The award is recognised as the club's most prestigious award and presented to the person that the committee considers has contributed most to the club over the past year.
This year the award was made to club president and founding member Nev Brady, a fact shielded from Brady until he had almost completed his usual speech extolling the dedication and achievements of a proxy recipient.
It was an award well deserved and acknowledged by those present.
The Neil Rouse Memorial Shoot of 75 targets OTG was generously sponsored with a range of practical prizes by Pat and Tatia Jubb.
It was shot over three rounds of an eight station course that was set by Pat Jubb and his helpers and contained a good range of targets in both degree of difficulty and trajectory.
Visiting shooters attended from Cooma, Illawarra, Tumut and Western Australia.
Outstanding scores were achieved by Craig Field and Holly Gschwend winning A Grade and Juniors respectively and a number of shoot offs were needed to determine minor paces.
Pat Maher won the shoot raffle, however was unable to shoot the required number of targets to win the $500 jackpot and received the consolation meat tray donated by Bennys Butchery of Cobargo.
