Congratulations to Josh Wegg, Charlie Gunns, Thomas Aldous, Emily Flowerdew and Daisy Burn for qualifying for the British Shooting National Schools finals.

The finals were held on the 4th and 5th of February in Cannock.

In the rifle event Charlie Gunns was superb in the Junior Sporter Rifle category and came away with the bronze medal after an excellent performance in the final.

In the 10m Precision Rifle Emily Flowerdew, Daisy Burn and Thomas Aldous won the Gold medal in the team event against a very high quality field.

Unfortunately, after shooting new personal best the week before, Josh came down with a nasty dose of flu so was unable to compete. In the pistol, this left Charlie Gunns who was competing in the Junior Pistol category. Charlie shot brilliantly and was awarded top pistol para shooter at the event.

We are so proud of the performances delivered and look forward to Josh returning for next years competition!

On 8th December 2024 we held our first Santa Shoot. this was in aid of Pancreatic Cancer UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Bowel cancer UK as well as our local Scouts charity. We were delighted and amazed to raise £2100 for these charities with 100% of funds made through the event being donated.

Everyone enjoyed a fun day of shooting, Christmas stalls, and hog roast and we look forward to returning to this event in December 2025.

In November, Chris was lucky enough to attend a coaching seminar with Olympic rifle gold medalist Ginny Thrasher. This was held at Aldersley and was a fantastic experience. ginny was kind enough to sign a range of T-shirts for our juniors and to have her picture taken with the positive potato mascots.

We were delighted to be awarded the hosting of the Eastern Region Schools Rifle Championships in November 2024 by British Shooting. It was a fantastic event with young shooters from across the Eastern countries taking part with the aim of trying to qualify for the National Schools Finals.

We were delighted that all our shooters qualified- huge congratulations to Charlie, Thomas, Daisy and Emily on fantastic shooting.
