All four Bale athletes entered the Geoff Partridge in January 2013 held at Aldersley. We travelled through snow for a second year running but it was certainly worth it. They all did well, Philippa winning the junior pistol trophy for a second year running.

Emily had only changed from Sporter Rifle to Precision Rifle two months before the competition and her performance was extremely good.  Her performance was so good, that she was approached by TENS Academy Head Coach Steve Downs and asked if she would like to join the Academy. She said she would be pleased to join TENS Academy, so she is now a member of both the GB Junior Refile Squad and the TENS Academy Squad. Dean won silver medal in Class B Air Rifle.
