FORTHCOMING TOURSGreat Britain Rifle Team - Palma Match 2007I am pleased to announce that John Webster, JeremyLangley and Nicholas Hinchliffe have accepted myinvitation to be Vice-Captain, Adjutant and MainCoach respectively of the Great Britain Rifle Team thatwill contest the Palma Match at Connaught Ranges,Ottawa, Canada in August 2007.In order to retain the Palma Trophy won by GreatBritain at Bisley in 2003, it will be necessary to selectthe strongest possible team. I therefore intend to forma new Palma Training Squad early in 2005, from whichthe Palma Team will ultimately be selected. I do notanticipate that the squad will exceed 50 in number.I expect to invite a small number of individuals whohave previously proven their abilities as a firer orcoach in a Palma Team to join either the Squad or theTeam directly.I also particularly wish to encourage the developmentof the next generation of shooters and coaches whohave the potential to win a place on future GreatBritain or Palma Teams. The Palma Squad willtherefore include six places, for one coach and fiveshooters, reserved for those under 25 years of age on1 September 2004. These reserved places will notpreclude any under 25 shooter or coach from beingallocated on merit one of the remaining 44 ‘open’places available on the squad.Anyone who wishes to be considered for a place onthe Palma Squad should write to me, as soon aspossible, but not later than 1 September 2004.Applications should include a brief shooting CV, withemphasis on their team shooting experience, andstating if the application is for a shooting, coachingor one of the reserved under 25 places.John BloomfieldUnit 2 Tan Gallop, The Welbeck EstateWorksop, Nottinghamshire, S80 3LWGreat Britain Under 25 Team to Australia 2005I am delighted to have been honoured with thecaptaincy of the Great Britain Under 25 Team toAustralia in 2005.The tour is likely to be three weeks long withprovisional dates of 13 June - 3 July. The estimatedcost will be around £2500 before sponsorship and fundraising. This cost is high for under 25s so I am lookingfor team members to raise at least £1000 each insponsorship to help subsidise this.My aim is to take a mixture of experience in the team,with some places reserved for new caps. Applicationsmust be received before 10 July.
