| BSA Cup and Women's
County Match - results just in |
21st Nov 2011 |
|
|
The results for these two
matches have just been received. Take the County Teams link on
the left to see full details.
Both teams finished 5th,
which is exactly the same as last year. These aren't bad
considering that in the BSA Cup the top English county was 6th.
Aberdeenshire won it and
there was again a strong showing from New Zealand with Auckland
and Wellington just above Lothian. Caithness were runners-up.
In the Women's match,
Lothian improved on last year's score but stayed in 5th out of
the 12 teams that sent in cards, and were well down on the winning
score. |

Stickers
are about to be distributed to participating clubs and should arrive
by the end of this week. The first round is due on 17th
October.
There
are only five divisions this year as the entry is down somewhat on
last season where there were six. Four clubs have dropped out
completely - EU Alumni, Edinburgh University, Heriot's and Dalkeith
(not surprisingly as they have disbanded), and there are only 28
teams from 15 clubs against 34 teams from 19 clubs last year.
Several clubs have only entered one team where before they put in
two or more. Balerno & Currie and Prestonpans have bucked that
trend however, by entering one more team each than last season.
19th - STOP PRESS!!
EU Alumni have just squeezed in under the wire with the (very) late
entry of two teams. Great - this mean no Bogeys now.
There had been one in Division 1 (never good unless unavoidable, as
it was) but they have taken that place. |
| Mary MacDonald |
17th Sept 2011 |

It is
with sadness that I have to report the death last Thursday of Mary
MacDonald. She was 78 and had been ill for some time. Mary was an official of
the LSSA in the 1970s-80s period along with her late husband Bill and
served as Treasurer for a couple years and was also the Air Weapons
Secretary. She was also heavily
involved in the organisation of the Scottish Pistol Association and
was a member of the long-defunct Hewlett Packard shooting club in
South Queensferry where she lived, and afterwards shot at Redcraig.
She was the Lothian Ladies Prone Champion in 1971, 1981 and 1982.
The
funeral will be held at Falkirk Crematorium on Thursday 22nd
September at 1.30pm, followed by a reception at the Two Bridges
Restaurant in South Queensferry at 3pm to which all her shooting
friends are invited.
