July 1997 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 5 latematiorrat Junior Competition and Training Camp, Suhb Gernitlny - Wedne~cCay3j;OtkAprcil- After many months of planning, the last 2-3 weeks prior to our departure were filled with last minute organisations, making sure that everything was in readiness for our trip and finally the day had arrived. I was very honoured to be selected as the Team Manager by the buses which were to be our means of transport for the next 13 Olympic Athlete Program Committee to manage a combined days (VW diesel, not much power), and this all took about two hours. The weather here was much cooler and our little convoy, led by Claudia in her rented car, headed to Suhl via the autoharn. Suhl was approximately 300k away and driving on the wrong side of the road, with everyone doing 130k per hour, was a bit of an experience. The countryside was all very impressive compared to our flat wide open spaces. We saw dozens of deer-hides in the pastures that were cropped and everything was nice and green. Suhl is a very spread out old town, situated on the southwest edge of the Tliuringian Forest at the foot of the Domberg mountain with its more than one hundred year old Bismark Tower. With 56,000 inhabitants, Suhl is the centre of South Thuringia. From ancient times the history of the town and the traditions of its people have been closely related with the trade of gunmaking. We finally arrived at the Shooting Sport Complex at Suhl which caters for all disciplines in shooting. It was opened to hold Tl~rcombined Australian teurz in Suhl, Germany team of Pistol. Rifle, Running Target and Clay Target Juniors to the Suhl Shooting Complex, Germany. I was accompanied and well assisted by Tricia Van Nus (Rifle Coach), Vladimil. Galiabovitch (Pistol Coach) and our own Murray Alexander and we met up with Claudia Kulla (Mental Training Coach) in Germany. The Clay Target Team consisted of Nathan Cassells, Nathan McDonnell, Craig Henwood and Derek Bruce (Trap and Double Trap), George Barton and Kris Jones (Skeet) and Lisa. Smith, Susan Milroy and Natasha Lonsdale (Ladies Double Trap). We all met up at the Sydney Airport fiom our various States and boarded without any problems Thai Airways at 3.20pm, who were flying us to Frankfurt via Bangkok. The first part of our flight to Bangkok (8 112 hours) was lilled mostly by watching movies as hardly\ an), of us could sleep through the excitement of the forthcoming training camp and competition and for many of them it was their first long trip by air. We were all seated together as a group and it was a comfortable journey. We then had a two hour stop over in a very uncomfortable transit lounge at the Bangkok Airport fbllowed by another 11 hour flight, this time not so comfortable as the plane was full, getting us to Frankfurt at 7.20am Thursday morning, most of the team having managed a few hours sleep.

Everyone was very tired at the end of practice but we had to have an early dinner (a large group were coming in for a'party) so we decided to go down to Suhl for the evening.
