OF NRAPRESENTRESENTATIONTION OFNRA TROPHIESTO THE LORDMAYOROF LONDONby Karen RobertsonOn Thursday 3 October, the annual Presentation ofInternational Shooting Trophies took place at theMansion House in London. The ceremony ofPresentation of International Shooting Trophies to theLord Mayor of London for safe keeping dates fromthe last century; it has certainly happened since 1891and perhaps even earlier than this. The trophies usedto be paraded through the streets of London in an opencarriage and then left in the Mansion House.Nowadays the trophies are presented but thenreturned to Bisley. The National Match Trophy is nolonger presented due to the problems of transportingit to London; a framed photograph is used instead.Winning teams attending this year included the GreatBritain Kolapore team captained by Anton Aspin, theEngland Elcho team captained by Stuart Collings, theEngland Mackinnon team captained by John Jackmanand, for the first time, the Ireland National teamcaptained by Major Alwyn McLean. Also present werethe Athelings team with their Commandant MajorSimon Fraser, and the UK Cadet Rifle Team to theChannel Islands with their Commandant Major RonCross.The Presentation is a comparatively informal occasion.John Jackman, as Chairman of the NRA, said a fewwords explaining the historical significance of theoccasion, and extolling the successes of British shootersover the year. The Lord Mayor of London, MichaelOliver, welcomed the teams to the Mansion House,expressing his pleasure at continuing a traditiondemonstrative of the City’s continuing links with theAssociation. The Lord Mayor his Sheriff, MartinClarke, met each team in turn; the Captains introducedtheir teams and gave a brief history of each match andtrophy.Afterwards the teams were treated to a guided touraround the spectacular rooms of the Mansion Houseby the Lord Mayor and Sheriff.The Presentation ended in time for lunch in town. TheEnglish teams made their way to the HQ of theHonourable Artillery Company, responding to aninvitation regularly issued to follow the MansionHouse visit. The Irish, having no precedent to fall backon, repaired to a local hostelry to continue thecelebration of their win.Skittle & Practical ShootingWhy not come down and join us, everyThursday night.
