 James Mehta, OFRC Secretary, writes, "The OF Rifle Club hosted a day of coaching at Bisley for the College cadets on Sunday 4th March.
Thirteen young shooters braved hideous weather, but were able to zero their cadet target rifles before venturing out onto a cold and rain swept Century Range to shoot at 300 yards. For some it was their first experience of Bisley, and we hope the weather hasn’t deterred them!"
 Having presented the cadets with a (dry) team t-shirt, the OFs laid on a sumptuous carvery lunch in the North London Rifle Clubhouse, where the shivering teenagers restored their flagging spirits with massive platefuls of roast beef with all the trimmings, followed by crumble and custard.
(Nothing improves the spirits more than dry clothes and a hot meal!)
 So miserable was the weather that the afternoon shoot at 500 yards was abandoned when it threatened to snow.

 But a great day was had by all. Thanks to all the OF Rifle Club members who gave up their time to their younger brethren: Nigel Burnip, Jon Ford, Brian Smith, John Halahan, James Mehta and Kimberley Pope.
