On the 3rd of July 2004, George Foster was awarded Life Membership to the Newcastle Lake Macquarie Clay Target Club, in recognition of the contribution he has made to the club and to the sport. George fired his first shot on his 7th birthday and was hooked, it began a life-long love of shooting. George began competitive shotgun shooting about the same time he joined the Newcastle club back in 1967. He has shot Skeet, DTL and Trench competitively.

George won his first championship, a single barrel event, at Dungog in 1969, then went on to make the State Skeet Team in 1971, the Veterans State Trap Team in 2000 and has many other memorable wins under his belt.

Perazzi is his preferred brand of gun and he likes loading his own ammunition.

He is supported endlessly by his lovely wife Shirley.

Congratulations George.
