The late Andrew Tucker, a previous President of the English Twenty Club, selected me for my first senior tour in 1995 when he took the first England touring team to Canada. At the time of application, I had to fill in a form which included a question about what I could offer the team aside from my shooting; the response of “my youth” (I was a mere 21 then) may have been slightly cheeky but I made the cut and was very proud to wear the three lions on my blazer. This played heavily in my mind when selecting my team and so there are a good number of youngsters and first caps in our team to South Africa. I have visited South Africa to shoot both as an individual as well as on England and GB teams andt whils the competition is always exceedingly strong, in particular for the International matches, the welcome we receive from the “shottists” is even more memorable. Over the years we have forged great friendships and we look forward to renewing and strengthening them. This year we will have the opportunity to shoot an America Match in addition to the Inter- national Protea Match and with a strong USA team also visiting we expect it to be a very competitive two weeks. I am however fortunate to have managed to persuade some experi- enced hands to join the youth of the team and we hope to rise to the challenge. I would like to express my thanks to the numerous people and organisations that have helped organise this tour; they are mentioned elsewhere within this brochure. My Vice-Cap- tain, James Lewis and Adjutant Emma Cannings have helped keep me on the straight and narrow and done work behind the scenes to make this tour happen of which I am grateful. I have no doubt that all the memories of the tour will be savoured by every member of the team for many years to come and as the departure date races towards us, we are looking forward to some South African sun!

[email protected] James learnt to shoot at Uppingham School guided www.lonestaraccuracy.com by Simon Pattinson who was responsible for four of this team’s interest in shooting. He has since won his “big five” matches badge including two success- ful Palma Matches. Recently married, he has managed to come away on tour not least because his wife will be away her- self at that time working in West Africa whilst James is in Bloemfontein. In order to fund these trips, James works for SAP as an account manager selling business software to Chris Watson with JJ Jackson, owner customers in the Financial Services and Telco and of Lone Star and his tie-shoot target Manufacturing industries. David Luckman, winner of the Governor General and the USA Championships 2012 Lone Star has been providing successful England and Great Bitain Rifle Teams with match-winning and record-setting ammunition since 2004. When the result of a match is measured in single points and less than 1% margin, it is vital to have ammunition you can trust and reply upon.

Jumbo, as he is more frequently known, was the winner of the Queens prize in 2007, he claims the winning cocktail was a martini and a clean shirt prior to the start of the final. He also won an indi- vidual gold medal in Brisbane in 2011, much to the surprise of his Palma team mates. Jumbo has recently moved to Kent with his young family and runs an investment company in the city.

Chris Belk Chris Belk first held aspirations to be a marksman when he single handedly shot down a German air- plane with a bow and arrow at the age of 3. Since then shooting at Uppingham School honed those precocious skills and in 1958, as Captain elect of Cambridge rifle team, he represented Great Britain and won the Canadian Governor Generals Prize. Arguably he is one of the youngest, if not the youngest, to have done this. Another unique record Chris holds is having made the Queens final in each of the last seven decades! Chris lives in Wales when he’s not camped out at the North London Rifle Club.

  • For the Glory of Sport
    For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
