Shooting from scratch, Foot never once turned m a poor target. His performance was highly praised by the secretary (Mr S. BerneO at the prize-giving ceremony last night. . Mr Bernet stated that consistency was necessary to win prizes and that Foot had put up a wonderful performance to top the handicap aggregate from scratch. Reference was made to the fact that only 5000 rounds of ammunition was obtainable for the past season and the hope was expressed that the position would improve next year. Tne difficulties of obtaining a range were also mentioned, but Mr Bernet thought that the club would be able to use the Drill Hall again when it resumed operations.
