Fri 21 Aug 2009

I’m writing the first part of this report in the afternoon (about 2:15 pm), having taken refuge from a heavy downpour. According to the Weather Office, a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for the Ottawa area. The radar shows a band for rain just passing through the area, with a gap of some 120 km before the next one. We may therefore be lucky and complete the afternoon’s team matches, although isolated showers may pop up anywhere.

The morning was quite threatening, but the rain held off for the firing of the Gatineau.

With the Gatineau, a large number of aggregates are also completed. These are listed in the box below.

 

Most important of all, the Macdonald Stewart Grand Aggregate is now finished.

 

The winner for 2009 is Kelly Bachand from Kent, Washington, USA. He scored an excellent 74.7 to pull ahead of the field and win by two points with 824.80. Des Vamplew, Scarborough, Ontario, had 75.7 thereby raising himself into 2nd place with 822.103. Top Canadian Under 25 was Shannon Carlton, Sutton West, Ontario, scoring 820.94.

 

Kelly and Shannon will be the guests of honour at the Macdonald Stewart Dinner to be held this evening at the Chateau Laurier Hotel.

The Gatineau (15 shots at 900m). TR: three way tie at 75.10, to be shot off, between Ray Smeltzer, NS, David Dyson, UK, and Morgen Dietrich, OH. F(O): Glen Taylor, AB, 73.9; Wolfgang Scholze 73.3; Leo D’Amour 72.4. F(F): Matt Wolf 70.4; Dale Rathwell 66.2; Jim Thompson 64.2.

Following a re-shoot of half-a-dozen people for the Letson 500, due to a target error, the list of TR qualifiers for the Governor General’s Final was revised. As a result, a tie-shoot had to be held for the 50th place, with Vicki Hall edging out Tom Maynard.

 

Looking out of my motel room, the rain has stopped (4:55 pm) and it’s nice and sunny!

 

I will finish this off later evening, when the team match scores are complete.

 

At 23:56, just back from the Macdonald Dinner.

As usual this was a delightful occasion, away from Connaught, in the civilised surroundings of the Chateau Laurier. Unfortunately, Mrs. Stewart was not able to attend, but several of us spoke with her on the phone. She sounded too be in good heart and most interested to hear of what had been going on.

 

Team match scores do not yet seem to have been posted, so I’ll find them and report in the morning.

 

The forecast for tomorrow is for more unsettled weather, chance of thunder-showers. Perhaps we will again be lucky – let’s hope so. The Canada and other short range team matches, as well as the Perry individual, will be fired in the morning, followed by the F Class and TR Governor General’s Finals and Bisley Qualifiers.
