Victor Annand Cup

Dedicated to safety officers and other range officials, the Victor Annand cup is presented annually in December to the highest scoring member of the Meary Veg team during the season’s first sporting shoot.

Setting targets and maintaining traps in all weather isn’t always easy work, and this cup honours those individuals who give up their time in order to keep the targets flying.
