What does the 'Range Licence' cover?? Especially for clubs that don't used Bisley or can't afford to hire a MOD range?
If your club has insurance other than the Through the NRA, you need the range licence In order to book range space at Bisley. It's in effect another insurance. Of course if all your clubs members are NRA individual members you do not need the range licence. To shoot on MoD ranges your club needs the MoD range licence which is entirely different and is imposed on clubs by the MoD and not the NRA.
Therefore in our case, nae earthly use whatsoever. Cos, we don't use Bisley & can't afford the MOD charges.
Fair comment.
The review aims to at least employ a regional manager and start putting together some strategy by the end of the year...so realistically we're not going to see any significant changes for a few years.
I can fully understand why folk who live a long way from Bisley see no benefit in NRA membership, but I do think that there's a bit of a 'chicken and egg' thing going on, in that the NRA say they don't have the money to help, but folk won't support them financially until they do...
...hopefully things will improve in the near future, but for that to happen everyone (that's the regional clubs as well as the NRA...) is going to have to stay positive and do their bit...
