Class Team wind coach for the 2009 World F Class Championships.
All
of the instructors are dedicated F Class Open and F/TR shooters and many have
successfully represented GB, England and Scotland in International F Class
Competitions over the years.
Costs and Course
Numbers
The
Course can accommodate 48 shooters maximum. This is to allow the three
activities prior to the wind-reading lecture to be manageable and give maximum
benefit to attendees.
The
cost of the course will be £75.00 - this
does not include accommodation or meals,
which Course attendees will be responsible for booking themselves.
It
will be on a first booked and paid basis.
I am afraid that email bookings will not be taken, as we have cut the
costs to the bare minimum and would like to ensure that we get maximum
attendance.
Accommodation
Accommodation
is available at Bisley and you may wish to book at either the London &
Middlesex Club on 01483 473006 or the NRA on 01483 797777 ext 152.
Meals
will be available in the evening at the L&M Clubhouse.
A
detailed course programme and timings etc will be produced and sent to attendees
at the beginning of March 2010.
Please
