HRA Royal British Legion Charity Match - Saturday 5 Sep 15

[John MH]

The HRA Royal British Legion Charity Match will be held on Saturday 5th September 15 at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley.

The aim of this match is to have some fun but most importantly raise money for the Royal British Legion, last year we raised just over £5000 (with Gift Aid) and my target this year is to double that. There will hopefully be some fantastic prizes on the sponsors table for all competitors to have a chance of winning in the Squad Number Draw. There are only 96 Places available so when the Entries open dont waste any time in submitting your Entry Form and paying your Entry Fee.
