our having a stand at HFSF, Moy.
Members manned the stand for the two days of the fair and as well as
representing the Club to the general public and recruiting participants for
our open day at the end of August.
It was a very successful event and around 40 people signed up to come
to the open day. Open Day – 28 August. The Club will hold an Open Day on
Sunday 28 August. We need
members to look after our guests.
Please contact me if you can help. Service Rifle Charity Shoot Details
of the Service Rifle Charity Shoot on 15 May are now available. Check
out the complete schedule here Guests and Visitors Club members are encouraged to bring non members
to shoot with us in the Club. A reminder of the arrangements in place
for this follows. There are two categories of non-member
participation. Visitors.
Non members who hold Firearm Certificates can visit the Club as a Full
Member's guest at any time. There is no need to inform the Secretary
prior to the visit. The visitor must sign the Visitor Log which
includes the mandatory declaration about not being a prohibited person (a bit
redundant you would think but there you are). A £5 Visitor Fee and
supervision by the host member is the only other requirement. The
member should ensure that his guest is briefed on our safety procedures. Guest Days. Non members who do not hold FACs may only attend the Club to
shoot on a Guest Day. On the programme you will note that we have not
indicated any Guest Days (GD). We are allowed only 12 GDs a year.
There is no point in using one of these 12 when no guests come.
So, the arrangement will be that any club meeting can be a GD until we
use up the allocation. Members who wish to bring a guest must advise
the Secretary a week before the meeting giving the guest's full name, address
and date of birth. The Secretary will advise if the GD has been
approved. The guest must be entered on the Visitor Log. No fee is
needed. The host must supervise the guest during all shooting and is
responsible for keeping the guest safe. If a member wishes to bring a
group of guests the Club will help provide supervisors. Two weeks
notice will be necessary to arrange this. AGM New
Subscriptions agreed at AGM. New
subscriptions were agreed at the AGM. Full Members annual subscription

Service Rifle
Competition The scheduled practice day on Sunday 20 June 2010
has been replaced by an open service rifle competition. See the Service Rifle page for details Reloaded Ammunition The Club now has a policy on reloaded ammunition
after discussion at the last Club Committee meeting. A risk assessment has
been carried out and a policy based on National Rifle Association practice
has been adopted. See the Dangerous Ammunition information here. Range Day Staffing At the AGM we discussed the problem of not enough
people and/or range officers turning up at a programmed shooting day to allow
shooting to take place. We have had a look at the problem and decided to
trial a web-based roster system. I have written to members describing
the system and inviting you to participate. If you have not received an
email from me please get in touch. It will just be because I don't have
your up to date email address. AGM 2010 The Secretary has written to all members with the
minutes of the AGM and a copy of the updated Club constitution.

or suggestions for its improvement please contact the Chairman. New Skeet Range Operational The Club's latest project, a skeet range, is now
operational. The range still needs some work to complete drainage,
landscaping and general tidying up but is now available for use. Muzzle Loading Competition The Club's first muzzle loading competition was
held on Sunday 18 October and was a great success. Read the picture report. 2010 Programme We are planning the 2010 rifle programme and want
to ensure that it meets the needs of as many members as possible. As
