I still can’t believe they did Laurie like that in DBD. Jamie Lee Curtis ma’am I am so sorry.

And while I’m at it, why did they add Pinhead to the game but no Kirsty Cotton? Hands down one of my favorite Last Girls

Also Rigg should have been in the Saw Chapter instead of Tapp - he’s in more of the movies and he’s a more memorable character. (DBD Tapp also just doesn’t look like Danny Glover.)

And lastly of course WHY the hell did they add remake Freddy to the game instead of the OG Freddy? Why no Nancy? (The answer is probably licensing but... 😭)

JANUARY 2023

THE RIB PAGE

Happy New Year babies!!!!

*****

Billy Porter has been added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

*****

Predictors are saying that book stores are making a comeback and that mocktails will be big in 2023. The reasoning is that people drank way too much during Covid and also discovered they like REAL books. High -end dive bars and jello shots are also trending. It also seems that we have a bit of a 70’s revival going on.

*****

The new USPS stamps for 2023 have been revealed: Look for John Lewis, Tomie dePaula, the Everglades, skateboard art, life magnified, bridges and the Northern Cardinal.

*****

Days alert: I am miserable about Xander and Sarah. And nobody knows what to think of this shady Eric. Is it Eric? Has he just plain had enough of the good guy image? Samantha needs to come to town and be an angel. I mean it would be great cuz you could never trust it. So glad that Roman and Kate are together but let’s give them a real story!! Let’s not push Abe and Paulina too far in the background. We all love them!!!!!!

*****

Sexual assault news: Steven Tyler has been accused of sexual assault of a minor.** Andrew Tate, an influencer, kickboxer, reality show dude and his brother, Tristan were arrested for human trafficking. They are suspected of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create porn to sell.

*****

A new test can detect 20 different kinds of cancer with 1 blood sample.

*****

With so many movies making it seem like everybody wants a ride in Santa’s sleigh, I guess there should be more amusement rides like that.

*****

Word is that Election is back in Tracy Flick can’t win.

*****

Variety named Psycho the best movie of all time. I have been saying that for years. I realize there are many important films but I can think of nothing that changed the game like this one.

*****

The DNC has replaced Iowa with South Carolina as the first primary State.** The new DNC chair in the house is Hakeem Jeffries.

*****

Dolly’s Magic Mountain Christmas. Bless her heart.

*****

I guess Q-Elon just wanted an all -out already popular site to spread their propaganda. He loves diet coke too. What is in that shit? ** Musk is no longer the world’s richest man.

*****

The singers from the Charlie Brown Christmas show were finally given credit and paid some back pay!! It’s about time.

*****

Warnock won in Georgia.

*****

Trump’s company was found guilty on 17 counts of fraud. ** Trump is selling virtual cards with his picture for $99 a pop.

*****

Look for Donald Glover as Hypno- Hustler, Antoine Desloin with a script written by Myles Murphy.

*****

Sometimes I am astonished at how big the Hallmark movies have become. I don’t think I get it.

*****

The owner of Thomas Murray woodworking has been arrested for multiple counts of fraud for services never performed.

*****

Time’s person of the year is Volodymyr Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine. Zelensky came to Washington and visited Biden. The Ukraine Pres gave a speech which was mostly well received. Pelosi looked like she was going to eat him alive. Republicans in the house will probably try to stop money from going to the cause.

*****

Leslie Jones, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, Jordan Klepper and Roy Wood Jr. Will fill in as Trevor Noah leaves the Daily Show. Who will finally be the next host?

*****

I really miss the show Stumptown!!

*****

Some cheap rags are reporting that the Idaho murders are part of some new Manson loving family. In fact Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murder of 4 in Idaho.

*****

The numbers are coming out and about twice as many republicans died from Covid than Democrats.

*****

CULTURE RECOVERY FUND GRANTS HEXHAM ABBEY FUNDS FOR ESSENTIAL ROOF REPAIRS

We are delighted to announce we have been successful in a bid to help fund essential roof repairs to the Abbey. The worst affected areas of the roof; the Chancel East End, North Transept and Nave North Aisle will all have major repairs works undertaken, securing the building for future generations. The current slate roof coverings are in poor, deteriorating condition and over the past decade have required continual repairs to ensure the building remains wind and water tight.

Just under £357,000 has been awarded for the roof project, meaning works undertaken will include:

- The Westmorland slate and Welsh slate coverings will be carefully removed

- Removal of failed fixings and battens

- Repair and treatment of any decayed and infested exposed timber work

- Formation of new treated counter and tiling batten structure with breather membranes

- Re-laying of the salvaged existing slates

- Renewal and repair of the failed lead items.

The risk of not carrying out the work is that timbers will likely decay and rot, causing irrevocable damage to the medieval roof.

The Rev'd David Glover has said:

"We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from Historic England for just under £357,000 to enable repairs to the roof. The grant from Historic England will meet just under 80% of the cost of the works and the PCC is hugely grateful to the Hexham Abbey Restoration Trust for meeting the remaining amount.

This is great news for us because raising money to repair a roof would normally be very challenging and it has been a superb effort, led by Richard Thornton, Cath Newson and Kirsty Wills, that has enabled us to win this grant. Well done to them – and thank you!

This does, however, mean that the Abbey will need to be closed to all activities from 4th January – 31st March 2021. This is because the Abbey will need to be protected from the dust that will be created by disturbing the roof and, therefore, pretty much wrapped in plastic sheeting. During this time, we will make extensive use of the Priory Building, and especially the Great Hall, for our services and activities and the café and shop will remain open. The terms of the grant mean that the roof work should be completed by the end of March and we can look forward to being back in the Abbey for Easter. I do appreciate that we will, again, miss being in the Abbey Church but this is a fantastic opportunity to complete the first stage of our roof refurbishment, which is vital if we are to ensure the long term viability of the Abbey.

If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to speak to me or to a Churchwarden."

Oxford Brookes University spotlights 11 student architectural projects

A workspace on the limestone coast of Majorca and the headquarters for the Wildlife Trust within a disused industrial site feature in Dezeen's latest school show from students at Oxford Brookes University.

Also included is a council-funded facility for repurposing local waste and a co-living space informed by the design of high streets.

Oxford Brookes University

School: School of Architecture Courses: BA (Hons) Architecture and BA (Hons) Interior Architecture Tutor: Jane Anderson, undergraduate programme lead

School statement:

"Welcome to Oxford Brookes University's School of Architecture. Presented is a compact showcase of our Undergraduate Students. It brings together student work from across all years and programmes. The main exhibition celebrates our students' achievements this year. It is joyful, innovative, thoughtful and stunning.

"The School of Architecture is a vibrant community of staff and students located in the historical and culturally diverse city of Oxford. There is no house style at Oxford Brookes School of Architecture. Instead, you are encouraged to experiment and discover your own.

"Our undergraduate programmes include a RIBA part 1 BA (Hons) Architecture, ARB and LAM accredited course and a BA (Hons) Interior Architecture course. Both of our undergraduate courses have an affiliated association with the ACSA. Based in the historic city of Oxford, our BA courses will allow you to challenge, explore and develop not only you as an individual but also your portfolio. Our students are involved in many different live projects, from our OB1 live to designing an Innovation Hub at John Radcliffe hospital.

"Students explore both old and new challenges from around the world in their work. Here you can find our Live Projects that work with local communities, Architecture that explore tectonic and human relations through film and making, our crucial work in Emergency Practices and Resilience, as well as our expertise in Sustainability. "Everyone worked so hard this year, and we're so proud of what we've accomplished. The umbrella for all work is a sensibility towards place, people and planet. We hope you enjoy the show."

Working Retreat by Helena Gatland

"Working Retreat by Helena Gatland is a modest stone dwelling and workspace nestled into the strata of the limestone coast of Majorca. The stepping and terracing of spaces both inside and out encourage intimate relationships to the landscape and informal semi-outdoor living and working.

"In Unit A, we have a continuing fascination with the landscapes, the climate and the material of place. Throughout the world, the various intersection of these elements generates unique building cultures, distinct vernaculars and local character. Be it the city outside our doorstep or a far-flung island, we find these basic factors to be elemental drivers for architecture."

Student: Helena Gatland Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutor: Tom Randall-Page and Theo Molloy

Wildlife Trust by Luke Anderson

"Luke Anderson has designed a new headquarters for the Wildlife Trust on a disused industrial site situated on the banks of the Thames in Oxford. The biophilic scheme aims to bring users closer to the environments and wildlife they are trying to protect. "

Student: Luke Anderson Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Aditya Aachi and Nathan Breeze

The Herbal Apothecary by Gabe Edyvean-Heard

"The power of stories can transform the world. They bring us into contact with worlds unknown to us and open our eyes to possibilities not yet imagined. For us, as designers, compelling ways of telling tales are the tools we use to powerfully communicate our ideas.

"As architects, we are storytelling dreamers, we imagine a building, and then we will see it into the present through our drawings, written words, spoken words, sketches and hand gestures. Our students, like Gabe Edyvean-Heard, tell stories through their architecture."

Student: Gabe Edyvean-Heard Course: BA (Hons Architecture) Tutors: Hannah Durham and Tom Sykes

The Green Line by Dassa Shalev

"The project emerged from deep analysis of the culturally contested context in the Old Town of Nicosia and aims to unify the Cypriot communities by bringing agriculture and farming into the city centre.

"This includes a residential complex: private apartments shared living areas and a greenhouse for the farmers and their families. By encouraging bi-communal living and working, the project aims to break down barriers and misconceptions between the communities.

"The bridge supports an infrastructure of planting, potable water and electricity, that can be extended throughout the buffer zone and across the island, whilst physically reconnecting the two sides."

Student: Dassa Shalev Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Melissa Kinnear and Rob Goacher

Treasure Yard by Ole Sund

"This proposal looks at developing a Council-funded facility for repurposing local waste in public use workshops. Industrialisation has left us big cities, factories, canals and railroads. Post-war global capitalism has added high rises, airports, highways and glass fibre cables.

"The Westway in Notting Hill is an excellent example location to explore what infrastructure we will leave behind. Europe's biggest purpose-built flyover is currently under review. Our aim is to design the supporting infrastructure needed to make the Westway area more healthy, accessible, and resilient for the immediate and long term future."

Student: Ole Sund Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Margit Kraft and Anastasia Glover

Lichen Sinus Clinic by Patrick Kotowski

"This project is an accumulation of lichen, smell, water, minimalist design and health. One of the most underappreciated luxuries we have is the ability to smell. Some people don't, either through Covid-19 or another condition.

"The Lichen Sinus Clinic is the symbolic reflection of the multi-organism, lichen. It has the ability to purify the local condition for optimal biological growth and is a sign of ideal conditions.

"Heating local, freshwater to create steam indoors allows the patient's blocked sinus to open once again, or for the first time, through the experience of a 'clean line', symbolic architecture."

Student: Patrick Kotowski Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Delfina Bocca and Amelia Vilaplana

Dionysian Indulgence by Marco Nicholas

"Continuing Unit G's fascination for unexpected stories revealed by intense observation and iterative design, the projects explore the extraordinary in the ordinary. Concepts that inspire joy and delight while considering how architecture carries a narrative beyond utility to reflect, respond, laugh, cry, shout, rage, sing, or protest at our times and society.

"On the surface, Marco Nicholas' 'Dionysian indulgence' is a departure lounge for passengers of Oxford's Gloucester Green bus station. But once inside, the architecture encourages visitors to overindulge, become increasingly detached from their reality and routines, succumb to their Dionysian impulses and miss their bus!"

Student: Marco Nicholas Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Toby Smith and Mike Halliwell

The Self Build CoOp by Fergus Adam Smith

"The Self-Build CoOp is a new typology of co-living specific to the high street, inspired by the functions of a public house. The CoOp playfully creates new social habits and more diverse uses along the high street whilst also delivering on housing demand in the city.

"Unit H is focused on the city as a never-ending conversation, a place of conflict and resolution, where people's ideas are tested and nurtured, adopted and displaced. Not a place to be rationalised, but a tangled dialogue that architects can learn to negotiate.

"This year, we investigated the role architecture and design can play as the mediator between local eccentricities, idiosyncrasies and perceptions, in conflict with national/global trends. Driven by the emergence of the experience economy, we explored how an architectural ecology of 'amusement' could begin to take priority in our cities."

Student: Fergus Adam Smith Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Felicity Barbur & Gareth Marriot

Amphibious Hydrological Dwelling by Oli Rash

"Rash's mechanical brewery project provides an intelligent and highly sensitive response to the local historical, physical and social context of Norwich, located by the River Wensum and within an ex-industrial area of the city. His proposal draws upon the brewing history of the local area, intricately connecting the processes of making lambic beer and fishing.

"In addition to providing an educational environment in which these processes are made visible to the public, and local communities, his intensely detailed and exceptionally well-researched proposal engages with the wider ecology of Norfolk, where local farmers share their growing, fertilisation and harvesting procedures in exchange for spent grain, a byproduct from the brewing process, which can be used for animal feed."

Student: Oli Rash Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Emma-Kate Matthews and Kirsty McMullan

Reimagined Institute for Contemporary Arts by Francesca Adorni Braccesi Chiassi

"One of the most significant innovations in eighteenth-century leisure was the pleasure garden: a dedicated outdoor space for entertainment. London's pleasure gardens defined the city’s night-life in the 18th and 19th centuries.

"They were sites for music, dancing, eating and drinking, regular fireworks, operas, masquerades and illuminations. Approaching Vauxhall, Unit K was seeking to unearth the layers of the lost city as well as the living one, and re-establish a space for public celebration, starting by collectively designing structures for an open-air performance, and later developing it into a new kind of cultural or performance venue or institution."

Student: Francesca Adorni Braccesi Chiassi Course: BA (Hons) Architecture Tutors: Marko Milovanovic and Nichola Barrington-Leach

A Co-Living Sanctuary-Designing for Spiritual Wellbeing by Holly Moroney

"This project is a conversion of two semi-detached houses in Jericho, Oxford into Co-Living shared accommodation.

"The brief aims to appropriate a relatively new housing typology (Co-Living) in the context of a deliberate rehabilitation of existing housing stocks. The transformation should substantially increase the density of occupation while providing a suitable alternative approach to living arrangements with its blend of private and collective spaces structured around shared activities.

"Domesticity, in this case, is explored as a tool to reach a higher level of spiritual wellbeing. The technical considerations and design strategies aim to provoke a higher level of wholeness and enriched lifestyles between the users. The concept of 'mindful moments' interprets into the design as spaces to contemplate, rest, and re-connect to the present; alone or with others."

Student: Holly Moroney Tutors: Andrea Placidi & Orit Sarfatti Course: BA (Hons) Interior Architecture

JAN MOIR: My heart sinks just a little at this BBC Girl Power

For the first time, a flagship BBC politics programme will be fronted by three women. Emily Maitlis, Kirsty Wark and Emma Barnett are the all-female presenting team on BBC2’s Newsnight.

‘Boom. Let’s do this,’ Emma said when the news was announced.

This gave the impression the plucky threesome were girding their loinettes for some kind of battle, when the truth is the war has already been won.

In Beeb Central, the Time of Men — the old order of broadcasting patriarchy — is going, going, gone; replaced with furious alacrity by an illustrious regiment of women.

Leading men across all spheres, from showbiz to politics, are falling like kneecapped dominoes.

Emily Maitlis (pictured), Kirsty Wark and Emma Barnett are the all-female presenting team on BBC2’s Newsnight

There is a female Doctor Who and a toothsome female duo presenting Strictly Come Dancing, the Beeb’s most popular light entertainment show. Female DJs have replaced Chris Evans and Simon Mayo on Radio 2, while the golden but entitled Age of the Dimblebys is crumbling into dust.

BBC1’s Question Time David has been replaced by Fiona Bruce, while the successor to Radio 4’s Any Questions Jonathan has yet to be announced, but the smart money is on A (for Any) Woman — quite possibly Woman’s Hour’s Jane Garvey, or Fi Glover of the station’s The Listening Project.

From now until for ever, it seems every high-profile onscreen appointment will be given to a her, not a him, in this brave new broadcasting She-domain.

My heart should sing at this display of raw female power yet, instead, it sinks. Just a little — a dip, not a plunge. But the trajectory is definitely downwards.

It’s not that I object to the promotion of this trio of talented Newsnight women, each at the top of her game in myriad brilliant ways.

No, it’s more that the BBC’s response to accusations of gender imbalance and its protracted gender pay-gap dispute has been so clumsy, so silly and, ironically, so devoid of fairness and equality.

For there is nothing positive about positive discrimination. All these well-meaning attempts to end discrimination simply end up with more discrimination.

Andrew Neil, by far the best political interviewer across the BBC network, will step down from his BBC1 This Week programme in July

At the BBC, a sometimes flawed meritocracy has been replaced by something far, far worse; blunderbuss gender politics in a workplace where white, middle-class males are treated like lepers.

Take Andrew Neil, by far the best political interviewer across the BBC network, who will step down from his BBC1 This Week programme in July — probably in exasperation at being continually shuffled off into a late-night ‘graveyard slot’.

BBC Director of News Fran Unsworth then cheerily said she would axe the show because ‘we couldn’t imagine it’ without Neil.

If she’s such a fan, why has the old bloodsucker been kept in his late-night coffin all these years?

Neil is still appearing in his lunchtime Politics Live show. Yesterday, he ticked off the voluble Remainer MP for Broxtowe, saying: ‘This is not the Anna Soubry Hour. I think you have had more than a fair say.’ Authoritative yet still polite, a first-class act in a second-class slot.

Elsewhere, a traineeship scheme for Radio 1’s Newsbeat is only to take black, Asian, mixed ethnicity or lower socio-economic applicants.

This means applications from ambitious middle-class white girls — and particularly boys — would go in the bin. Fair enough, you might think.

Perhaps it’s time for men to suffer and understand what it feels like to be marginalised, sidelined and overlooked just because of their sex.

Imagine how Emily Maitlis must have felt on discovering that fellow Newsnight presenter Evan Davis, a broadcaster not fit to clean her over-the-knee boots, was paid a third more for doing the same job.

Clearly there has been a gender pay imbalance at the BBC, just like the one in society. Maybe it is true that, for too long, power and equality were denied to women at the BBC. Yet certain kinds of privilege and bias still have their place.

For Emily, Kirsty and Emma are a certain kind of BBC woman. Shiny of hair and blue of stocking, they are all good middle-class gels who went to posh schools (two of them fee-paying), then good universities.

Most importantly, I’ll wager they are all Left-leaning liberals with Guardianista sensibilities running through them. And if any of the trio isn’t a dyed-in-the-cashmere-wool Remainer, I’ll join the Brexit Betrayal March myself.

Which suggests BBC bosses are keen on diversification in all its forms, but only in areas where it suits them.

It would be impossible to imagine a Right-leaning, Brexit-supporting female broadcaster — Julia Hartley-Brewer, for example — even being considered for a Newsnight job.

And when I interviewed Sky TV’s Kay Burley recently, she said that as a working-class girl from Wigan who left school after her O-levels, she ‘didn’t have the right accent or education to work at the BBC’.

Have things changed? In every way, but also in no way whatsoever.

The broadcasting regulator Ofcom is reviewing the BBC’s news and current affairs output to ensure it remains relevant and trusted in the capricious, polarised and challenging world of multi-sourced news.

The new Newsnight team will give them much to ponder over. But in the meantime, let me stop you right there, as Emily would say, and ask: is one woman’s equality another man’s injustice?

Ade, you lazy lump, congratulations! EuroMillions winner deserves all the happiness his huge windfall will bring

Middle-aged, overweight, sad owl face, lumbering dolt, usually Scottish. If it’s true that all lottery winners look like the same person and fit this particular profile, how come I haven’t won yet?

Despite ticking all the above boxes, yet again it’s not me, it’s him — Ade Goodchild, a singleton 58-year-old factory worker from Hereford.

No, Ade doesn’t hail from Scotland like most Lottery winners seem to. But in every other aspect, he seems to fit the stereotype perfectly.

He is corpulent, dazed, bears a slight resemblance to a giant thumb and, unusually, insists that his mega-win will change him.

According to one report, EuroMillions winner Ade Goodchild never lifted a finger to do any chores in the house or work in the garden

Twice-married Ade scooped £71 million on the EuroMillions this week, a fantastic sum. His two ex-wives have already said they don’t want a share of his money. Good for them.

His first wife said it ‘couldn’t have happened to a nicer man’, while the second insisted that she is ‘happier without him’. Still, it is prospective wife No 3, whoever she may be, who will reap the lottery windfall.

Ade seems like the kind of lazy, useless husband any woman would be well rid of. According to one report, he never lifted a finger to do any chores in the house or work in the garden. Even after they were divorced, his second wife said she still had to go round and walk the dogs.

Yet Ade is self-aware enough to joke that he’s no more attractive now he’s a winner than he was before, but that his wallet is getting more than a few admiring glances.

He says he will look after members of his family and is going to spend the money on wine and women, then waste the rest.

Can you find it in your heart to wish him well? I do, I do, I do.

Paul pogos to the bank: Court case reveals Clash punk rocker’s millions

Back in the 1970s, the Clash were sexy revolutionaries whose punk music was thick with Left-wing ideology.

The song White Riot urged alienated white youths to riot like their black counterparts; London Calling sent an apocalyptic message to strengthen the kids’ resolve before the onslaught of Thatcherism, boo.

Well, that was then. Now, Clash bassist Paul Simonon has won a £5 million legal fight with his second wife, who managed some of the band’s financial accounts.

She wanted to change the terms of their original divorce settlement and sell her share of Clash royalties to an investment firm, but the judge ruled against her.

In the initial settlement, they each kept a London home, while sharing the cost of their sons’ education fees. The couple’s legal bills for the new hearing were more than £60,000.

‘You think it’s funny, turning rebellion into money,’ they once sang, the old hypocrites.

Next, you’ll be telling me The Who’s Roger Daltrey is a Tory-supporting Brexiteer.

A rare black-and-white print of The Scream, by Edvard Munch, will soon go on display at the British Museum.

How very prescient, for the painting seems to sum up the national mood over Brexit precisely. Head in hands, hair torn out, mouth open in a soundless yell of despair from the very marrow of one’s being.

Of course, debate still swirls around the famous image. Is Munch’s figure emitting a scream or listening to a scream? And is that scream real or psychological?

Who knows, but altogether now . . . aaargggh.

TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has won a big case against the taxman by arguing that she appears on TV not as herself, but as an entertainer

Awww, that’s fantastic! TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has won a big case against the taxman by arguing that she appears on TV not as herself, but as an entertainer portraying a super-cheery, empathetic wee character who doesn’t actually exist.

‘I am a McFake,’ is what she appears to be saying, but didn’t we know that anyway? Ms Kelly (above) told the tax tribunal she was an entertainer because she played ‘a version’ of herself on her ITV show. So the Lorraine Kelly who appears as Lorraine Kelly on Lorraine is not the real Lorraine Kelly but a theatrical construct.

She won her appeal against a £900,000 tax bill and £300,000 National Insurance demand. That’s the real drama. Take a bow, Lorraine, whoever you are.

‘When is the real Prince Harry coming?’ a schoolboy asked the Duke of Sussex during a visit to a London primary school.

Indeed! Over the past few months, as Harry has chuntered on about living the dream, shining the light, all the blades of grass and the raindrops and your ‘own true north’, it is a question I have often asked myself. Hullo clouds, hullo sky? Really, Harry?

Grand Final 2018 Success

The British Shooting Shotgun Grand Final 2018 took place at Fauxdegla this weekend and it was a huge success. Despite the North Wales rain and wind doing its best to put a dampener on the event, the British shooters remained relentless and ensured a thrilling competition for competitors and spectators alike. Olympic Trap, Olympic Skeet and Para Trap was on show over the two days of qualifications and finals with Kirsty Barr and Steve Scott winning gold in Trap, Amber Hill and Ben Llewellin taking top spot in Skeet and Alan Ritchie securing gold in Para Trap. All four gold medallists went into the event ranked number one from the Shotgun Series qualification events, but the most impressive result of the day has to be from Steve Scott, who has only recently transitioned from Double Trap to Trap, after DT was removed from the Olympic programme a year ago. Whats more, Steve Scott was in the gold medal match against current world number one, Aaron Heading, who had to settle for silver. Building on the success of the British Shooting Grand Final 2017, the Shotgun Series was designed to provide a really exciting and inspirational competition series for all shotgun shooters across the UK, and that culminated in the fantastic Grand Final.The focus of the event is to bring the best shooters in the UK together, and give everyone a chance to qualify. Qualification for the final was determined by combining each athletes best three finishing placings taken from a defined list of events through 2018, including the three qualification Shotgun Series events.
