He is looking forward to some stiff competition there, making new friendships (whilst trying to remember who he met 27 years ago), and hoping that the fabled Trentham wind has somehow been tamed. David&#8217;s top achievements to date include making 19 Queen\u2019s Finals (coming 2nd twice, most recently in 2012) and 15 top 50 finishes in the Grand, including unfortunately narrowly missing out on a top-3 place in 2017 courtesy of the Prince of Wales. He has been part of the winning GB Palma Teams in Canada in 2007, Australia in 2011 and Camp Perry in 2015. Away from Bisley, David is a pension trustee and accountant for the Civil Aviation Authority, managing a government-backed trust fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David first started shooting at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, in 1983 and has shot the Imperial Meeting at Bisley every year since, apart from 1997 when he was working in Tokyo.
