Shooters from seventeen clubs tackled some tricky conditions at East Grinstead Target Shooting Club's Autumn meeting as variable light and wind made consistent shooting difficult. Over 50 competitors from 7 counties, including 2 from Jersey took part in a 50 metre English Match competition.  Overall winner was Mike Dowe from St Nicholas R&PC with a score of 587.  Up and coming shooter Hannah Drury from Westerham won Class D with a score of 563 and also went on to win both the Ladies and Juniors competitions with a score of 589.91.  East Grinstead retained their honour with 6 members picking up prizes.
