The National Body General Discussion section is exactly that, a section for all of us to discuss the National Bodies and what they are up to.

Please bear in mind that this is an open forum and your posts can be read by all members. If you are in a position that can be compromised by what you are saying on here because someone takes offense and tells your colleagues or your sponsor and that in turn means you are being punished for your posts on here, think before you post!

Perish the thought

#1 Post by John25 »

I was typing my bit in the welcome post for Forward Observer.

He had said something along the lines of Fullbore Forum leading the way into unified shooting and commonallity of purpose and it got me thinking.


The Fullbore Shooting Society..


We would need a constitution, committee, range to shoot on, Home Office Approval,



Committee meetings, agendas, you know - serious stuff.


Commitment.



Perish the thought, cold shower for me I think.

Society eh?

Perish the thought... we have anything up to 1100 unique visitors to this site daily so it does get some exposure.

The benefit of FB(UK) is that people from the length and breadth of this island can share ideas (plus people from around the world) - a society/club would be based in one area and only cater for a small number - therein lies the problem.

That reality is one of the reasons why I advocate that there needs to be a functional separation 'tween the NRA and Bisley shooting ground in order for the NRA to function as representative member organisation.

Being pedantic (or just a pain in the nether regions) Bisley Shooting Ground is the shotgun organisation belonging to Mr Anthony Roupell.

The NRA just say Bisley.

Not that, in the grand scale of things, anyone gives a - thought for it.

O:-)

But then NRA (aparrent) lack of tangible interest has been discussed in depth elsewhere.

Is there anybody in there? Echo, echo, echo.........

I was thinking about something similar during the National Body thread, but more along the lines of a mock up of a National body sort of thing. :-P

NRA affiliation so all members can shoot on NRA ranges?
