On Thursday 6th August the South East Zone of the Victorian Clay Target Association,
Victorian Schoolboy/Schoolgirl Championships will take place at the Frankston Australian

emphasis of the days activities are based on gun safety. Many of Australias top shooting

We appreciate that gun safety is being taught to young people in many schools as a normal
curriculum/sport activity and schools are using local Clay Target Clubs for practical
support.
This Championship brings together young people, only with experience in gun safety.
Low recoil ammunition will be provided. The Frankston Australian Club is providing its
facilities free of charge, in the interest of this safety program.
Please give this outstanding sporting day your consideration and hopefully your support
for the students who have satisfied your school, that they are able to compete at a
competent standard.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A
