The 122nd DCRA Prize Meeting finished today - with strong, gusty winds, but none of the rain previously forecast. Given everything, we have been astonishingly lucky all week. The last event is the most prestigious of our match, H.E. The Governor General's Prize. In by no means easy conditions, David Calvert had two fine shoots at the 800 and 900 metre ranges to finish on 292.26. Members of the GB Team took the first seven places: James Lewis 291.27 and Jeremy Langley 291.22, being 2nd and 3rd respectively. Between the two ranges, a select group of eight World War II veterans fired in the DCRA's special recognition of the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Ken Gregory, Richmond Hill, ontario, was the top scorer with 15.2. We thank all those who took part, and the perth Regiment for their participation and their display of WWII armaments. Canadians not in the Final fired the Bisley Qualifier to complete their Bisley Aggregate. The high scorer was Gordpn Launcelott, Halifax, NS, with 140.6, from Ken Westling, Vancouver, BC, 139.9, and Pierre Tremblay, Laval, Quebec, 134.9. Earlier in the day, team matches were fired at 300, 500 and 600 yards. In the Canada Match, for international teams of eight firers, the winners were Canada with 1193.140, from Great Britain, 1189.157, USA 1183.109, and Germany 1157.87. The Under 25 Match was also won by Canada with 1182.146 from Great Britain 1158.99. The lansdowne for club teams was won by NCRRA 588.63, from Cedar Springs RC 579.47. Also in the morning was fired the S.J. Perry at 800, 800 and 900 metres. Jacques Dugas, Quebec, Quebec, was the winner with 223.32, from Shawn George, Cleburne, Texas, 223.28, and Gerry Frazer, Powell River, BC, 220.30. Leo D'Amour, Laval, Quebec, won the F Class with 262/270, from Emil Praslik, Brewster, NY, 257. All remaining aggregates were completed with the scores from the Governor General's or Bisley Qualifier. The Caandian Open TR Championship: Jon Underwood, GBRT The Canadian TR Championship and Bisley Aggregate: Jim Paton The Canadian Masters: Jim Paton. The Connaught Aggregate: Shawn George 598.54; Leo D'Amour, 713. All matches and aggregate are summarised in the links below. I'll have some wrap-up thoughts tomorrow, but now I'm off to my bed!
