Pretoria Steel Challenge

Our Fab Prizes
I am not sure why I like Pretoria Steel Challenge. I just do. I love to hear the Plinking of Steel.

This was the Last of Pretoria Steel Challenge for the year and I don't know how we are going to survive with no more shooting until 2015.

I have to say a massive thanks to Gys and his team for the lovely times we've had with them this year.

There has been great shooting and then to top it all off there were fabulous prizes.

Thanks for the weekend away - we are definately looking forward to that and also for our prizes of the weekend.

May you, your family and your team have a Blessed Christmas and may you be showered in Blessings in 2015.

We'll be back


Golden City Club Champs

Had To Have A Hanging Bridge
Keshwin Doing His Thing
Saturday and temperatures in excess of 30 degrees.

Guns loaded and six stages to go for the last club shoot of the year.

We thought that the attendance would have
It Was Much Larger Than This
been far greater seeing that it was only one day of shooting this weekend.

We had a great time as we were in stitches most of the time with Keshwin's antics and by the way he had us in stitches with his shooting as well.

Thanks all you guys - Have a wonderful holiday and see you next year.

Chairman's Cup - Kimberley

No Matter The Pain - We Will Shoot
Love the Sporting
The last time we went to Kimberley for the chairman's must
have been between eight and ten years agoC

Jaco - I see it Too
The club has a lovely vibe and you can watch most of the shooting by pulling up a chair under the trees.

They organize well and as usual everything runs smooth.

This was a bad year for Central Gauteng but some tweaking and guiding of a lot of young shooters and the first time Chairman shooter and they will be at the top again.

Kimberley - La Casa Mia & Annabella Restaurant

First I thought just to chalk these two  establishments off as a bad experience. I have no photos thank goodness and all in all I just wanted to get home and forget about them, but on second thought we always put up with bad service and give a moan or two and then move on to the next bad service experience so I am now going to give my two cents worth about the above.

I thought La Casa Mia was going to be this family orientated home experience as it was advertised to us.
No such luck. With a hostess whose nerves are finished with staff giving her a hard time, to a bed and pillows that were so hard it felt like sleeping on a rock. From the shower leaking out onto the floor that we would have to soak the mess with towels to only having one towel and constantly having to ask for another. Oh and I forgot the noise all night long - kids crying next door.
Sorry La Casa Mia - we won't be back.

Now to Annabella Restaurant. This was suppose to be the team's fine dining night out. After booking a table for 18 we arrived only to find four of our party had to be seated elsewhere. The night slowly deteriorated from there. Some orders arrived after an hour and half. Some orders didn't even arrive.Fatty food. Food put on our table that was not ordered. And then there was the bill. Overcharged with close to three hundred rand.
Sorry Annabella Restaurant - we won't be back.
