Clevedon report. Still a bit uncertain and we are in the hands of CRC.  Roadworks a big improvement.  Can we get in more shoots in May?

Calendar. New calendar published – Howick starting on 18th and 3 shoots at DA range in forest  as before.  

Discussed multi-gun matches and some different shoots at the DA only 100 m

Support from ASRA for members going to South Africa and Australia this year. Two from ASRA going to SA, and ASRA to contribute $250 each, noting there will be some support from NZSRA too. SSAA Nats in South Australia.  Good support by Aussies but little enthusiasm here.

Also discussed – Promotion of ASRA and SR.  Jordan G will look at a Facebook publicity go.  Maybe a new shooters event in new Clevedon year?
