held on Monday and Thursday evenings, and a 15 at trap was considered an excellent score.

On July 10th veteran skeet shooter Bob Hyndman registered his first 25 straight and young Bill Morrell broke 20 for the first time. Ten days later Hugh Simpson had his first 25, and put it together with another at both ends to become the first Island skeet shooter to achieve 50 straight targets. There were some new members, including Bill Morrell, Dawson Hughes, Gordon MacKenzie, Jim Hornby, Walter Carver, and Roy Coles, a former skeet shooter from the old Winsloe Club of 1936.

The 'Centennial' Shoot on August 13th was an outstanding success. A third set of traps for field # one was borrowed from the Moncton Gun Club through the kind co-operation of its president, Alex Ross. Merchandise prizes and badges were displayed in the clubhouse the evening before the competition during the practice rounds, and Bill Morrell and I stayed in the clubhouse all night to look after them. The Mailout of the shoot booklet and programme obviously worked, because a large group of visitors showed up to compete. Squads started shooting at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning and each in turn shot his first round on the manual field (with some grumbling about 'late' targets) and altered the other three on the electric release layouts. The 100 bird skeet race, and 50 trap, concluded as follows:
