No hat I'm afraid - I've got a size 8 head
due to my huge brain of course
The only thing that fits is a Tilley and that was difficult enough to find and I dont think Her Majesty will appreciate its fine workmanship!
Will have to be a fascinator thingy instead
Went to a Garden Party a couple of years ago - do you think I'll get away with the same dress?
Love
karen

Who?
I would be grateful if someone would explain who he is and his contribution to shooting.

I believe it was for his services as an RAF Search and Rescue Pilot.

Who is Iain?
Member of General Council
Chairman of TR Sub-Committee
Ex Chairman Shooting Committee
Current Vice-Chairman Shooting Committee
Editor/writer of NRA Handbook
Writer of lots of NRA Journal articles
Current GB team captain
General all round volunteer (currently organising Imperial Meeting ammunition distribution)
Maker of my lunch (very nice bacon roll it was too!)
All above are unpaid and take up a lot of time!
Also came second in Queens Prize once and holds current record in Queens II - has won other stuff occasionally. Has been reserve for Scotland in Commonwealth Games twice.
However he got MBE for being an RAF Search and Rescue pilot!
Love
Karen
