A smaller attendance yesterday but given that it was Remembrance Day and the match of the day is not a popular match at the Club, this was not to be unexpected.

Bob contested an air pistol match before the other three attendees arrived and then Bob, Rick and Wayne all shot two of the WA1500 48 shot matches - Bob and Rick with revolvers and Wayne with a semi auto all recording a score in one match just below their personal best for that match.

After Lunch, Rick, Bob and Wayne contested a 25 metre Black Powder Match with Jason joining in and contesting a 25m Pistol men (Sport Pistol match).

All returned scores well below par but the afternoon was enjoyed by all 4 in attendance.

Match of the day next Saturday (18/11/2023) is Centre Fire/25 m Pistol commencing at 1 pm

We have enjoyed much better attendances in recent weeks and yesterday was no exception.
Membership has started to grow again with two "new to the sport members" joining since August and one transferred from another Club. There is another transfer "in the wind" transferring from a mid north coast club following relocation to this area.
New Member Corey received coaching from Kerri with a .22 pistol after having been coached on recent visits with an Air Pistol.
Rick and Wayne contested two WA1500 Standard Pistol Matches each before Lunch both returning very similar scores in their matches and very close to their individual Personal Best Scores.
A Standard Pistol Match was contested by 5 members after Lunch with Rick acting as the non-shooting Range Officer.
Scores were varied but the match enjoyed by all who took part.
Matches of the day next Saturday is 25m Black Powder and Rapid Fire Pistol and, no doubt, there will be a few matches contested before Lunch and before the Matches of the Day.

Much better attendance yesterday after several lean attendances.
There were seven Standard Pistol Matches, three Air Pistol Matches and six WA 1500 48 shot matches contested during the day.
Robert and Doreen were the only members in attendance on 21/10/2023 and had a marathon 4 matches in the day both contesting 2 air Pistol Matches, a standard Pistol Match each with Robert contesting a centre Fire match and Doreen contesting 25 m Sport Pistol.
Hopefully, the warmer weather will see attendances increase again over coming weeks.
Match of the Day next Saturday is Standard Pistol commencing at 1 pm.

A total of 9 matches were contested on the day with one member also undertaking an Air Pistol Practice Match and another contesting part of a Rapid Fire Match as practice with her ammunition making it impossible to contest a full match.

Match of the day next Saturday is Centre Fire/ Sport Pistol commencing at 1 pm.

Club Pistols will not be available at the Range next Saturday as the Club Armourer will not be attending the Club due to a Referee Council commitments.

Not a lot to report in recent weeks with a working bee held on 9th September to prepare for the Open,
The September Open held on 15-17/9/2023 and then two weeks with limited attendance due to most members having other commitments.
The Open was successful but unfortunately numbers were down on previous events but the promise from many of those who could not make it that they will be back in February.
Five members attended the Range on Saturday with 2 contesting 2 matches each of WA1500 Standard Pistol before Lunch and then 5 members contesting a Standard Pistol Match.
Scheduled matches for next Saturday (14/10/2023) are Rapid Fire Pistol and 25m Black Powder.

A small group of "senior" members (age related) of the club attended yesterday and conducted a Hazard Reduction Burn off after lunch in the bottom Carpark, around the Air Range and up the side of the path to the Air Range.

The amount of leaf litter and sticks that had accumulated over the last couple of years was astounding and was cause for concern with the continued dry weather and the predicted hot summer.

The site is now much safer for the upcoming Open shoot in 3 weeks as a result of yesterday's efforts.

It was not all work though with three members contesting a WA1500 48 shot match before Lunch and one of those members also contesting an Air Pistol Match earlier in the morning.

Match of the day next week is Standard Pistol commencing at 1 pm.

A quite cold day in Glen Innes yesterday and as a result, a much smaller attendance.
Two members contested an Air Pistol Match and 3 members contested a Sport Pistol Match with Kim shooting a Personal best score.
It was also pleasing to have a former member visit and re-join the Club after an absence of several years and contest part of the Centre Fire Match as a Practice Match.
At the Committee Meeting last week, it was decided that the Match of the day on 26th August (next Saturday) would be cancelled to enable a fire hazard reduction to take place.
The area in front of the Air Range, part way up the path to the Air Range and part of the lower car park are areas of particular concern. The intention is to rake the leaves etc into a "control" area and, with the appropriate fire permit, burn the material raked up in readiness for the Open event next month when we anticipate the card park to be full with visitor cars and vans.
This exercise is planned to start at 1pm with the intention that all material will be completely incinerated and the fires out by 3-4 pm.

Great turnout last Saturday for the Annual General Meeting and a total of 16 Matches contested before the meeting between Standard Pistol, Air Pistol and the 48 shot WA1500 matches
There was very little change between the outgoing and incoming Committee with a change in the Assistant Secretary, Vice Captain and one change in the Committee Persons.
​We did loose a few members this year for various reasons but new members have made up the loss. Hopefully, the 2 new younger members will encourage some of their friends to also come and have a look and potentially join the Club.

Much better turnout today over recent weeks with a total of 11 matches contested during the course of the day, with one new member committing to join next week when he has his paperwork sorted and one new member transferring in from another Club.

The Club's Annual General Meeting is to be held next Saturday at approx. 2 pm after conclusion of the match of the day and the Committee is hoping for a strong turn out of members for this important meeting.

​To avoid the meeting being delayed, the match of the day (Standard Pistol) will commence at 12 noon sharp.
