Under 25 Rifle Club is born!
The under 25 rifle club is the new, exciting way youth shooting is to operate in the UK. The club is the result of the formalisation of what was previously the GB Under 25s. The name 'GB Under 25 Rifle Team' shall remain, but exclusively for use of official NRA touring teams and the Under 25 Match during the Imperial Meeting. All other activities, including informal training days and practise matches will operate under the U25RC banner.
Why has this happened?
Under 25 shooting in the UK has moved on a lot in the last 10 years and has been a victim of its own success. Boring legal things like insurance and logistics now mean that we need to be affiliated to the NRA in order to meet, train and compete to the high standards we've become accustomed to.
What does this mean for me?
Some things are going to change - like a small membership fee (to cover the cost of the insurance and affiliation) - but most things will remain the same. The biggest difference is the elected committee; to look after your club and your interests - and that you can be part of this in future years.
The most important things to remember are that the Under 25 Rifle Club is not a replacement for any of the clubs you currently shoot with and that you don't have to be a member of the U25 RC to be picked for the GBU25 teams. It is just a great way of letting you practise and compete to your full potential all year round with other young shooters, whilst ensuring that your activities are safe and fully covered if anything should happen (which it won't).
What do I need to do?
If you haven't been collared by me yet you need to fill in an application form (email me - president@u25rc.co.uk). The subs are minimal (just to cover insurance) and once you've joined we'll see you on the ranges.
Who are the committee this year?
Graham Nelson - President president@u25rc.co.uk
Sam Adamson - Vice President vicepresident@u25rc.co.uk
Ed Jeens - Secretary secretary@u25rc.co.uk
Richard Heathcote - Treasurer treasurer@u25rc.co.uk
The club is very much in its infancy and the future is pretty much up to you - things started out as a method to allow us to keep training and competing together but plans for the future include a Match Rifle section, club stash, team matches, sponsorship and a club kit fund.
Get on board and email me, and look out for the website coming soon.
Good Shooting!!
Graham Nelson
