Alex, well said.

I am surprised, sad, horrified, insert any negative emotion here, about the lack of response from the NRA to it's members.

Something needs to be done, maybe we all ought to contact our local rep and see if we can shake the ground?

I just have, at least I hope I have, never quite sure where Bedfordshire belong to, so I emailed eastmidlands.

I have contacted my rep on the outstanding queries I have with the NRA but he seemed to have as much luck as I did.

The easiest thing is to do nothing and just let incompetent council ruin it all! Did you know that in just one weekend meeting (England Live) NRA (that is us) lost £130,000? Did that justify a letter from you with any colour ink? Or are you content to wait until one day you are greeted by the Liquidator at the gate and told to find another place to shoot because the NRA had gone!

Or I could let them continue letting vastly underused assets out to commercial users who not only pay handsomely for the privilege but also invest in them, meaning they are improved for the benefit of us all.

If you're that worried about the state of the ranges why not buy up a disused one yourself? Show us all your commercial acumen?

Or indeed, why not stand for NRA Council and let your fellow members put you into a position to cure the NRA's ills?

Am I alone in thinking that Andrew Mercer is just getting his head down and getting on with the job?

Why on earth would they (NRA) contact all and sundry to tell them what's going on when the Association is in the state it is.
I hasten to add that the NRA organisation is just a little bigger than those who use Short Siberia!

Mick you are not alone but there are many who cannot see the wood for the trees, and there are those that just like think of their own individual agendas and have no time for anyone else.

I am done with this thread.

I will try to make a difference elsewhere.
