Oban Rotary enjoys a very close relationship with the Lorn Clay Target Club which operates near to the Moss Road in North Connel. The Club meets regularly and endeavour's to attract youngsters with a view to training them to compete at national and international level although the prime objective is to establish discipline and confidence in the handling of guns. Rotary meets up with LCTC members once a year to have a "shoot out" against the background of a barbecue with the consistent winner being Rotarian Tommy MacQuade. Oban Rotary contributes £200 to the cost of cartridges for young recruits and LCTC Chairman Hector MacFadyen is seen here receiving a cheque for this amount from Rotary President Iain Mac Intyre with Rotarians L-R Chris Sutton, Mike Urwin and Billy MacLean also in attendance.
The Rotary Club of Oban as part of its support of youth orientated activities is seen here presenting a cheque for £200 to The Lorn Clay Target Club which operates from near to Moss Road, North Connel.The club has been in existence for many years and has seen members move on to compete at national and international level. The cornerstone of the club, quite apart from developing youngsters to be able to compete in the many local and national competitions, is to install discipline in the handling of guns along with building up confidence in their progress to competition level.
