On the 24th of February Southend & District Gun Club hosted the first Essex based CPSA course in a while. Sporting has always been a popular form of clay shooting in Essex but English Skeet is becoming more popular and as a Skeet club Southend GC was the obvious choice to host this.<\/p>\n

The CPSA supplied Steve Williams to run the course who not only gave full explanations of the technical rules such as,<\/p>\n

\u2022 Competition rules
\n\u2022 Gun loading
\n\u2022 Flight of the clay<\/p>\n

but also reminded all 8 potential referees of gun handling around a Skeet range. We were reminded of a lot of things but also learnt a lot about release triggers and competition rules.<\/p>\n

At lunch time Southend Gun Club put on a great buffet so we were set up for the afternoons theory test and practice sessions.<\/p>\n

The theory test was a multiple choice test with a couple of swerve ball questions but as we had excellent tuition we all passed with a couple getting 100%. I have to say it was a bit nippy whilst doing the practical but that didn\u2019t dampen the enthusiasm and with Steve\u2019s crib cards on how to behave whilst being refereed by our fellow trainees. Happily I am pleased to say that we all passed.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to Steve Williams for coming to Southend for the day and to Southend Gun Club for hosting the event and supplying the lunch etc.<\/p>\n

As all of the people taking the course are based in Essex it would seem that Essex now have 8 new English Skeet Referee\u2019s. Congratulations go to<\/p>\n

Jack Deegan, Clive Fry, Scott Jewers, Glen Defreitas, Mike (Spike) Pickett, Barry Dobbs, Brad & Tony Mihill<\/p>\n
