It is with sadness I have to inform you that Alan passed away at his home after a long health struggle this morning.

Alan was a Life Member of West Wallsend Rifle Club . Alan was a great person and was a true Aussie and a great mate . He held many positions in the Club during his shooting days , He was Captain for many years and loved his work within the Club and the Club greatly . Alan was Captain at the West Wallsend Range when it closed and moved to Stockton. He told me it was one of the saddest days of his life. He won the Club Championship Trophy and was always a solid shot. In his last couple of years of shooting his health began to fail and this was the only reason he stopped Shooting. He still held the position of President during this period. Alan will be sadly missed by the West Wallsend Club. Our thoughts are with Lyn and family during this time.

Duncan Davies prays for divine intervention at Bendigo prior to the 1000 Yards Match

Alas the Shooting Gods did not listen and gave Dunc the usual pounding received on a yearly basis.

              With everything aside Duncan had a great Queens finishing third and topping the centre count for the three days. Dunc and I had a great three days and my claim to fame was beating my personal best at 1000 and winning two range medals.
