Meet the gang..... just some of Harlow Practical Club's members, starting with our Club Secretary accompanied by just some of his flock, that had no objections to having their mug shots taken!!
Hobbies other than shooting include Harley Davidson motor bikes and just to prove he's young at heart, Scalextric. It is either that or he is living proof that Scalextric is a far more dangerous sport than shooting!! His other interests include Astrology, Quantum Physics, and the cost of a packet of King Edward cigars!
Although now, officially a veteran shooter, he can still outrun and outshoot the youngest of competitors
Graham is approachable, fair, and thoughtful, he is a pillar of society and this follows through into the shooting fraternity. A "gentleman" of the shooting world. You can see from his picture that he is that "Father Figure", always able to offer constructive advice and guidance.
A L A N I Z Z A R D
I was born at a very early age, and since that time I have managed to live my life by strictly adhering to a few simple guidelines.
1/ Do unto others as they would do unto you, only do it first!
2/ WORK is a four letter word and should be avoided at all costs.
3/ The only good volunteer is somebody else!
4/ Mine’s a Pint.
5/ Every man has the inalienable right to whinge as much as he wants.
This philosophy has led me to the point now, where despite my 21 year old appearance I have retired from the rat race and face a life of leisure ( No I am not independently wealthy Just incredibly lucky).
Likes Wine, Women, Song and Women. Unfortunately I cannot sing, and am unable to get any women. Still at least I have the wine (Hic!). Dislikes Traffic wardens, Ex Archers who continually beat me, and the inexplicable such as. Why do Ruger 10/22’s work faultlessly for months and on the day of a comp jam at every opportunity?. Why is abbreviation such a long word?. Hobbies Ah Hobbies I’ve had a few but then again too few to mention ( see I told you I can’t sing). Being a sad git I seem to have worked my way through the following Custom cars, Kit Cars, CB radio, Computers, Radio controlled models (boats, cars and helicopters Now that sounds like a good name for a film), Practical Pistol, Mini-Rifle, and Motorcycling. Phobias Heights, and tall people ( actually I’m not afraid of tall people I just don’t like looking up somebody’s nose while having a conversation). Strengths Building excellent props for competitions, and being a fussy git so that everything is just so. Weaknesses Building crap props for competitions, and being a fussy git so that nothing ever gets finished. Future Aims To promote harmony throughout the civilised world, by virtue of superior Firepower.
Mark Bradley
Mark, is a happy go lucky chap. Nothing seems to rattle him and even at competitions he plays it very cool. He has a vast knowledge on many types of gun and partakes in many shooting disciplines. He was the clubs champion in 1999. He has certainly travelled the world, and in his early days could be found in the hot climes of Doha, in the Arabian Gulf. He is currently employed within the construction and engineering sector, being involved in some vast projects. One of his contributions includes work on the Millenium Dome (read London Wok!). In fact his company can hire out most tools!
Steve Chapman
Steve Smith
A man amongst men, a man of many parts, most of them fully functional if a little uncoordinated at times. Famous in Essex for being Lighting engineer at the Circus Tavern some time back (or should that be Infamous). And most definitely Infamous for being the one with the beard prancing about with an air guitar on Robot Wars recently (we nearly disowned and expelled him from the club for that one). Best features His eagerness to set up the stages on a Tuesday night, and the consummate ease with which he makes the coffee. He has a ready wit and always has an anecdote or a joke to tell, unfortunately his memory is completely fragmented and often has to rely on Michelle to correct his punch lines. Worst features Does sometimes tend to rant and rave (please don’t mention B&Q or ask him directions) although; I think that mainly he is quite good-natured. Please also be very aware of his propensity for playing practical jokes. His pyro-maniacal tendencies have cast a grave shadow over the population of Essex for many a November the 5th, as I am sure that the local Fire Brigade will attest to. Area’s For Improvement He has been taking evening classes at the local Poly in engineering practices, this was due to our prompting and his own inability to tell a fine file from a half–round bastard. Please refer to the slight modifications that scrapped his barrel 24 hours before the last competition Resolutions for the new millennium Investigations into the meaning of the word NO feature high on his list as he does get himself into scrapes by always agreeing to any suggestion made. Has also promised to Practice Practice Practice to bring his shooting up to a level of distinct mediocrity.
