The competition, which got under way today (September 16) is taking place in the Delegacion Tiro Olympico in Alicante and concludes on Sunday, September 20.
The full squad competing in Alicante is Nathan Milgate (Herne Bay, Kent), Karen Butler (Bristol), Mandy Pankhurst (Ash, Surrey), Stephen Robertson (Leamington Spa), Richard Davies (Stourbridge, West Mids), Chris Summerscales (Rotherham, Yorkshire), Andy Gardiner (Oxfordshire), Adrian Bunclark (Newton Abott, Devon) and Jean Guild (Southport, Merseyside).
They will be supported by Head Coach and Team Manager, Pasan Kularatne, Development Coaches James Marsh Brown and Louise Minett and Support Staff Louise Davies.
