Stephen Penrose
Stephen is Adjutant for this year’s team. This will be his fifth shooting tour to Canada and his second to the USA. Stephen made his first visit to Canada as Atheling in 1976. Having not shot on the continent for 26 years he is now making up for lost time as this will be his fifth trip in fourteen years. Stephen first started shooting at Rugby School – the home of Rugby Football. He then went to Cambridge University where he managed to change course enough times to ensure he got in plenty of practise! This will be his eleventh international tour with either a GB or England team. Over the years he has shot in all the major team competitions and has had the odd spot of luck in individual competitions as well – winning the SA State President’s prize at the 1999 Palma.
Stephen is a veterinary surgeon by profession and is a partner in a small-animal practice in Colchester. He has three grown up children, is a keen skier and enjoys travelling with his wife Kate, who will be accompanying him on the BC and USA leg of the tour.
