2012 Gallery Rifle Calendar by Alan Whittle
On my way to work, the radio announced that 15th January was Black Monday - presumably because Christmas is over and the next Bank Holiday is in far away April. It is also the depths of winter, with short days dictating getting up and out to work in the dark and returning in the twilight. If all this is inclined to sadden the heart then fear not, club secretaries and match directors have been working hard all winter planning your 2012 Gal- lery Rifle (GR) shooting season. The NRA and nearly all the major GR Clubs have set their calendar, so here is the round up.
55
First up is the Spring Action Weekend (SAW) at Bisley 24/25th March followed a month later with the Basil- don 1500 plus shorts 27/29th April. The Mattersey Ten on 6th May keeps the spring going before Frome weighs in with the Western Winner (1500 plus shorts format at the Failand Range near Bristol) 18/19th May, giving an opportunity for some valuable pre-Phoenix practice.
The Phoenix Meeting at Bisley 1/3rd June is delayed this year to coincide with the late Bank Holiday with the extra day for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Mon- day 4th June see the Phoenix International 1500 Match at Bisley with the first outing of the year for the GB GR Squad.
Summer brings the Derby Open 30th June/1st July. Then in quick succession the NRA Historic Arms Meet- ing 7/8th July and the Imperial GR events 11/15th July (unlimited entries Wednesday to Friday and squadded matches at the weekend) both at Bisley. If you fancy a trip to Ireland, 13/15th July brings the second Inter- national Match of the year, also available for individual and club teams to enter.
The National GR Championships are contested at Bisley 25/26th August, then a short pause until the Tra- falgar Meeting 20/21st October and the Autumn Ac- tion Weekend (AAW) the following weekend 27/28th October.
Still to declare are Stourport (usually early August) and the Germany International GR Match (habitually early November). So there are at least a dozen opportuni- ties to enter classified GR competitions in all corners of the country and beyond.
At time of going to press, the GR Sub-Committee Chairman, Neil Francis, has received just one nomi- nation for the GB Squad Captain for 2012 before the closing date. It is likely therefore that Neil will recom- mend the nominee to NRA Council and I should be in a position next time to make a formal announcement of the Captain next time.
