Competition and the Banffshire Pairs Competition.
T.Blyth gained 2nd place in his class in the Inverness Clach postal shoot.

J.C.Manson and the Junior Champion B.McKenzie. T.Blyth, S.Mackenzie, A.Manson
and M.Hay were among the trophy winners.
At our AGM in early September we will be setting dates for Guest Nights, which
give people the opportunity to try out Smallbore Target Shooting – at these all
equipment is provided for a small fee, and ammunition can be purchased to shoot
extra cards.
If you are interested in attending one of these Guest Nights (at the Range at

Elgin Junior Ice Hockey club
Elgin Junior Ice Hockey club are
on the look out for new members and are looking to recruit any
budding young Ice Hockey players in the area.
The club caters for players up to the age of 16 and would welcome
and fresh interest but are on the lookout for potential players
between the ages of six and 10 in particular. Club chairman Marek
Durkacz said:
“New members must have a basic level of skating and the club can
do the rest. We loan equipment to assist new starts to save parents
paying out for equipment only to find their child does not continue
with the sport.”
The club was formed in 1993 and have three teams in the Scottish
League at under-12s, under-14s and under-16s age levels. Training
takes place at Moray Leisure Centre Ice Rink on Thursday at 7.00 pm
and Sunday at 8.00 pm and Mr Durkacz urges anyone who is interested
in joining to come along. He added:
“We are recruiting players for all age groups but especially
under-10s as they are the future of the club. We have just over 40
members just now and we have a total of five L2 coaches and five L1
coaches, who help with training sessions and attend at games.”
Joining up may be the start of a successful career in the sport as
the club has established a good reputation for producing players who
go on to play ice hockey at a national level.
This year, a total of 14 Elgin players were put forward for Scotland
trials and five still remain in with a chance of representing their
country when the final cut is made on February 10th. Mr
Durkacz stated:
“Last year the under-13s Scotland team
captain and assistant captain were from Elgin Junior Ice Hockey Club
and historically we have had players selected most years for the
national team.”
