    ANNUAL REPORT

    FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2014

    PRESIDENT’S REPORT

    In my first President's Report I had the pleasure of reporting on OMRC's third HM

    Queen's Prize winner (2004: Henry Jeens) and in this my last Report, I am absolutely

    thrilled to be able to congratulate his elder brother Richard on his success in 2014, as

    our 4th OM winner. Clearly dates ending in 4 are good for us, as David Richards won the

    Sovereign’s Prize in 1984!

    As announced last year, I will be standing down as President at the 2015 AGM. It has

    been a pleasure and an honour to serve as your President for the last 11 years – it has

    also been great fun. I feel privileged to be only the 5th President in the 88 years of the

    Club, following the illustrious names of Few, Vezey, Johnson and de Launay.

    A few thanks: no club of our sort can operate without a hard core of activists, and I have

    been blessed with many in that time; in particular I would like to play tribute to Tony de

    Launay, my predecessor whose wise words of wisdom have guided me throughout, and

    notably for his diligence in compiling and circulating our Annual Report; to Patrick Pelly

    and Habib Rahman as efficient and hardworking Hon Secretaries and Treasurers as you

    could ever encounter; and to our Captains David Richards, Donald Anderson and Patrick

    Pelly. All the members of the Committee have come to the fore when asked and I would

    like to thank all those involved in organising and providing the fare at our Annual Dinner.

    Lastly I thank you, the members, for your support and encouragement.

    Relationships with the School VIII remain strong. As I write, the College has been

    successful in a number of full bore matches at Bisley this summer, including a

    comprehensive defeat of the OMs in May. We wish Peter Finn, Martin Watkins and the

    VIII every success in the Ashburton this year.

    A final thank you goes to all my team mates who attended the Veterans and Annual

    Dinner last year to celebrate our fortieth anniversary of our 1974 Ashburton. That year

    we finished third in the Ashburton, our only loss throughout the whole year. Nine of the

    eleven members of that team were able to attend – an amazing percentage after so

    many years. We toasted absent friends, Richard France (Vice-Captain) and Coach

    Johnnie Johnson, both sadly departed. For the record those present from my year were

    Anthony Hamilton, Andrew Howes, Charles Holt, James Hardy, John Hayward, Habib

    Rahman and myself (all VIII), Toby Green (IX man) and David Richards (cadet pair).

    I consider that your Club remains in good health, run by a group of conscientious and

    hardworking stewards, with a good and sound financial operating basis, but we could

    always do with more active members participating at our events and with capturing

    more College recruits and bringing them in to the sport.

    For the future I commend to you Bill Richards, well-known, experienced and highly

    respected in shooting circles, and who formerly served as Hon Secretary and Treasurer

    of the Club, and who will be proposed by the Committee to be my successor.

    Charles Brooks

    2014 Annual Dinner

    Following the Veterans match we hosted 36 at our Annual Dinner at the British

    Commonwealth Rifle Club at Bisley. Our guest of honour was MC past President and

    current Chairman Steven Bishop (PR 1969-73). Peter Finn and Martin Watkins from the

    College along with 5 pupils who were shooting all or parts of the Imperial Meeting were

    also present. The fare was once again kindly provided by David Richards with help from

    Penny Brooks, and the drinks and wines by Dominic de Vere.

    One of the themes of the Dinner was the 40th reunion of the President’s 1974 shooting

    team at Bisley – the first of the VIIIs coached by Johnnie (REW) Johnson that started a

    remarkable sequence of 20 or so years never out of the top 10 in the Ashburton Shield.

    In 1974 we finished 3rd in the Ashburton, our only loss throughout the whole year. 9 out

    of the 11 members of the team attended – a fantastic turn out. We toasted absent

    friends, coach Johnnie and Richard France (the Vice Captain) both sadly departed.

    Those present were Anthony Hamilton, Andrew Howes, Charles Holt, James Hardy, Habib Rahman, John Hayward and

    the President (all VIII), Toby Green (IX Man) and David Richards (Cadet Pair).

    Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 10 July 2014 held at British

    Commonwealth Rifle Club, National Shooting Centre, Bisley.

    The President Charles Brooks in the Chair

    Present: D de Vere; WCP Richards; ERT Jeens; TAB Green; A Gill; JA Dallas; AJCB de

    Launay; CM Brooks; PD Pelly; H Rahman; DFP Richards ; ND Anderson.

    Apologies: RCT Jeens & JF Hayward, AF Howes.

    1. Minutes of AGM 2013: ND Anderson proposed acceptance of 2013 AGM minutes and

    D de Vere seconded. Approved.

    2. Matters arising: President reported on the funding assistance given by the Club to

    one of the boys attending this year’s Imperial meeting.

    Club ties: last year’s AGM had agreed ties would be redesigned. A Gill suggested the

    school leavers could be presented with an OMRC tie. Hon Sec said he’d been quoted

    £200 approx for a minimum order of 590 blazer badges. Patron to approach Mundays, St

    John’s of Woking.

    3. 2013 Accounts: President explained the slight deterioration in the accounts, being in

    part engraving, depreciation on the new LH rifle etc. Hon Sec added he was not

    concerned by the loss, the Club’s reserves are adequate, especially given the small

    annual fee, which is in any case voluntary. Approval proposed by WCP Richards and

    seconded by ERT Jeens – approved.

    4. Accounts Certifier: the president proposed the reappointment of Danielle Griffin as

    the Club’s Accounts certifier, D de Vere seconded: Hon Sec expressed his thanks to

    5. Re-Election of Officer’s: the incumbent President, Captain and Hon Secretary all

    offered themselves for re-election, with the President asking the Club to consider a

    replacement for him at the 2015 AGM. Patron supported the President in his desire to

    see the succession considered. ERT Jeens asked whether rotation could be considered as

    in other Clubs but the President suggested the OMRC might have insufficient members to

    make this viable. ND Anderson proposed, DFP Richards seconded the re-election en bloc

    of these officers – approved by the meeting.

    6. Re-election of the Executive Committee: CM Brooks, AJCB de Launay, JH

    Rahman, PD Pelly, DPF Richards, D de Vere, EC Dickson, A Gill, and RCT Jeens offered

    themselves for re-election. ND Anderson proposed that they be re-elected en bloc and

    WCP Richards seconded. Approved by the meeting.

    7. AOB: M Watkins has approached D de Vere and A Gill for assistance and support with

    the boys attending the Imperial meeting. This was welcomed by the meeting.

    Captain asked whether the Club should be entering more concurrent competitions. The

    meeting felt this was not appropriate.

    There being no other business the President called the meeting to a close.

    Meeting commenced 22:45 end 23:20 pm

    Richard Jeens (GM)– Winner of HM The Queen’s Prize, 2014 Edited from a piece written for NRA Journal, August 2014

    Once in a while there is a dynasty that edges its name into the history books. In top

    class rifle shooting we have had the Fultons, famous over successive generations. Of

    course there have been individuals that have stamped their names on shooting history

    for all sorts of reasons, Marjorie Foster, Keith Pilcher, Arthur Clarke and arguably others

    who were individual milestones in their own right.

    But here, like London buses, three come along together. Henry, Ed and now Richard

    Jeens. Henry won the Prize ten years ago: Ed was second last year. On Final Saturday

    2014 it was Richard who took the Blue Riband award. And if the bundle so carefully

    carried by Richard in the appropriately considerate chair ride to the NRA office was any

    indication, perhaps there may be another Jeens for us to watch in the future.

    The first stage of the Prize on Wednesday 16 July fell in the middle of some of the

    hottest and most humid weather of the year. A moderate left hand breeze kept things

    interesting but it did not prevent Ant Ringer (Uppingham Veterans) and Alex Coetzee of

    South Africa from each scoring 105 with 19 of their 21 shots in the central ring. Ringer

    took the tie shoot for the Bronze Medal and Badge by 25.5 to 25.2. The cut for the

    second stage was 102.12, with Richard and seven other OMs qualifying.

    The second stage took place on Friday afternoon with some stiff and variable wind from

    around 4 o’clock. James Corbett of Australia was at the top with the fine score of

    150.24, just edging out Frank Bilton of Leiston Patriotic Rifle Club, the first time that he

    had ever scored a maximum 150 (and 23 centrals). It was the right time to do it.

    Richard was third on 149.24, very handily placed as it turned out. He was to be joined

    in the final by brother Ed, Dominic de Vere and the Richards brothers.

    So to the final on Saturday 19 July, and a topsy-turvey affair it was. With only two

    scores of 150 carried forward and a spread of four points across the 100 strong field, it

  • 7

    had a little uncertainty from the start. Not only that, the wind was at first from over the

    left shoulder and then straight down the range and then back over the shoulder.

    ‘Interestings’, as that Meerkat might say. By 1000 yards Corbett and Rob Sandlant of

    Australia, Richard and Simon Carson (of Ulster) were all in the running, producing a

    frenzy of nameplate swapping tantrums on the RAF run leader board.

    With Corbett an early finisher at 6 off the race settled into a nail-biter between Jeens,

    Sandlant and Carson each creeping up shot after shot with just 3 points dropped. But

    the leader’s yellow star remained against Jeens, thanks to his better count of central

    bullseyes. In a nail-biting finish each of them held to the bullseye.

    Richard, Sandlant and Carson finished on 297 counted out by 44, 33 and 30 centrals

    respectively with Corbett fourth after his win last year. Richard, swapping rifle for new-

    born son (fast asleep all the while) was chaired off the range by a loud band and some

    very considerate bearers. It was a very popular and richly deserved win for the reigning

    World Long Range Champion.

    CAPTAIN’S REPORT

    Patrick Pelly reports on the Club’s activities in the 2014 season

    The year’s events kicked off in March with the Spring Smallbore Match at which a

    reduced team of five was completely outclassed by a high scoring College team.

    At the Fullbore Match in May a team of seven OMs turned the tables although to be fair

    the school were taking the opportunity to familiarise newer members with the Cadet Rifle

    and were unable to get everyone through at the longer distance due to marking delays.

    The Few Cigarette Case was won by John Hayward with 66.4v and Sam Day was

    presented with an OMRC Tankard as highest scorer from the school.

    With numbers boosted by the presence of the President’s 1974 Ashburton team-mates

    we were able again to field 5 full teams for the Veterans Match in July but despite some

    excellent individual scores results were disappointing with highest place going to the ‘B’

    Team in 3rd place in their event. Competition to win the Vezey Cup was hotly contested

    with four 50’s but in the final analysis Bill Richards narrowly won with an excellent 50.9v.

    In the Imperial Meeting we entered the usual 5 concurrent team matches made up of

    individual scores in specific competitions. These competitions are hotly contested by a

    core group of clubs and it was especially satisfying to win the Rifle Clubs trophy which is

    concurrent with Queens 1st stage and to take second place in the Bank of England

    (concurrent with the Grand Aggregate). These results show the depth of talented

    shooters we have in our ranks and follows last year’s success in the Marlingham.

    In September there was a large turnout for the Quadrangular Match with all four

    competing clubs present plus three school teams. The OMs secured a comfortable win to

    regain the Tankard (last won in 2011) and also a win over the school team.

    We fielded a full VIII at the Autumn Smallbore Match in November and despite high

    hopes of a revenge win were once again defeated at the hands of the College VIII.

    Father & son pair, John & David White, were the well-deserved recipients of the Buxton

    Plate, awarded by Bill himself.

    It has been especially satisfying this year to see some of our newer members

    participating and also some older ones returning. I do hope some of you at least will

    continue to do so. Score records for all the year’s matches and Imperial Meeting results

    are shown over the following pages.

    MATCH SCORES & ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY – 2014 Spring/Summer/Autumn/Michaelmas

    Smallbore Match v |The College

    Gunner Range, 1 March 2014

    Five OMs made the trip to Marlborough for the Spring .22 match on the excellent Gunner

    Range. Suggestions to shoot the more difficult 10-Bull targets were resisted with

    memories of our last thrashing two years ago still fresh in our minds!

    The College V were selected in advance from the ten or so boys shooting and Schuy

    Neuhauser set the pace with a maximum possible 100 with three others one-off on 99.

    Meanwhile top scorer for the Old Boys was James Plunket on 98.

    Inevitably the school maintained their winning streak at Smallbore as the full results

    below show. Memo to OMs: “Must do better in November!”

    OMRC 5-Bull COLLEGE 5-Bull

    James Plunket 98 Schuy Neuhauser 100

    Patrick Pelly 97 Sam Day 99

    Tom Durrell 97 Will Heseltine-Carp 99

    Mike Forster 93 Josh Meyer 99

    Habib Rahman 93 Thor Kverndal 96

    TOTAL 478 TOTAL 493

    School shooting continues in good form and in the safe hands of Peter Finn and coach

    Martin Watkins. This is well demonstrated by the fact that both Schuy and Sam are

    competing in the English Schools Home Counties Match while Josh and Will are

    representing the ‘B’ Team in the same competition. We wish them all good luck.

    Fullbore Match v The College

    Bisley, Century Range, Sunday 18 May 2014

    7 OMs gathered at Century Range Bisley for the Spring Fullbore Match against the School

    in bright and sunny weather with a deceptive wind, which not only caused fishtail

    conditions but also various cases of sunburn! The OMs were pleased to welcome back

    David Verner-Jeffreys who, though currently a keen smallbore shooter, had not shot

    fullbore since leaving in the 80s; he was accompanied by his son Robbie who is a keen

    target air rifle shot.

    Exams and the attendant run up had depleted the College team of its more experienced

    members but this was more than made up for in numbers by younger shooters. The

    School, under the careful guidance of Peter Finn and Martin Watkins, used the day to

    practice with the Cadet rifle in preparation for the Schools meeting. In any case, the OMs

    were grateful for the respite and were able to win for a change, and with a comfortable

    margin.

    Time constraints and the usual issues with slow or questionable marking meant that the

    500 yard shoot was unfortunately curtailed. Top scorer for the school was Sam Day with

    63.4 which earned him the Tankard, and for the OMs the winner of the Few Cigarette

    Case was John Hayward with 66.4.

    We wish the College team well in the Schools Meeting in July.

    The list above contains the names of OMs, pupils and Hon Members together with their placings in the

    prize lists at the July 2014 Bisley Meeting. The bulk of them are Target Rifle events but there are

    some Match Rifle events shown in italic script. With the exception of HM the Queen’s Prize, the Grand

    Aggregate, the St Georges and the Donaldson Memorial matches, the lists are based on the handicap

    system which ensures a proportion of X, A and O class shooters in each list.
