thank you for an incredible championship
A huge thank you to everyone who made the CPSA World English Sporting Championship such a special event once again. Hosting this prestigious international competition is always a privilege, and it was a pleasure to welcome such a fantastic mix of people to our grounds in High Wycombe.
​
To the competitors who travelled from near and far: your focus, energy and sportsmanship made this a truly world-class event.
​
To those who came to support friends and family, and to the spectators who created such a brilliant atmosphere, we’re incredibly grateful. Your presence helped make the event feel truly special.
​
And to our team of staff, referees and ground crew, thank you for your tireless work behind the scenes. An event of this scale simply couldn’t happen without you.
​
This year’s championship offered a packed programme, including the 200-target main event, the World Sportrap, the Prelims and the Registered Super Sporting, alongside our ever-popular pool shoots. We hope you enjoyed the challenge and variety across each layout.
​
We’re proud to be part of a sport that brings together such a diverse and passionate community. The CPSA World English Sporting Championship is more than a competition, it’s a celebration of everything we love about clay shooting.
