ISSF - We wish to draw your attention to the London 2012 Olympic Games selection policy for the British Shooting Team, which is available on the British Shooting website. There has been an increase in the number of questions about selection and all necessary information is contained in this policy. You will note that the selection date for the team is May 2nd 2012 and no selection for the London Olympic Games will take place before this date. Please be reassured that It is not a requirement to be on either the BS shortlist, or the World Class Performance Programme, in order to be selected for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Helice - World Cup Helice - Rome - December 2011. TRIPLE CROWN FOR NATHAN HALES. After winning the World and European Helice Championships, Nathan went to Rome for the last leg of the World Cup. This enabled him to win the Junior World Cup outright giving him his triple crown for 2011, he is our only junior to have won all 3 events!
Dionne Rogers finished the year with a Bronze medal in the World Cup and in the last Grand Prix competition in Rome she won the ladies and came 3rd overall. Our adopted American, Cyril Adams, won a Gold Medal the final leg of the World Cup which enabled him to win the Super Veterans World Cup outright.

Helice - For the European Helice Championship to be held in Porto, April 2012, the Fitasc Helice commission has decided to have a trial shoot using a different format of shooting. The competition will be 30 targets, no elimination. This will be achieved by using five shooting positions; on each layout you will shoot ten targets within 5- 10 minutes.
The entry cost will be kept low as the club will provide only trophies and not prize money, however there will be an optional side purse available (as we already do here). There are no changes to the refereeing rules, but for this trial shoot we will no longer call "ready " and we will stand 25m in front of box 3 on stand 3. The 5 stands distance apart will be 2.5 m to each centre, the same as UT.
If this experiment is successful this could be the new format for Helice in the future. The World Championships in Rome in June 2012 will be as normal with medals and prize money and elimination.

All- The ISSF have cancelled the Cairo World Cup and rearranged it for 1-8 May at Lonato (also new dates for Cyprus GP, 27 Feb - 5 March) this will mean restructuring our calendar. The new (but probably still very unstable) calendar will be published as soon as possible.

UTR - The 2012 UTR ECH is to be held at Lonato, Italy on 15 - 17 June. The WCH is to be held at Club O Pinhal, Pera, Portugal on 6 - 9 September 2012.

ISSF- For those of you who like to plan ahead,the 2011-13 venues are here, 2013 dates t.b.a.
