At least!
There are 2 Grimsby Novices on target 1 and I dont recall Sheila or Kelvin Oldham ever winning anything. Although Kelvin's shot for quite a few years he's usually too busy judging, but he's still a novice by definition "not won a challenge trophy".
A couple of years ago, one of our novices (a compounder) was putting in a storming score. A recurve guy on the next target started badgering him that "you cant claim a novice trophy with a huge score like that".
The compounder finally relented and took his name off the novice list even though he was a novice and it was only his second or third comp.
Guess who took the novice prize! Yep, the guy who had been badgering him.
Not very sporting!

I take it Roger Sale (Independant) on Target 3D is a county member then

He is joining Friskney I believe from Malcolm as he is new to the area.

thanks for the heads up on the photos. Wendy noticed as well so I was heading back to the office when I got your PM. I had a long exhausting day - as everyone pointed out, it must have really been difficult for me to shoot 4 arrows per hour using the hooter shooter and so I must have had a senior moment and forgot to resize some of the images before uploading them.

I'm not sure if Graham (the meggy) enjoyed his win more than the chance to see the hooter shooter and have his bow mapped. Craig B was impressive again, shooting the adult distance if he had entered as an adult he would have come third.
