April 2009

Having returned from a very successful .22 training week in Zurich, I’m very much looking forward to the next at the end of the month. These two trips are all part of my preparation for the Munich and Milan World Cups in May and Europeans in June. They are opportunities to train with the .22’s and to compete in trials matches for the forth coming Major International Matches. The March session saw me shoot 576 in both trials matches, one point short of the score needed for Senior Ladies. But this season I already have exceeded the 577 required, with a 579 in Finland.

After the April training week in Zurich I will be staying in Switzerland for a couple of days before competing in the ISCH competition in Hannover, where I will be competing in both the Air and Sport Pistol matches. Being able to stay near Alan Green in Switzerland will save A LOT of traveling in a short period of time and worked out very successfully last year. But with minimal funding this year as a result of the British Shooting funding cut, it will be a slight strain on my bank balance not being able to work for this two week period. So more hours bar work and waitressing before and after will be required!!
