Lots of sacking went on during that period, and consequently lots of tribunals etc (some of the sacking was done very badly).

The NRA Treasurers report to general Council is on the NRA website: http://www.nra.org.uk/common/files/news ... 3Dec13.pdf

I'd forget anything back in 2011 (or even 2012). Nothing that can be done about that that hasn't already been done or said. We know the NRA took their eye off the ball back then. Hopefully its well and truly back on it now.

After a bad couple of years, 2013 was financially successful - £305k positive. Outlook for 2014 looks good - projected £450k surplus. 2015-2016 financial projections also look good.

The NRA's strategic vision for 2014-16 aims to concentrate on investing into the fabric of Bisley camp (20+ years of underinvestment) and concentrate on the promotion of shooting as a sport. I'm guessing side shows like bike rallies, car boot fairs and wedding festivals do not align with this strategy.

Which NRA treasurer said that? Not the one that got them into a half million financial black hole a couple of years back?

What ratio would that investment be? How much plowed into Bisley vs the money spent on promoting shooting outside of Bisley entirely?

Sounds like a change of government. "It is all their fault, we just inherited the mess". Exactly which treasurer are you blaming? Name please.

For 2014 £310k on camp mtce and investment.

Overall into the future - £200k to be kept in cash reserves with any surpluses to be invested in capital and development projects. For the period of 2014-16 inclusive the aspiration is to invest £1m into the camp infrastructure.

Wow, £1m would go a long way to making them an actual "national" association! But I digress, thanks for the info.

I don't read my own signature!

Bruce Pollard - and my mistake - he wasn't the treasurer - he was the NRA Finance Director.
