No doubt he will have performance related pay based on profits.

The more profit he delivers the more he will probably pocket.

Charities can and do operate to generate a surplus (they have already said what their aims are with their surplus and their reinvestment program), but that's not really the same thing as a profit in the traditional sense of the word in terms of a business. It doesn't get shared out to shareholders (or trustees in the case of a charity)

Do you have proof that the trustees of the NRA are doing improper things with the running of a charitable organisation? That they have somehow got something past independent financial auditors?

Or are you just another in the anti-NRA brigade?

You're just playing with semantics techguy, a surplus is a profit in all but legal appearance and there's nothing stopping the NRA paying Mercer extra for meeting targets

The NRA had a very large stand in the 'Rifle' hall right on a corner in a prime spot.
Well staffed.

You need to move North my friends sell Bisley and put the money in the coffers and concentrate on representing shooters Nationally.

How is that any cheaper?
10 visits plus membership is £300. Add the cost of ammo for the 10 visits and you are close to if not over the NRA charges
They don't pay the £200 membership until they get accepted as a member they then have the option to pay £50 a quarter if its easier for them. Once you are a full member the £200 includes range fees.
