Forbes 5-Stand State Selection Shoot With two 5-Stand layouts in operation SSAA NSW Forbes Branch hosted the 4th 5-Stand State Selection shoot on 24 March. The fine, warm weather attracted 49 competitors from Bathurst, Dubbo, Temora, Griffith, Hay, Parkes, Mudgee and around the Forbes district. Many competitors arrived on Saturday, including a mini bus load from Griffith and Hay to practice on Saturday afternoon. Coffs Harbour Bananacoast IRB Championship SSAA NSW IRB Bananacoast Championships were held at Coffs Harbour on the weekend of 23rd and 24th February, 2013. We had 57 entries for the Saturday but unfortunately the weather was against us with around 50 shooters queued up on the heavily flooded Dairyville Road and as a result we decided to cancel Saturday's shoot. The decision was made that if the flood had subsided by Sunday we would go ahead with Sunday's shoot. Twenty seven brave souls turned-up on Sunday and the day went ahead very successfully with all who took part enjoying themselves. The weather was reasonably kind with showers of differing intensity during the day. The shoot was well run by SSAA NSW Forbes Branch members who provided excellent shoot administration and catering. The shoot was generously sponsored by ELEY Cartridges and Casella Wines (Griffith) with winners returning home with plenty of samples to try. A big thank you to Dave Billinghurst who came up from Sydney to score the weekend, we quickly merged 4 details into 2 and shooting commenced at approx 9.20 am. Whilst we were getting ready Larry and Warren fired up the barbie and cooked Breakfast for us, they did a mighty job over the course of the day. Well done guys.
