Morning all.

Well I was left off the team!

My dear husband is the team selector, we had a couple of new shooters coming through, so he put them in the team instead of me.

I think he was stuggling with trying not to show favourtism? That's the only thing that makes sense to me anyway. He also forgot that I did have a title to defend??? WTF!

Never mind, the guy that won was pretty happy. It is good for the sport to have someone else win. He can have the title for 6 months. I will have it back when we compete for the title next time, this time I WILL be making sure I am on the team.

Morning all. Gotta go and renew my passport today. It doesn't expire till next march but you have to have six months leeway on it when you go overseas and there'll only be five left when we leave in October. What a pain!!! X-(

Oh, Mousie, what a letdown! I hope DH was suitably chastened when he realised what he'd done.
I'm not sure I could have been as gracious about it as you have been. :-x

Oh Mouse! What a dilemma for your hubby!!
What were the initials of the guy that won because my friend's hubby BW was down there competing this weekend?

I do admire your confidence though..."He can have the title for 6 months":^O

This weekend was a Great Southern event. So only teams from clubs in the Great Southern competed.

Your friends hubby will be coming down for the Great Southern Prize Meeting in Albany next fortnight?

I am Secretary of the association, so will be flat out that weekend, as well as trying to shoot as well.

I didn't comment at the time. It wasn't the place. My only comment at the time was "Are you sure?" It wasn't the place to do it on the range.

I did query his motives on the trip home, and did remind him that the trophy has been mine for the last 3 years, and this one was supposed to be mine as well. If someone else wins it, it should be because they have beaten me.

He told me he forgot about that part.:O He was focused on putting a team together.
