We were treated like Kings and Queens and would like to thank all four mums for delicious food, comfy beds and travel snacks. Hmmmm! Blair is beautiful the most beautiful range in the UK, and the conditions stunning. Gus pulled out a possible at 987 yards, Rosanne was on fire - except for her bogie 1233 yard range. Pete was in a league by himself (the bottom league) and Mike shot steadily and straight to be top undergraduate. All four of us are hooked by the individuality of Blair and have vowed to return next year.

CURA won back the Chancellors' Challenge Trophy in what was a very tense match for both sides. The lead changed at each range, with CURA's wind coaching edging us into the lead at the last range. CURA also retained the Humpry again, with some excellent shooting from both sides. Peter Seebohm top scored for victorious English Universities against the Scottish Universities. Ex-CURA member Duncan Sharp shot for the Scottish Unis.

Two teams were pulled together, the first was old Oxford and Cambridge boys, the second comprised of Oxford and Cambridge undergraduates. Both teams won against Australia's A and B teams, the undergraduate team won by v-bulls. Rosanne Furniss was top undergrad.

A tight match between the undergraduates competing for the Notman Cup. Novice Rosanne Furniss slipped from the lead with an untimeley miss. Old hand Mike Spencer shot very straight to get 75 9v (ex 75 15v) but was frustrated by Peter Seebohm who came off at the same distance with 75 12v. Out of 450 pts there was only 9 pts between them, Peter was the eventual winner.

A very fine holiday with everything from pitch and putt golf, wild west style Gallery Rifle, Match Rifle, Target Rifle and very relaxed evenings, complete with the traditional Captain's Curry. Bill Cowell ex-GB coach was also on hand to help.

Another large turnout, with 70 past and present members. Christ's College delivered a delicious five course meal. Our Guest Speaker was Peter Temperley who has been the Adjutant for the CURA in the Chancellors' for an uncountable number of years, he spoke to give thanks to Tim Elliott who stepped down from CURA life after 25 years in which he has been our main coach, and chairman and Senior Treasurer.

A very fine Dinner attended by six CURA members.

CURA lost the Chancellors' Challenge Trophy in what was a very strong performance from the OURC. Deprieved of the 25th consequetive and 100th in total combination we consoled ourselves by going to the Bullet Ball and having an amazing night. Oxford celebrated by going to bed early.

Peter Seebohm had individual success, winning the; Young Rifleman's Trophy, the Admiral Hutton Tyro Trophy, the Swansea cup, the Conway Fenton Memorial Trophy, the Brian Green Memorial Trophy and came 140th in the Grand Aggregate. He has since been selected onto the GB U25 Squad for the 2007 World Championships.

A mixture of rain and glorious sunshine provided a very relaxing holiday before jumping back into College life.

80 past and present members came to what was a delicious meal in Jesus College. Our Guest Speaker was Keith Haskell, a British diplomat and renowned amongst the shooting world for having shot his foot during a Match Rifle competition.

CURA had another spectacularly successful Imperial Meeting: we won the BUSA full-bore team championship for the second year in a row and CURA A and B teams came first and second respectively in the Universities' Long Range championship, winning it for at least the third year in a row.

In the Varsity matches, against Oxford, we won both the Chancellors' (TR) and Humphry (MR) matches. This is the 24^th consecutive year Cambridge has taken the trophy home. Well done to everyone who took part, and best of luck for next year!

In very blustery conditions, on Saturday the 24^th of July, Henry Jeens won his first Queen's Final, finishing with 291²⁵ before anyone else on the leader board reached their 10^th shot. Henry also finished in the top 50 of the Grand Aggregate, and won the BUSA individual championship.

Mixed weather again for Easter Bisley, but that didn't put a damper on the event. There was some very good shooting, and everyone improved a lot over the week. The Captain vs Secretary's match was a closely fought affair, but was won in the end by the Captain.

Fourteen members of CURA made the trip to the OURC annual dinner at St Benet's Hall, Oxford. The food was excellent, and the monks of the college made very good hosts. Many thanks to OURC for an excellent evening.

CURA put in another good showing at the Imperial Meeting for 2003. Some impressive shooting by all involved secured both the Chancellor's (23rd year in a row) and the Humphry. Both CURA and OURC made record scores in the Chancellor's Guy Blakeney has been selected for the GB match rifle team, and

Five members of CURA went to the Oxford University Rifle Club dinner on 24th November 2001. A very nice meal was had by all, including Chris "broken arm" Haley who still managed to raise a glass to all the toasts. A big thanks to the Oxford committee for organising the event, and inviting us "filthy tabs" along.

A successful Imperial meeting for CURA this year. Not only did we regain the Humphry Cup, we also won the Chancellors for the twenty-first year running. Individually many of the CURA squad shot exceptionally well, with Duncan Sharp, Hugh Lawson, and Henry Jeens all breaking their Tyros. Dan Williams and Hugh also shot for Wales, whilst Henry reached St. Georges Final, and placed in the top 150 of the Grand Aggregate.

A rather unique Easter Bisley this year. For once we didn't all get soaked through. The weather was very nice to us, and it only rained once! A pity the shooting wasn't so good...

In March 2001 some members of CURA teamed up with some members of the University Officer Training Corp to go to Oman. Part of this trip involved shooting various types of weapons, including long range sniper rifle, and historic (early 20th Century) rifles. As well as the opportunity to shoot, the team got to see much of Oman, including the mountain area of Jabel Aktar.
