Final posting for 2016.
The Pavilion is quiet today, most people having left.
The final Team dinner last evening was an enjoyable affair. The main guests were Lt.Col. and Mrs. Simon Rushen, representing CDLS, and Mrs. Marion Evans, former manager of the Pavilion. A specially engraved medals was presented to John Marshall to commemorate his first coming to Bisley 60 years ago. Patrick Champagne won the Gerry Ouellette Award and Jim Paton the Victoria Rifles Trophy as, respectively, the top Canadian Under 24 and Top Canadian overall in the Grand. With so many people leaving early this morning, the festivities did not go on very late.
So Bisley is over for another year. I would not presume to comment on the Canadian Team's performance - that will be for the Team Officers to report. I'd like to thank those who have read these daily ramblings and hope they have provided a few sparks of interest and information.

Preliminary Result (E & O E) of the Mackinnon, fired this morning. Teams of 12 shooters, 10 shots at 900 and 1000 yards.
It was a good close match, with the result in doubt most of the way. At 1000 yards, the wind began to pick up, still varying from side to side, which gave the coaches a bit more challenge. It was noticeable that England stopped shooting on a number of occasions, which the other teams ploughed ahead.
1. England 1169.144
2. Ireland 1160.127
3. Scotland 1159.116
4. Canada 1157.111
5. Wales 1156.119
6. Australia 1156.102
7. Guernsey 1152.113
8. Jersey 1132.101
9. Germany 1122.84
Zambia Rose Bowl
1. BCRC
2. Canada
3. Australia
It remains warm and sunny.
The Final of the Queen's is just starting as I write.
Later at 1730
David Calvert, Royal Air Force Target Rifle Club and a good friend to Canadian shooters, has won the Queen's Prize for the second year in a row. He scored 297.41, one point ahead of three others on 296.38. Jim Paton scored 292. More Details later, after the Prize Giving and the visit of the winner to the Pavilion. The cannon is charged!

At the same time, the House of Lords fired against the House of Commons for the Vizianagram. The Upper House won by 453.28 to 452.35. I wonder whether such a match could be ever held at Connaught?!
Queen's Second Stage is underway this afternoon.As previously reported, there are eight team members competing: Jim Paton, Barry Langille, Peter Westlake, Patrick Champagne, Scott Murray, Steven Spinney, Geoff Woodman and Fazal Mohideen.

The Final of the Donaldson Memorial will be fired this evening. Geoff Woodman, Jim Paton, Peter Westlake and Fazal Mohideen have qualified in the final 100. Peter Westlake finished 56th and Fazal Mohideen 63rd.

5. Germany 402.38 412.59 413.35= 1227.132
It was a good close match, with not too much between the teams. the Australians' perfect score at 500 yards really sealed their victory.
In the A.G. Bell, over the same course as the O\verseas. the Athelings (BCRT) beat the Canadian Cadet Bisley Team by 1232.138 to 1223.132.
In an astonishing result, Wales won the National Match by one point from England and Scotland. There will be rejoicing at Bisley and in the valleys tonight.
I do not yet have the scores for the Prince of Wales, fired this morning, and the final placings in the Grand Aggregate.

In an astonishing result, Wales won the National Match by one point from England and Scotland. There will be rejoicing at Bisley and in the valleys tonight.
I do not yet have the scores for the Prince of Wales, fired this morning, and the final placings in the Grand Aggregate.
As I write this, the second stage of the St. George's is underway at 600 yards.
