| 26/10/2008 | Combined FITA
World Record Status | This year the Autumn Tournament / Combined FITA was run as World Record Status for the first time, and attracted a first-class field from the four corners of the country. Despite adding an eleventh boss there was still a waiting list, which bodes well for next year when we move to a bigger hall. The shoot went well, and everybody appeared to be well satisfied with the event. Thanks to all who helped: we received several comments from the participants on the professionalism and smooth running of the event.

| 28/09/2008 | Annual Chicago Tournament | There was a good turnout to this season-closer, and the weather held off just long enough to finish the shoot in the dry. It was good to see so many recently joined members, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, despite the distinctly autumnal chill. Results show both the Chicago score & the amended American equivalent. | more |
