Thwaites

Despite the forecast the weather was fine with grey skies and light wind. Ideal for shooting but not for the actual scores which remained steady with only one person shooting above their average.

Full results will appear on the Eastbourne & District web page but here's a brief resume for EGTSC shooters.

Congratulations to:

GENTS GET A LOOK IN

After last years clean sweep by the Ladies, the gents got a look in at this years Thwaites hosted at East Grinstead TSC. Over 30 shoooters attended the event on Sunday including one from as far afield as Scotland. The morning was blighted by continuous drizzle but did at least have the benefit of subdued lighting!

For the first time in it's history the Eastbourne League Thwaites Competition was hosted by East Grinstead TSC. It's always good to have home advantage!  The weather was reasonable although the morning saw variable light and wind making for some interesting shooting. Andy Meyers (East Grinstead TSC) shot a magnificent match by only dropping 5 points during the 60 shot match giving a score of 595. Various other shooters tried to better Andy's score but fell by the wayside.

For the first time ever, ladies took first place in all four of the main classes at the Thwaites on Sunday. A Class was won by LInda Smallbone (Eastbourne RC) with a score of 593, B Class by Sue Thomas (Carlisle) with a score of 577, C Class by Elaine Kettle (East Grinstead TSC) with a score of 557, and D Class by Julie Humphries (Eastbourne) with a score of 517.
