Tuesday morning 19 July - revised in late afternoon

Although the NRA web site is now working again, the scores from Monday have not yet appeared, and I have not yet summoned up the energy to go to the scoreboards. . I will summarise the results in "the fullness of time". From Tony de Launay's comments on the NRA site yesterday night, there was a fairly considerable shake-up in the Grand Aggregate order, due mostly, in all probability, to the 1000 yard Corporation. Glyn Barnett now has a two point lead having dropped three points overall. From the Canadian scores posted in the Pavilion, Serge Bissonnette and Jim Paton lead our little pack with 14 off, next is Roger Mullin with 17 away. The NRA has not yet (12:15 pm) posted the list of the grand to date, so I cannot tell you the positions occupied by Canadians.

Our top scorers were: Times - Marc Landreville 50.6, Roger Mullin 50.8; Wimbledon - Scott Murray 50.2; Corporation - Jim Paton 48.4. But, where they placed on the NRA lists, if at all, I don't yet know. Later - Jim's 48 on the Corp did not make the list; Scott was the "last X in" in the Wimbledon; Marc and Roger are both listed. There were several aggregates finished on Monday, but no Canadians were listed.

There was light rain, on and off, for much of Monday, and a torrential downpour with lots of thunder in late afternoon. The last couple of details in the Corporation and Wimbledon got a good soaking.

Today has dawned cloudy, with less wind. Showers are forecast. The St. George's First Stage is being fired this morning, and then most of our people have a welcome free afternoon.

12:15 pm - sunny, but with very dark clouds to the west.

There were frequent heavy showers this afternoon, but thankfully none of our members were involved in shooting. Those in the Inter Services and Inter Counties Teams must have had a fairly miserable time.

The morning was not too bad and most got finished in the St. George's before the heavier rain. We have eight people through to Stage II, which will be fired on Thursday evening: Alain Marin, Serge Bissonnette, Jim Paton, Steven Spinney, Marc Landreville, Scott Murray, Roger Mullin and Dan Stanoev. Danny is in 300th place, with his 73.9!

Glyn Barnett continues to lead the Grand by 2 points, having dropped only three overall. Our top shooters are: Serge Bissonnette -14, Jim Paton -15, Alain Marion -18, Roger Mullin -19 and Steven Spinney -20.

Lists of scores including the George's and Grand are now on the NRA web site.
