ProvincialsSOUTHLAND
High Gun Colin Waghorn
The Balfour Gun Club hosted the
Southland Provincials on the 6th and
7th December. The weather was fine
which made shooting conditions very
acceptable for the 75 shooters who
attended. It was very pleasing to see the
visitors from up north who made the
effort to support these championships,
it was also the first time I had seen a
helicopter in the club’s car park.
There are a lot of people that I have to
thank for the smooth running of the
shoot namely those in the office who
helped our secretary and worked the
computer, the kitchen staff, the shooters
themselves for being on the mark on
time and the Balfour Gun Club members
who presented the grounds in such
an immaculate condition, well done
boys. We look forward to running the
provincials again in the next few years.
