Another quilt out there to see if we can make a change in someones life.

Nan's Quilt No 16 will also be raffled to raise funds and this time it is to assist "Casa Caritas"

Logan's Christening

A Feast

Isn't She Gorgeous?

On Sunday we shared a special moment with our youngest
member of the family.

Dressed up in her beautiful outfit should looked an absolute angel                                                                             
    

 We attended the church service in Pretoria and then spent the day with Warren and Chanel  where Chanel put up a stunning table fit for a feast.

Two Beautiful Sisters

May you be Blessed all your life Logan and may you live knowing we all love you very much.

Second Golden City Club Shoot

Sean, Peter and Sebella Getting Ready on the Range

Temperatures today were well above 30 deg and all shooter felt the discomfort.

Estelle, Alex,   Richard and Erwin

Seven stages today with swingers, paper targets pop ups and a good few plates.

A large percentage of the stages were set where the shooter had to work his was from the front of the range to the back.

Jose, Peter, Sean and Sebella

The 180 deg rule had to be well observed today.

This was a good test for all taking part in the Nationals in March.

Today only 30 shooters were up for the challenge as there is a provincial shoot in Stillfontein that took some of our members.

Thanks Alex and Erwing that shot in our detail - Had loads of fun.

Northern Gauteng Open - Clay Target

The Air Force Base in Valhalla, Pretoria is the home of Northern Gauteng Clay Target. The Open was held on 18th and 19th January.
Most of the disciplines where there to be entered into and I reckon more than a hundred guns participated each day.
This is part of the trials for Universal for the team that will be competing in Italy. After five years of no competition shooting it's heads down and concentrate for me.
Lovely to be back with the big guns again.

First Maglite Shoot of the Year

Making it another all shooting weekend.

Sometimes Richard does not want to go and shoot the fun shoots on his own and I get invited just for the laugh.

Maglite shoots are always super fun where most of the shooters don't take the competition too serious and just enjoy their sport and the company of their old pals.

The Wattlespring members must have been really hungry to shoot as 63 shooters turned up - more than a third more than was expected.

Richard shot a good 95 after some silly stunts to see who could let the clay drop to it's lowest point before breaking it and to their surprise I shot my personal best - wait for it - 61.

Winner of Quilt No 14 Keith Falkes on the right

We also had the opportunity to give Keith Falcke his quilt that he won in the raffle of "Nan's Quilt No 14"

Thanks fors supporting Nan's Quilts

1st Shoot of the Year at Golden City

It felt good to get back to the anticipation of a day of hand gun shooting at Golden City again.

I think most of the shooters felt the same as it was a full house shooting on Saturday.

Most of the ranges were from a previous national shoot so they were really interesting.

From standing on a swing bridge reading a book as your starting position to starting seated with your gun on one table and your magazines on another. One range required that you

 transfer a suitcase from one end of the range to the end while shooting one handed to shooting through windows.

Loads of fun and strategies all day.
Thanks Demi, Arthur, George, Terry and Alex who were in our detail for a most enjoyable shoot.

Jubilee Home Fun Day
