Hello and welcome to the home page of the BICTSF.

UTR - The Team for The European Championship in Granada: Juniors; Jack Wilkinson, Owen Hastings,Theo Ling; Ladies, Abbey Burton, Susan Bate, Belinda York; Seniors, Chris Tate, Rod Gould, David Sipling; Super Veterans, Fletcher Watson, Joey Jones, John Reilly; Veterans, Paul Gowrie, Kevin Borley & Arnie Cliffe.

There has been a seismic sporting shift recently with the retirement of first, Sir Alex Ferguson and the news that Ian Coley MBE has retired from his role as Double Trap Coach for British Shooting. Both were true masters of the art of ‘man management’ although with vastly different styles.
Ian’s shooting career will probably never be emulated; his vast experience, steadfast love and support of Double Trap, officiating in the GBR team and playing a significant part in achieving two gold and one silver medal at six Olympic games, starting in Barcelona and now, we hear, finishing in London. I wish him well in his ‘retirement’.
