A cold January morning welcomed the intrepid 9 shooters, some say that the festive excesses for some took some getting over, hence their non-appearance. I could not possibly comment. For the latter part of the shooting, some unexpected sunshine broke through, all in all a pleasant day.

 

Squads/stands/targets:

We had one squad only, mixing the singles and doubles shooters, all percussion. Two stands were used, all sporting birds from the skeet and ABT ranges. DIY trapping and scoring was the order of the day. The doubles shooters had some different on-report pairs this time just to make it more interesting for them!!

For the single barrel guns, Dave Elvin shot magnificently, only dropping one bird on the skeet and two on the ABT to take top gun on the day with 27/30.  Clare had an average start but despite a last minute run of five kills, could only make 2nd place. Mike too had an average sort of day shooting nine on each stand. Pete (SP) scored an eight on the first stand and started well on the second, but then missed all six of his final birds- what might have been Pete!! Dick too made a reasonable start with nine kills, but alas only five on the ABT. Blame it on the sun!!

Shooting their double barrel guns Viking Pete and Bushy both had cracking starts with thirteen kills apiece. The first half of the second stand saw Viking surging ahead of him, and despite a valiant effort from Bushy in the second half with his final nine birds all killed, Viking managed to hold his own and finished two birds ahead to take top gun. Well shot the Viking!! Tony had an average day with a nine/nine and was the only shooter to take that pair of pesky wabbits!! Well shot Tony!  Tim was struggling a bit today, scoring a six then a nine.

Some notable moments/quotes of the day:

• Dave E: “I ‘ope I shoot like that on Tuesday at the game shoot at Banham” - we are pleased to report that he certainly did, using his double flinter!!!

 

• Tony was trapping - “a C and D please Tony”, “a B and E?” replies Tony, “No a C and a D” the patient response, “a G and a B?” confirms Tony again, “ No Tony,  a Charlie and a Delta....!!" Thankfully we got there in the end!!

 

Next Meeting:

Saturday 4th February at Cambridge gun club. Club meeting so bring and shoot whatever gives you pleasure.

 

Mike “dabs” Wootang of Ashbourne

 

 

A cool, but thankfully dry and wind free, February morning greeted the 17 shooters. The afternoon’s shooting was particularly pleasant, with some fine sunshine which made it almost spring like. Dave E deserves a mention, turning up just to deliver supplies whilst obviously under the weather and then returning home to bed - thanks and get well soon Dave.

 

Squads/stands/targets:

We split into two squads, all singles in group A, and all the doubles shooters and two singularists (new word for the dictionary) in group B. The singles, apart from Graham who shot his flintlock, were all percussion. The doubles all shot percussion.

A welcome return to the “old concrete path” stands for the shoot, with sporting birds from stands 2,3 and 4 being shot. DIY trapping and scoring was again the order of the day. Some different and interesting targets were shown, with no wabbits this time which pleased many!

A notable target was bird E on stand 2, a fast L-R quartering away clay which beat many of us, no one in the singles hitting it more than once out of three, and only newcomer Little John in the doubles killing it twice. Needless to say, the afternoon session had a few further attempts on this one!

 

Singles:

The lower than normal scores reflect the testing nature of some of the targets shown. Clive and Ted suffered from the dreaded misfire which doesn’t aid good shooting - and Grahams trusty 'flinter' never missed a beat.

Both Clare and Martin got off to a cracking start on Stand 4 - killing all 8 targets, everyone else dropping scores. Stand 3 - Mike and Paul take over, only dropping 2 from 8. And finally on to Stand 2 - Mike kept up the pressure, dropping only 2 from 14 to take high gun on the day, narrowly beating Martin and with Paul in 3rd place.

 

Doubles:

A close run thing with only 3 birds separating the top 4 shooters. The simultaneous pairs on stand 4 particularly suiting The Viking and Derek, both dropping only 1 from 6 targets. Stand 2- Little John and Archie make good starts with 11/16 and 12/16 respectively. Stand 4 - fairly even with Viking taking 8/12 and John, Bev and Tim all on 7/12. Archie only scoring 5 on this one. And finally stand 3 - Archie and the Viking battle it out, both scoring 9/12 with Derek on 8 and Little John on 7. As I said it was very close, but the final scores showed Archie taking high gun over The Viking and Little John both in equal 2nd place.

 

Scores:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Averages:

Mike with +5 and chose the wine, Archie with +3 and Paul with +2 who chose the caps and chocolates respectively.

Mike “I beat Crixy at last” Wootang of Ashbourne

 

 

A pleasant March morning greeted an excellent turnout of 24 shooters. We managed to miss the forecast rain, which was a great relief, and there was even some sunshine which caused a few problems for some of the targets!

 

Squads/guns/stands/targets:

We split into two squads, singles and doubles shooters in each. Most of the single guns were percussion, however there is growing interest in flintlocks and on Saturday, Graham, Martin, Bev, Dave E all shot flintlock, as well as Paul R who used the opportunity to shoot his newly acquired flintlock!! Derek and SP Pete (Lt. Dan), shot BP cartridges in their hammer guns. Derek hadelected to shoot his hammer gun in memory of Nobby Clark, one of the club's founder members, who had sold his gun to Derek.

For today’s shoot, we shot at all sporting birds from the pond and main stand 2.The ‘B’ squad had the good fortune of Sandra trapping and scoring for them, the ‘A’ squad were not so lucky!

A good mixture of targets were shown, with several loopers which caught out many and which sparked an impromptu ‘how to hit them’ session in the afternoon for some. Several crows, the odd bunny and some tricky overhead targets were also present. Mike brought Big Bore Bertha out to play, and firing big loads, was ineligible for the averages. He has however laid down the gauntlet for this year’s National “Big Bore Bowl” competition to be held at Yorkshire next month.

 

Singles:

Some tricky targets kept the majority of scores down today. Martin, Dave E and Bev had their own mini comp in squad A, with Martin & Bev coming out with 21/30 apiece to take joint highest score. (We won’t mention Mike with the big 8, possibly he had an advantage with 2oz loads? Surely not?) Tosh and Dick in squad B had their own tussle, taking 3rd and 4th places respectively with good 20 and 18 scores. Good to see Dick returning to form. Dave Elvin struggled with the loopers and to put the icing on the cake, his powder flask broke towards the end of the session! Paul Revere shot a respectable 10, which he was pleased with for a first time out with a flintlock  and Graham scored another 8 with his. I’m sure he will get the hang of it soon! Carol, taking a break from her running, managed an 8. Simon’s son Sam, was under the weather hence his score, but I’m sure he will bounce back.  Get well soon Sam.

 

Doubles:

Again, some lower than normal scores, Archie couldn’t quite match his last month’s performance and Tim scored his usual. Derek and Lt. Dan, even shooting hammer gun, couldn’t get into the top 3. Ted shot exceptionally well to take high gun with 31/40. Viking Pete continued his 2017 rampage with a fine 26 to take 2nd place and Bushytook 3rd place with a 24.

 

Scores:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Averages:

Bev & Paul D (Snappy) tied for the averages with a +3 each. Bev chose the wine and Paul the tub of caps. We tossed a coin and Paul took home the Wooden trophy until the next shoot.

 

Next Meeting:

Saturday 1st April at Cambridge gun club. Club meeting so bring and shoot whatever gives you pleasure. I can’t attend this one as I’m travelling back from holiday, so if anyone would like to scribe a report for the day, please let Clare know.

 

Mike“let the cannons roar” Wootang of Ashbourne

 

 

On April Fool's Day we had a turnout of 23 shooters, which included one new member Tim, and two guests Helen & Robin from North Norfolk. We also had the company of Tony from Bushey Hertfordshire, who having shot clays on the Have a Go stand at Fenland Game & Country Fair, wanted to watch the process and see if shooting muzzle loaders on a clay range would appeal to him.   After the usual breakfast and chat we split into 3 squads and gradually filtered out onto our various stands at 10am. As the weather had predicted heavy showers, course setter Martin (ably assisted by Dick & Dave E) decided to stick to the three undercover compact sporting stands set up on  the ABT range, the skeet range and 'over the pond'!  Even though we regularly shoot on these compact ranges, many of the targets are changed regularly and vary from month to month. The weather conditions also play a part in the presentation of some targets. The ABT layout had a good mix of loopers, crows & crossers (including one particularly fast curling & dropping R to L). The 'over the pond' stand had its usual low fast  looper to challenge us, as well as an incomer and crow that if you missed, made a loud 'SPLASH' as the clay hit the water! The first bird out on the Skeet range was a high, fast R to L battue.... not enjoyed by many!! The intermittent bouncing rabbit also gave several of us a few problems! Visiting Tony from Bushey enjoyed his morning, and has asked us to thank everyone at Saturday's shoot for being so helpful and friendly and making his visit so enjoyable.

 

As for the results, almost everyone finished on a plus on their averages!!  Notable performances were from Viking Pete who put in an excellent score of 31/40 to take the High Gun for the doubles, well done Pete!  Martin's guest, Robin, shot a score of 25/30. Robin owns an 8b muzzle loading Zoli that he very occasionally uses for his pigeon shooting and wild fowling, but for his first time at using a muzzle loader for clay shooting Martin loaned him his own 11b Holden single barrel, which Robin shot particularly well to clinch the high gun for the single barrel. Martin, who also shot 25, did not compete as he was shooting his big bore. Congratulations to Paul D who shot a +6 on his average and to runner up Clive, who shot a plus 5.

 

After the shoot, we all adjourned to the clubhouse for a warm drink and sustenance where the day's winners were announced and prizes given out.  As it was April Fool's Day, as well as our normal averages prizes, Viking had very kindly made two special awards for the high gun winners - a very cleverly created clump of 'Fool's Gold'!! Little did Viking know at the time of donating these awards that he would be one of the recipients! I am also pleased to report that Robin, who won the singles, tells us that his 'Fool's Gold' has pride of place on a shelf in his lounge - a truly wonderful keepsake of his day!

 

On this, the 10th anniversary year of our Muzzle Loading Club, it is nice to reflect on why we actually do this? What pleasure do we get out of muzzle loading? Why do we bring out these old guns to shoot 30 /40 birds and then spend time at home cleaning them for the next time? Why are our hands and fingernails coated in engrained black dust? In a thank you ,message to Martin after this shoot, Robin and Helen summed it up when they emailed us to say -  "today we felt so privileged to come and spend time with you all today. We cannot thank you enough for letting us use your beautiful guns, again such a privilege, you can really feel  the history and magic. We both enjoyed loading them as much as pulling the trigger!"

Averages:

Paul Dixon (Snappy) won with a +6 and he chose the wine. Paul also takes home the wooden trophy again! Clive was next highest with a +5 and he takes home a tin of biscuits!  SP Pete chose the cartridges and Viking the bottle of champagne - our thanks go to Bushy and Ted for donating these prizes for this shoot.

 

Next Meeting:

The next shoot is on Sunday 14 May and for those who wish to compete, the Trevor Watling Double Barrel competition will take place which will be shot over 40 birds. If you would like to join us for the shoot and not take part in the competition, then bring whatever gun gives you pleasure - targets will be set for single and double barrel guns. It was good to see that everyone arrived early at the last shoot which gave us an opportunity to sort the squads out evenly, so thank you. We anticipate that we will divide into 3 squads again on the next shoot - so, if you can arrive by 9.45am that would be most helpful. We look forward to seeing you then.

Today's Club shoot included the first annual competition of the year - The Trevor Watling Double Barrel Cup.

 

This particular trophy was named in memory of Trevor Watling, an early member of the Anglian Muzzle Loaders, who suddenly and very sadly passed away in 2011. The longer serving members of our group remember Trevor with some affection, that is why it is always lovely to welcome Trevor's family to our shoot, and today was no exception. As always, Trevor's son Robert chose to shoot his fathers double barrel muzzle loader for the competition. Also, as what has become a tradition, following the competition the whole family presented the trophy to the worthy winner.

 

We had a fantastic turnout of 26 shooters on a lovely fresh Spring morning, of which, 23 were shooting in the competition. It is so encouraging to see not just our regulars, but new black powder shooters coming to shoot with us, and the old ones returning. It was good to see Bill again as he has not shot with us for quite a while, he was shooting a recent acquisition, a Pedersoli Mortimer percussion single barrel. Bill also brought along his very old friend Jon, who has very recently been introduced to the joys of black powder at Bill's birthday game shoot. Jon was shooting his newly acquired double gun for the very first time.

 

The shooters were split into three squads with the targets spread across three compact ranges, two of the squads were lucky enough to have dedicated scorers - a real luxury!! Our thanks and appreciation go to Sandra and Rachel for doing this for us. Martin & Clare had a delayed start after Clare locked her keys in the van - the only set they had with them that day!! Ooops! With the help of Ground Manager Jonno and his mighty DeWalt drill driver - the bulkhead was swiftly removed from the cab and returned back to its original position with some haste. Thank you Jonno!

 

The targets were varied and mixed on every stand, with the double guns shooting just two pairs of each before moving on to the next combination. A total of 40 birds were shot by the double guns, and 30 for the single barrel. High gun for the singles was Bill with 20/30, and high gun and trophy winner of the double barrel competition was Robin, after he beat Clare in the shoot off after both had scored 31/40. All in all a lovely day. Our special thanks go to Cambridge Gun Club who prepared the targets for us, thank you.

Averages:

Over half the shooters finished with a plus on their averages, with Paul R surging ahead with a plus 7 - Paul chose a fine prize of a box of 25 Black Powder cartridges, very kindly donated by Bushy. The next highest with the averages was Mike with a plus 6, he chose a tub of caps & a bottle of beer, kindly donated by Robin, and Archie on a plus 5 was left with a nice bottle of red wine.

 

Next Meeting:

The next shoot is the Recession Trophy - the half ounce! Shot will be supplied with our specially custom made scoops (thanks Dave E). If you have not tried cutting back your load, give it a go, you will be amazed at how well those targets break!

We are sorry to say that due to logistic problems we have been unable to do reports for June thru Sept.

A cool and breezy October morning greeted a good turnout of 17 shooters, and the cloud kept the sun at bay, which was a great relief. 15 of the shooters got their large pieces out to compete for the splendid big bore trophy, which proved to be a testing 30 bird competition. It was lovely to see the big guns in action, and various passers-by stopped to marvel at these fine old guns.

We split into two squads and shot 10 targets over 3 stands, all up the “the concrete path”. A good mixture of crossers, loopers, incomers, rabbit and a pair of particularly nasty quartering away birds on stand 1, which caught many out and with only Martin, Derek and Tim hitting more than 3 out of the 6.  The competition was closely fought, and calls of “here piggy piggy” could be heard from the contenders as the final birds were shot. Martin took the trophy with a fine score of 24, Derek and Mike not far behind with 21 apiece.

Notable moments/quotes of the day:

•    Martin’s unfeasibly large Vaseline tin caused much amusement and comment, none of which may be repeated here!

 

•    Bushy experienced a prolonged series of misfires half way the competition. Much prodding, nipple removal, adding powder through the nipple hole and retrying failed to make his gun fire. On finally pulling the load and tipping the gungy contents out of the muzzle, it became apparent that our Bushy had suffered a senior moment when it was discovered he had in fact loaded shot/ wad/ shot with no powder!! Little wonder it did not go off!! But a good lesson for us all: concentrate when loading your gun………………..

 

Next Meetings:

Saturday 25th November at Cambridge gun club, for the Hammer Gun Tankard. 40 birds, black powder cartridges only.  Closely followed by the Powder Horn singles trophy on Saturday 9th December also at Cambridge. For those not entering the competitions,still come along and bring and shoot whatever gives you pleasure.

 

The AML Christmas Meal -  this will take place on the day of the Powder Horn shoot  -  Saturday 9th December, starting at 3.30 at a cost of £20 per head - so best be pencilling it in your diary now!!

 

Mike “I really need to practice those quartering away birds!” Whiting

 

A very cold, breezy and bright November morn greeted a reduced turnout of 13 shooters,11 of whom competed for the fine silver tankard trophy, which proved to be a challenging 40 bird competition for black powder breech loading hammer guns. Not many nitro shooters out today!

We split into two squads and shot various targets over stands 13, 14 and 15.The scores were lower than expected, reflecting the good and testing mixture of targets. The simultaneous pair of long LR quartering away then dropping crossers on stand 15 were particularly difficult birds and caught some out, as did that long LR crosser on stand 13.

 

Clare’s Squad:

Martin and Bushy both shot very well and had a close fought battle between them, the lead alternating and never more than 1 kill apart throughout the entire competition! Ted shot well and was one of the few from this squad to get to grips with that long crosser on stand 13. Pete SP had a good run of 7 kills before entering OXO mode! Dick was hit some, miss some and just couldn’t get those strings of kills going. Clare shot particularly well with her single muzzle loader, scoring 19 good hits on rangy targets. Mike had a bad day to say the least, only hitting 1 of 8 birds on stand 15/2 and none at all on stand 13, much to his frustration. Was it bad gun fit or just poor shooting? See below

 

Bev's Squad:

There was a total of 6 shooters in this squad. Five were participating in the hammer gun competition and one outcast, namely Dave Elvin, who had decided to go round with his 7 bore percussion gun as he is not fond of breech loading hammer guns.

The three layouts, although in the sun, were very exposed and the wind was bitter, and that is my (Bev’s) excuse for cocking up the scoring. Poor Clive had to revisit one of the stands to complete his round and Dave found himself shooting two extra birds on the final stand to make up for two which should have been shot earlier. I overheard Paul Revere make some sort of cutting comment about letting a responsible adult do the scoring! Very hurtful!

The standard of shooting considering the ‘trickiness’ of the targets was very good with only three targets separating the highest and lowest scores. Viking and Clive coming out on top with a score of 24. Special mention must be made about Dave who shot an excellent 20 from 30 birds with his single gun.

 

Martin took the trophy with a score of 27, close runner-up was Bushy with 26 and Viking Pete, Clive and Ted had a three way tie for third place all with 24, with Viking taking it on count-back. Martin also took the High Gun Cup for the meeting, narrowly pipping Dave Elvin on  % score.

 

Notable moments/quotes of the day:

• Martin and Bushy observing Mike’s poor performance. Martin: “I think Hairy would have liked to have been here to see this” I’m sure he would!- mike

 

•  Pete SP after dropping his ear muffs into a puddle and then putting them on: “I can hear the sea!”

Next Meeting:

The Powder Horn singles trophy on Saturday 9th December at Cambridge gun club.

For those not entering the competition,still come along and bring and shoot whatever gives you pleasure. This will be followed by the Christmas meal at 15:30. Let Clare know asap if you haven’t already done so, if you wish to dine. There will be a “bring and take” raffle on the day too. HO HOHO

 

Mike“calm down and deep breaths”

 

“Mike’s Bad Day”

Was it poor gun fit or just poor shooting? That was the question. My fairly recently acquired G Hume 12b breech loading hammer gun of good quality, promised much, but with the limited shooting it has had since purchase, has delivered little! Following the morning’s competition, I decided to give it another go in the afternoon in an attempt to see what was going wrong. Very similar, if not worse, results to the morning, so even more frustrated, I packed up and had an early bath!

After a day or so of cooling off, I decided to try and get to the bottom of the issue. Ruling out bad gun fit first seemed the logical approach, as I knew the gun was slightly short for me in length of pull and it has a lot of cast off to the stock. My initial thoughts were to pattern plate it, but this has its own issues and can lead to false results. After some Googling on the subject, I came across an Australian guy on YouTube who seemed to know what he was talking about. He suggests a “quick and dirty” (my words) method of testing for gun fit by yourself and in the comfort of your own home. It seems quite plausible to me and I will share this with you.

Take a small diameter drinking straw, attach this to the top rib of your gun with one end at the breech face and the other towards the muzzle(s) (Sellotape or thin blu tack will do, it’s only very temporary). Ensure the straw is perfectly aligned down the rib/barrels. Close your eyes, mount your gun, open your eyes and you should see straight through the straw to your bead at the muzzle end with the barrels tapering away. If you don’t see this, you probably have a gun fit issue. Seeing one side or other of the straw indicates a cast problem. Seeing above or below the straw indicates a comb height and/or length of pull problem. Think about it, your master eye is the back sight for a shotgun, if you can see through the straw, your master eye must be aligned to the barrels in both vertical and horizontal planes. It makes perfect sense to me, but I’ll leave you to form your own conclusion, try it!

What did I see, I hear you ask? Well, I saw perfectly through the straw to the bead!! So I’m thinking it ain’t the gun, damn it!! I can only assume that my gun mount was inconsistent or poor for this gun, or maybe it was the cold weather and extra clothing, or maybe I was stopping the gun or just wasn’t moving the gun through enough, I don’t know, but at least I do know it was me and not the poor old gun, sorry Mr Hume (and others in my squad) for the verbal outbursts on the day!!

A bitterly cold, breezy and bright December morn faced a good turnout of 14 intrepid shooters, all competing for the fine Powder Horn trophy, which proved to be a challenging 30 bird singles competition. Again, not many nitro shooters out today!

This was the last meeting of 2017 with the Festive dinner to look forward to at the end of the afternoon’s session. We split into two squads and shot 13 different targets over stands 13, the compact sporting on the skeet range and the driven stand.The scores were perhaps lower than normal for singles, reflecting the testing and varied targets and, maybe, the weather played a part? but generally some excellent shooting was observed. I think we all struggled on the skeet layout to a greater or lesser extent.

 

Sandra’s Squad:

Our squad had the luxury of Sandra trapping and scoring for us, which was greatly appreciated in the wintery conditions. Young Alfie struggled with the cold, hopefully his Christmas wish list includes some warm shooting clothes!

So to the squads performances: Both Archie and Alfie couldn’t quite get it together today despite reasonable last stand scores. Dick, Mike and Pete all had an average sort of shoot, Dick and Pete not killing all their driven birds despite doing reasonably well on the skeet and stand 13. Mike just couldn’t get going on the skeet targets but came back on the latter stands. Phil and Tony both shot very well indeed, with Tony being the only gun from our squad to straight the driven stand. They both ended up with excellent scores of 21 and either one could, and maybe should, have just scored another point or two to clinch the trophy.

 

Clare's Squad:

Brass monkey weather again, a biting NW wind kept fingers frozen and noses running despite the bright sunshine. Our squad was quite fortunate to start our shooting in the relatively balmy conditions of the sheltered driven stand. We like to think these are the bread and butter targets, but only Bushy managed to straight this in our squad. We then moved to the more exposed stand 13 where most of us got our act together. It was pleasing to witness everyone taking their turn at scoring, exposed fingers operating the pencil became numb very quickly in these conditions. We then moved to the skeet area where there were some very testing targets. The wheels fell off Dave Elvin and Clare’s cart on the initial targets but they got back into the groove on the latter ones. Bev was particularly pleased with his score of 19 using his loosely termed ‘renovated’ 20 bore. Top scorer in our squad was Bushy with a fine 22. By the end of the competition we were pleased to get back to the clubhouse and warm up. It was even suggested that the Christmas dinner was brought forward!

 

Bushy took the trophy with an excellent score of 22, close runners-up were Phil and Tony with 21 a piece, with Phil taking 2nd place on count-back. Bushy also took the High Gun Cup for the meeting with 73.33% kill rate.

 

Notable moments/quotes of the day:

• Bushy "50% ain't bad..." (referring to a bit of OXO at Martin's expense!)

•  Tony’s great box incident, before the shooting had even begun!

•  Pete SP referring to the weather: “It’s on cold days like this when it’s good when you have to stop enjoying yourself  and retreat to the clubhouse!”

•  Alfie: “my feet are like blocks of ice!”

Christmas Festivities:

Following the morning's competition, we all returned to the clubhouse for a welcoming tea and warm up. Following trophy presentations, the “Bring and Take” raffle took place which was well supported and enjoyed. (The single malt was lovely, thanks Archie- Mike). Sandra was presented with a fine hamper for her support throughout the year. Thanks go to the Viking for sourcing the contents and making such a splendid presentation gift box. It makes a huge difference to the shooters to have a dedicated trapper/scorer, so thank you Sandra. It was great to see Derek and Little John appear for the afternoon and meal. Derek looked remarkably well and in fine spirit following his recent major surgery - you'll soon be brushing off the cobwebs form the old Ardesa and joining us on a club shoot next year.

Following the afternoon’s shooting, we returned once again to the clubhouse eagerly awaiting the Christmas meal which was excellent. It was so nice to see everyone chatting away to each other with such a friendly atmosphere. Thanks go to Jonno for temporarily returning to Chef duties and the Cambridge Gun Club staff for waiting on us - all very much appreciated!

Bev was also delighted with his specially-prepared ‘sweet’ after his meal, a very generous fruit salad.

 

Next Meeting:

Sunday 7 Jan 2018 at Cambridge gun club.

Club shoot, so come along and bring and shoot whatever gives you pleasure.

Remainder dates for 2018 to follow soon.
