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 (13th Nov) and am able to stay with my brother Alex for a couple of weeks and will return after my competitions on the 2nd 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.
