This year's Newark BBQ was held once again at Arn Andrews Sunnybrook Farm at Bathley, near Newark. It was another great day. The Sun was shining and another very big turn out from people from five different PRA Branches.

 

This year's event included the bowls competition and the edition of a shooting stand. This comprised of two pre-charged air rifles, spotting scope, range finder, reactive and paper targets, and all under cover of a gazebo, including shooting tables and chairs, supplied by Mark Holding (Treasurer) Nottingham Branch, and assisted by his Son Jake Holding, were able to offer attendees the chance to try out on the shooting range. Arn had also supplied a BSA Spring powered air rifle, so the two types of rifle could be used side by side over the 20 yard to 36 yard outdoor range, which was open all throughout the day.

 

This year’s bowling competition was a very tight event. Last year’s winners, Newark Branch were once again in the final with the Spalding Branch, taking the title for two years in a row, at the end of the day.

 

As usual the BBQ and buffet were outstanding, and the raffle which was drawn at the end of the event helped raise around £200.

 

The Newark BBQ is always one of the highlights of the year, and this had been a great day for all who attended.
