Everyone,
Hope you shooting is going well as we enter the busy mid season. Can I just ask you to take 2 minutes to read this post about fundraising.
As an Under 25 group we all suffer the constant financial pressures of shooting. As a result we aim to hold events and competitions to help raise funds for kit, training subsidy and match entry. This year there are several things happen and they all need your input.
Bullet Ball
Emma Nuttall is kindly organising this event again this year and it promises to be very exciting. However, despite claims to the contrary, Emma is not actually superwoman and so we're looking for volunteers to help out. Everyone needs to help publicise the event (on Second Friday during the meeting 27th July), sell tickets and help on the day. We're probably going to be helping behind the bar and also in setting up and packing away afterwards. I'm going to draw up a rota of people so if you have a preference then shout (like being good a stacking chairs hungover). I know that some of you will have Queens II and uni shooting so volunteer early to stop clashes.
Under 25 BBQ
This year we're holding this event at the Inns of Court on Camp. It will also be the Under 25 Rifle Club AGM. we also need to sell tickets, help organise and run the Bar. Please let Ed Welford know if you can help out here. Again, we're looking for people to help out in the planning (whilst we'll all be involved in the execution)
Basically, we all need to work together (and especially with Emma and Ed) to make these events as successful aas possible. The ore work we do, the less we have to pay others to do it, and the more money we make!!!
If you have any ideas, email me (g.p.nelson@blueyonder.co.uk), for the ball email Emma (nutter_no5@hotmail.com) and for the bbq Ed (edwelford@hotmail.com).
Thanks
Graham

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
