We are really lucky to have a Field Gun Team and we are very proud of the children who attend this after-school club. The children receive specialist training to help with the drill, work as a team and demonstrate their Gosport Futures skills in abundance. For almost 100 years, the Royal Navy’s Command Field Gun Competition, held in London’s Earls Court Exhibition Centre, was the highlight of the Royal Tournament. Regrettably, owing to cuts and staff shortages, the tournament ended in 1999. Happily, its traditions live on in the junior version which is lived out in some schools around the country and most certainly at Rowner.
