Coming second on a count back was Nimmy Dzuiba on 37 points from the rooster Lynne Davison, well done.
Nearest the pins for the ladies was Lynne on the 4th and the 11th and the men it was Nim on the 11th and young Simon Hogan on the sixth by half a metre from the mercurial Phill Smith who often doesn't miss out on a nearest the pin.
The bunny award goes to a Rabbitohs supporter ironically in Tony Chatman, who also won the lucky card draw in the raffle.
Billy Ray's brother Robbie Rea came up trumps with Reggie (the Sea Eagle) Davison and our elder statesman Billy Warren getting the runners-up.
Next week will be a stableford event with Ritchie Wells supplying the trophy. Should be a good one to win because he doesn't like losing his money. And then on May 2 will be our Monthly Medal, so don't miss that one.
It's a 7.30am for 8am start from now on.
I'll leave you with this saying 'any golf is better than no golf' and go the mighty Dragons.
Until next week, goodbye from the Mad Dragon.
PARKES SSAA SMALLBORE

Our next shoot is at 10am this Sunday and will be at ordinary targets at both ranges. As well as storing your bolts away from your ammunition, this includes any magazine for your rifles. DEFINITELY no ammunition is to be in any magazine as it is classed as having a loaded firearm. I didn't make the rules, the powers that be did!
