He did admit while talking to me that he was actually ‘born and bred’ right here in South Australia, moving to Vic- toria with his parents when just a boy - so don’t breathe a word - he actually is a ‘South Aussie’!

Sissy Thompson won the Women’s trophy with a 46/50, Ashley Hawker the Junior trophy with 49/50 and Ian Campbell took the Veteran’s trophy with his score of 47/50. Shot in conjunction with the State Double Barrel Championship is the Club Team of the Year award. This year, after having been placed ‘runners-up’ for the past 6 or 7 years, it was won by a very jubilant Team from the Lower North Gun Club. Team members were Ron Smith 48, Robin Fleming 50, Alan Vilcins 49, Richard Winckel 49 and John Byrnes 47 giving them a score of 243/250. Well done.

The Team: Michael Diamond (Men’s Trap) Qatar is quite a small State, some 11,437 square kilometres, with Tom Turner (Men’s Trap) a population of some 500,000. Qatar is situated in the north-east Suzanne Balogh (Women’s Trap) of the Arabian Peninsula overlooking the Persian Gulf (this small Diane Reeves (Women’s Trap) country which includes some small islands), backs on to Saudi Russell Mark (Men’s Double Trap) Arabia. The country in general consists of low, arid plains that Suzanne Balogh (Women’s Double Trap) feature flat, rocky (limestone) surfaces, and these are punctuated with some small hills in the western and northern area. It has a Graham Michell (Team Manager) desert climate of long hot summers (averaging 32 degrees C) and a short winter (averaging 16 degrees C) with an annual rainfall of The Team assembled in Sydney and Melbourne for their depar- about 100 mm (4 inches). There are some lush oases along the tures to Doha, Qatar, via Singapore and Dubai, flying with coastline but almost 50% of the country’s population live in the Emirate Airlines. The flights over were all reasonably comfortable capital Doha. Most of the population is Arab and Muslim but Per- and the two flights had both a 7 and 8 hour stopover in Dubai. In sians, Indians and Pakistanis also inhabit the coast working as Dubai, Emirate Airlines, as usual, booked us into 5* hotels, free of itinerants. The mainstay of the economy of Qatar is the produc- charge, with meals included. After showers, a bit of sleep and a tion of crude oil and that provides some 90% of the national good meal, we all met up at the airport for our flight to Doha, income (discovered in the 1930’s while the country was a British Qatar which was a one hour flight - again with Emirates. protectorate). Natural gas is piped to Doha and is used for cheap generation of electricity and by the desalination plants being established. In 1971 the country became independent from Britain and is ruled by Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani and the royal family. The major industries include the manufacture of fertilisers and cement and this is most apparent by the building of many large hotels (mostly along the sea front) and thousands of new homes in Doha. The Sheikh and his family are very sports minded and since the early 90’s have been very keen to have as many high profile sport- ing Championship events there as they possibly can - car rallies, soccer, tennis, golf, track and field, sailing, volleyball etc.- wishing to make Doha the capital of sporting events in their region. All of the big named hotel chains are already there and the one that we stayed at was the Intercontinental - only built one year ago and very, very nice - equivalent of a 6* rating. The host country supplied our accommodation to us ‘free of charge’. The food we had was of excellent quality, with assortments to please everyone’s taste.

The income from the oil has changed Qatar from an impoverished desert into a prosperous State with the money going straight back into the country. The road- ways are some of the most modern in the world, mainly Happy team in our sponsored shirts from Infinite Wool. freeways with plenty of roundabouts. The vehicles are all very modern (mostly 4 wheel drives and left hand drive).

Members of the Organising Committee met us on our arrival at the Doha Airport and they had us through Customs and our Police check in record time. Some of the people quickly learned that you were not allowed to bring alcohol into the country - it was taken from them but it was returned to them upon leaving. The funny thing was you could buy what ever drinks you liked from the bars at the hotels - but they were all very expensive - about $18.00 to $20.00 Australian for a mug of beer or a whisky!

The Opening Ceremony consisted of folk dancing, speeches, fireworks and a laser light show - plus a banquet. This was all very nice but the nights here were bitterly cold especially when there was a wind (around 30 kilometres an hour) and we had experi- enced this each night since our arrival. We in fact, did not stop for the banquet but opted instead to return to the hotel for dinner and an early night.

Sunday, 27th January - First day for competition in Trap and Skeet for both Men and Women. Thankfully the wind had dropped with the temperature in the low 20’s. Very blue skies. The day started with mixed results. Michael shot brilliantly to post a 75/75. Tom could not get onto the targets and ended the day on 63/75. Suzanne shot a 65/75 and qualified in 5th posi- tion for the Women’s Final. Diane had a bad start shooing a 17/25, finishing on 56/75 and was very disap- pointed with her score. The Women’s Final was a nail- biting affair with any one of the six competitors being able to win the event. Suzanne was most consistent and at one stage looked like winning but she had a broken target come out and then she missed her repeat target - this left her very disappointed. She then had Start of the final. to shoot off single barrel for 3rd place with a Russian girl, Suzie being victorious.

I went and witnessed a truly magnificent specta- cle. The new range, not yet finished, has 6 ranges, all fitted for Trap and Skeet. A common tunnel connects all of the ranges. There are huge lights for night shooting as it apparently gets far too hot in the summer months - sometimes up to 50 degrees C making it too hot for the Qatar State Team to do their training. The shooting range is one kilometre by one kilometre in area and will eventually hold all shooting and archery disciplines. The gov- ernment has spent $45 million on the clay target ranges. All of the buildings, when finished, will be as good as most 5* hotels and I am sure when the lawns and landscaping is completed, will be every bit as good as the Brunei shooting range.

Although Mr Jones’s credentials indicate that he support from fellow shooters. is an industrial chemist, he obviously missed his calling and should have been a New York Investment Banker. Within a very short space of time he became frustrated with ACTA’s financial reserves and man- agement and worked his way into becoming Chairman of the Finance Committee. During the intervening ten years he has revolutionised the ACTA’s finances to the point where not only was no money ever borrowed for the National Ground project, but he has taken the nett worth of the ACTA, of less than half a million dollars, after correction of asset values (which was the result of more than 50 years of trading) and almost trebled it to the approximately 11/4 million dollars that shows on the bottom of our balance sheet today. Thank you Bill. Future development? The sky is the limit. Projects currently on the drawing board are the sealing of our access road and the car park and further redevelopment of the recently revamped camping sites. The existing ten shooting grounds are to be rebuilt and standardised and an additional ten layouts added on the western end, accessed by a bridge over the main drain, which is currently our natural boundary. These improvements alone will make Wagga not only a show piece for the ACTA, but also the biggest and best Clay Target Shooting facility in the Southern hemisphere. project currently being planned is the establishment of permanent purpose-built trade display buildings, similar to those utilised at the World Skeet Championships and The Grand American Trapshoot. A new and bigger clubhouse is being considered, along with ISSF facili- ties and on-site cabin style accommodation. Even such things as a swimming pool, tennis courts, golf driving range and child minding facilities are not out of the question. If shooters continue to vote with their feet and support Wagga, nothing is impossible.

Conditions were an extremely warm 36 degrees in January when the popular Channel 7 challenge program “The Mole” filmed part of an episode in the current series at the Gold Coast Clay Target Club. Olympian Michael Diamond was on hand to teach contestants how to shoot “flash targets” and they were ade- quately rewarded for being successful to the tune of $1,000 per target hit if their non shooting partners correctly answered a quiz question. Not many collected the cash though, despite the expert shooting advice and some fairly simple questions. The Gold Coast Club became involved with the program because we believed that national exposure on prime televi- sion was a great opportunity to illus- trate shooting as a safe and enjoyable Host of “The Mole”, Grant sport. Such opportunities are rare as Bowler with non shooting unfortunately much publicity in the contestants. past has expressed an opposite view.

Local “directors” Tony Edgar, Willem Smits and Vince Vaina.

The involvement was not without some cost and effort and we would like to thank the Club members who donated their time to assist, the Sponsors who arranged the catering and the supply of firearms, namely Vince Vaina of TenderPlus and George Sckaf of Gold Coast Shooters Supplies, our own State Association - QCTA and last but not least, the ACTA for their involvement. It does hurst a bit when the gun weights almost as much as you do! We would like to be able to tell you when this particular episode goes to air but we can’t get that information at present. Guess you’ll have to watch the complete series weekly, commenc- ing Wednesday 20th February 2002 at 7.30 pm. We do however, know who the Mole is, but we’re not giving out that information either!

Happiness is winning “two grand”. Director Craig Meade lays down the law.

The club is located beside the Tambo River in Swifts Creek, a short drive to both Mt Hotham and the Gippsland Lakes. The Tambo Valley Clay Target Club is a very sociable and family orientated club, as can be seen from the photographs. Junior coaching and school events are doing a lot to promote our sport to the younger generation.
