In advance

We are nearly ready for the "off"! The "International Technical Officials" for the Commonwealth Games Fullbore Rifle events will gather in India on Friday 24th September. This group includes the Range Officers, Jury and the Classification/Verification Official. There will be a few days getting the CRPF Kadarpur Range set up and checked out, with practice sessions before and after the Games' Opening Ceremony on 3rd October. The Pairs and Individual Medal Events start on 9th October, with the 1000 yard final stages on the 13th. The Game's Closing Ceremony is on the 14th.

I hope over the next few weeks to bring you new and information about the Fullbore and whatever other Games' Events that we are involved in. My reports will, I trust, complement those from the Canadian Team which will be more specifically associated with the shooting itself.
