Gorgs is...............a Sheila!

I am currently out in Sydney, Australia thanks to British Airways – ‘Great Britons.’

As a result of winning the Great Britons competition on the internet, I won three trips to Zurich Switzerland for training purposes. Accepting two of the flights in September and October, an opportunity arose to shoot in the Oceanic Games in Sydney. I also would be able to train both 25m Sport Pistol and Air Pistol at the range prior to the event as well. Upon contacting BA I requested changing the destination of my final flight to Sydney and they kindly accepted.

I landed at the Sydney International Airport a couple of days ago (13^th Nov) and am able to stay with my brother Alex for a couple of weeks and will return after my competitions on the 2^nd December. The flights here were excellent even though they were completely full!

Being able to sleep on the flights i haven’t suffered from jet-lag at all. I was advised not to shoot for the first couple of days after landing just in case! Yesterday I visited Bondi Beach, which was amazing and the weather was lovely. It brought back memories of being in Sydney for a holding camp prior to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne 2006.

This morning I went to the Sydney International Shooting Range to do some .22 training. It is an amazing range with about 30 electronic targets. (Photos will follow when I return home and am able to transfer them from my camera!)

Thank you British Airways.
