & Steve Harman for setting up the shoot • Chef Brendan for getting the food and managing the BBQ • Everyone that helped pack away and dispose of the rubbish • Anyone else for anything We’ve forgotten … There are a handful of photos below from today’s shoot or click here for the full gallery.

Shooter Statistics, Facts, Figures, Scores and Trophies Below is a collection of statistics, scores and trophies etc. for regular shoots at Osney Lodge Farm and Annual Shooting Tours.

The Founders Trophy The Founders Trophy was created in 2015 by three of the original founding members of F&F, Roy Grogan, George Lake and Brian Sandle (see the Club History page for more information on how the club was formed). First presented at the 30 th Anniversary Shooting Tour on the Isle of Wight in 2015, the Trophy is given to members who have significantly contributed to the club. The winner keeps the Trophy for one year and decides who will be the next member to win at the Annual Shooting Tour.

2015 The Trophy was created this year by the founder members and presented to Darrell Etherington for work on the creation and maintenance of the clubs web site, scores and AGM. Also, for the maintenance and development of the electronics for the Auto Traps.

2016 Awarded to Brendan O’Reilly for his outstanding contributions to the Club. As the clubs regular travel agent he’s arranged many fantastic Annual Shooting Tours. He also helps with clay collections, trap maintenance, the move of the club hut and lots more.

2017 Awarded to Ruth & Tony Tatman for their outstanding contributions to the Club. Ruth & Tony are both very dedicated members of the F&F Club and provided us with Ruthie’s Café every shoot until they retired to Cornwall. They continue to be dedicated long distance members of the club.

2018 Awarded to Geoff Pelling for his outstanding work as Membership Secretary. Geoff took up the function of Membership Secretary in 2017 and has done a fantastic job of ensuring memberships are valid, paid up on time and, more importantly, putting safety first by making sure all members and guests have a valid Shotgun Certificate and insurance.

Attendance Attendance, based on everyone who shoots i.e. members and guests - the numbers in brackets show the total number of members (paid and honorary).

2019 Awarded to Andy Catton for his dedication to F&F. Andy lives a long way from the shoot and has an early start to get there in time but always gets stuck in to help out with setting up, organising and packing away, a truly dedicated member of the club.

2020 Awarded to Kevin Strudley for his support of the club. Kevin has a long journey to the shoot but always gets there early to get stuck in helping out with setting up, organising and packing away, in addition has assisted Brendan with the Annual Tour. A very dedicated member of the club.

2022 Awarded to Bob Brown this year for his continued management of the club. Bob is Club Chairman so has the final word on a lot of important decisions and looks after the finances. Bob is always one of the first on-site to set up and occasionally (when not on a double-shift) he helps with a clay delivery :) !!!

2023 Awarded to Steve Harman for his dedication and support. Steve regularly gets down very early to help with the set up, starting the generator, getting Tea Urn running (very important task) and generally getting stuff ready for the shoot. He’s also on hand to help pack away and always ready to volunteer to help - a truly dedicated F&F Member.
