Well the club AGM for another year has come and gone.
A few personnel changes have happened on the committee this year. Aaron and Marg stepped down after their years of service. Richard got nominated to VP, and accepted the role. All other executive positions remained as per previous. Karl, Malcolm & Scotty were accepted onto the committee as ordinary members.
One remit was tabled, and accepted by the committee.
All in all, a successful meeting that was done & dusted in just on 25 mins :)
Onwards to the next busy year in the club !!

Christmas Shoot 2009
Well the final shoot (or should I say blaze fest) of the year was a lot of fun.
This is the 1 shoot in the year where literally 'anything' goes (as long as it is safe)
The weather decided that it would play ball, albeit cloudy & a bit breezy.
A good showing by the club members for the day, and a lot of fun (& some politically incorrect) targets were presented for the shoot.
We had people shooting at targets of chickens, pool balls, political leaders, balloons, clay targets etc.
Aaron & I threw our 2 course ideas together to make 1x team event course, and everybody seemed to enjoy it... so much so that we had to run it 2 more times so that everybody got to try the different positions of the team.
It involved teams of 3. 1x runner, 1x gun holder & 1x trigger puller.
All team members started at the line with 5 rounds in their hand. Member #1 then had to run 10mtrs to a table to retrieve the magazine, load it & present it back to the gun holder at the line.
The gun holder then had to load the mag, rack the gun & take aim on target.
The 3rd member then had to insert their finger in the trigger well & pull the trigger while trying to score the best possible points on the IPSC target.
In short... it was absolute mayhem & a bloody funny thing to watch as the table got knocked over... magazines were strewn across the grass... people frantically trying to load rounds... 1 person trying to hold the gun steady & aim while another person is pulling the trigger...
Even just thinking about it still brings a smile to the face :)
The breeze even made the balloon shoot a funny thing to watch also as people tryed to pop balloons waving around on the sticks.
The 'Pool ball' challenge was interesting also. Teams of 2 had to shoot out their string of balls (1-7 or 9-15) then aim for the 8 ball. OK... so it was just another reason to shoot heaps of ammo LOL

People had various prizes to present for their COFs which was great.
Once shooting had finished, the BBQ got under way. Enough food to sink a battleship (or feed their crew at least !)
The kids had fun running around the range & climbing up the grass banks.
Things could not have worked out better actually.
I was the last to lock everything up and leave the range, and literally as I walked in my front door at home, the heavens opened & it poured.
All in all.... another great shoot & heaps of fun (and a hell of a lot of rounds)
Cheers
