The Bisley Experience

The Bisley experience has simply been exceptional. People here have been consistently welcoming and open, there is a nice unhurried pace here about most everything and if one has properly supplied oneself at the local Sainsbury's there is rarely a need to leave the environs of the camp.

As international team members, we have the freedom of the clubs so I can visit any of the clubs on Camp and buy a beer or a meal. In fact, tomorrow I'll do just that as I explore what accommodations there are on offer and what condition they are in and what they cost.

One generally has to shoot Connaught (the Canadian National Championships) to be considered for a Bisley team, and I will not be shooting them after Bisley. So this lowers the odds dramatically of my being able to join next year's team.

There are a variety of housing options available, from modular new units, to the older St. George's Lodge, to rooms available to DCRA members in Canada House and in the various clubs.

I'll likely join the North London as it seems like a reasonable price and apparently has both good accommodations and good food.

Tomorrow is a day of rest, packing, cleaning gear, and then the team dinner.
