In the history of City of London Corporation Cup target shooting competition, which was inaugurated in 1910, East Grinstead Target Shooting Club is believed to be the only club ever to get all three teams through to the final.
Well done to Ian Farnell, Geoff Davies, Tim Green, Peter Lewthwaite and Les Shilling who won their division in the National 50m Summer Comp. Also Tim Green, Joanna Parfitt and Mark Wiles managed to win Division 2 of the National 10M Air Rifle Summer competition.
