14th June—County of Lancaster R.A. Meeting at Altcar. We won three events out of seven—the Fletcher Bowl (Marling conditions), Reserve Pairs, and Aggregate—and were not lower than third in any. 15th June—Yorkshire R.A. Meeting at Strensall. There were only two entries for the Cadet Cup—our "A" and "B" teams. The "A" team won. 9th-1 1 th July—National R.A. Meeting at Bisley.

In other events our under-strength teams did as well as could be expected. Our final position in the Ashburton was forty third out of eighty five, and in the Cadet Pair thirty fifth out of seventy five. Green Howard Cup (Individual .303 championship): S. G. Smith.
