This time two years ago I reported that the then newly formed Middlesex Clay Section had come 7th out of 17 provinces that took part in the 2nd National Masonic Inter-Provincial Clay shooting Competition.

On a wet, but thankfully not windy, Sunday 18th of June 2006, at Leighton Hall, Carnforth, we put forward a larger squad into the 3rd Inter-Provincial competition and I am happy to report that we came away with a superb winners’ trophy.

There were a total of 207 entries of which 79 were Masons representing 15 provinces. The team scores were made up of the top three scorers from each province.

The event was organised by the West Lancashire Masonic Clay Pigeon Shooting Society. At the awards ceremony they announced a total donation to charity of £17,000. Our thanks go to them and their helpers for all their hard work.
