GB Match Rifle Team to Australia 2016 | Page 8

Gordon Duncan, NRAA Chairman www.GBMRT2016.org.uk The NRAA is delighted to have the Great Britain Match Rifle Team coming to Tasmania in 2016. Teams from both Great Britain and Australia will compete for the Woomera Match Trophy on 8 March 2016 at Campbell Town a small establishment roughly in the centre of the island State of Tasmania. The area is steeped in history (by Australian standards) as the State is a former penal colony established by your – and our – forebears. The whole State has morphed into a beautiful country in a pristine natural environment. Most areas are well within a few hours’ drive of the rifle range and this should allow sightseeing to competitors and attached members alike. There will be many other options to take part in the National Match Rifle Championships which commence on 1 March with a practice day then through to 8 March. This is followed by TR and F Class matches commencing with the Davis Series on 10,11 March and then the Queens from 12 to 14 March. As always, friendship and competition is the major object or any International Teams Series on a rifle range known for its gentleness and dogged determination to tear reputations apart sometimes in the same day.
