Johnson spends a mountain of his own time at the club and the Clubperson trophy is a well-deserved reward for all of his tireless efforts.
The award signifies the fact that clubs like the Dubbo Pistol one would struggle without people like Johnson, with the comment being made that JOhnson’s father Ray would be very proud of the honour his son has received.
In action on the ranges earlier this month, the weekend of November 26 got off to a steady start on the Saturday with the rifle club’s 50 Metre Rifle match.
Once again there was a mountain of placegetters with Geoff Luck 589 (575, 14) and Ned Worthington 589 (576, 13) sharing first place.
Second went to Pete Caligeros 587 (581, 6) and third was shared between Shane Lovegrove 585 (575, 14) and Bob Dowling 585 (584, 1).
Other results were Nev Scholz 576 (574, 2), Theo Scholz 581 (567, 14) and Greg Vincx is yet to be handicapped.
Sunday was the pistol club’s Christmas Novelty match and the day was a huge success with a full house on Range C.
The scoring system involved a complicated mix of off-pistol scores, handicaps, ands what felt like a multitude of other things.
However once it was all determined, Steve Holmes took first with 597. Second was Pete Howell with 589 and third was that man Luck with 587.
Other results were Jon Bohan 585, Laurence Campbell-Rogers 584, Bob O’Keefe 576, Tony McNaught 571, Nev Scholz 570, Clinton Towers 569, Rebekah Watson 565, Theo Scholz 553, Richard Wheatley 526, Joan Boyle 525, John Jones 501, Dave Coleman 495, Warren Johnson 490, Pete Caligeros 468, Mal Bootle 467, Jim Strachan 453 and John Cohen 367.
So December is now upon everyone and Christmas is nigh. Christmas Day actually falls on a Sunday so there will be no Centrefire/Sports or Black Powder matches on the 25th. The agenda for the rest of the month is as follows: Air Pistol was last weekend and also upcoming on the 15th, 50 Metre Rifle to be contested on the 10th and 24th, 25 Metre Standard Pistol on the 11th, and 25 Metre Centrefire/Sports on 18th of this month.
