Club Scores, Season 40 September 2024 to August 2025

Season 40 - September 2024 to August 2025 Osney Lodge Shoot 11 of 20, Sunday 23 rd March 2025 The 11 th shoot of the season and a bit overcast but the rain stayed away so good weather for shooting. A good turnout with 20 members and one guest shooting. Great to see our latest guest Alan back again and keeping consistent with another 37. Hopefully he’ll be back again at the next shoot. Great to see Andy back too after a couple of months out. The set up looked a lot easier than the last shoot which was a very tough one but, nevertheless, it seems the Midi’s and Rabbit proved a challenge for some. The rather jumpy rabbit especially damaged a few score cards!! Only one person breaking the 50 mark, Darrell Etherington with a 52. Some very good scores in the high forties and a new personal best for Simon Blanshard with a great 28. Great shooting, well done everyone. Some of you will now have completed 8 shoots or more so your ranking and final score for the season will start to show and future shoots will knock off your lowest score - see the Members Handbook if you want a refresh on the scoring system. We are continuing to work hard with Surrey Firearms to resolve the issue for guest shooters and members that don’t yet have their Shotgun Certificate. Further updates will come out via email so keep a look out for these. We hope to get this resolved in time for the April shoot. All the documentation has now been submitted and we are awaiting the inspection for our 11/6 application. Brendan has confirmed the Annual Shooting Tour, which will be in Bedford at Sporting Targets. Watch out for the emails and remember to confirm if you are attending so he can secure the hotel rooms and restaurants etc. Usual thanks to the following: • Darrell & Tom for the photos • Geoff for managing the shooting fees and memberships etc. • Geoff for sorting the food and Chef Steve for managing the BBQ • Darrell, Steve & Geoff for setting up the shoot • Everyone that helped pack away and dispose of the rubbish, and anyone for anything else we’ve forgotten ….

Shooter Statistics, Facts, Figures, Scores and Trophies Below is a collection of statistics, scores and trophies etc. for regular shoots at Osney Lodge Farm and Annual Shooting Tours.

The Founders Trophy The Founders Trophy was created in 2015 by three of the original founding members of F&F, Roy Grogan, George Lake and Brian Sandle (see the Club History page for more information on how the club was formed). First presented at the 30 th Anniversary Shooting Tour on the Isle of Wight in 2015, the Trophy is given to members who have significantly contributed to the club. The winner keeps the Trophy for one year and decides who will be the next member to win at the Annual Shooting Tour.

2015 The Trophy was created this year by the founder members and presented to Darrell Etherington for work on the creation and maintenance of the clubs web site, scores and AGM. Also, for the maintenance and development of the electronics for the Auto Traps.

2016 Awarded to Brendan O’Reilly for his outstanding contributions to the Club. As the clubs regular travel agent he’s arranged many fantastic Annual Shooting Tours. He also helps with clay collections, trap maintenance, the move of the club hut and lots more.

2017 Awarded to Ruth & Tony Tatman for their outstanding contributions to the Club. Ruth & Tony are both very dedicated members of the F&F Club and provided us with Ruthie’s Café every shoot until they retired to Cornwall. They continue to be dedicated long distance members of the club.

2018 Awarded to Geoff Pelling for his outstanding work as Membership Secretary. Geoff took up the function of Membership Secretary in 2017 and has done a fantastic job of ensuring memberships are valid, paid up on time and, more importantly, putting safety first by making sure all members and guests have a valid Shotgun Certificate and insurance.
