Boys of Bisley Movement?

[dromia]

Any one know anything about this turn of the 20th century shooting movement?

My researches have uncovered snippets relating to it.

Please don't tell me to speak to the NRA, I'm still waiting for an acknowledgement to my last queery 3 months ago.

Been making friends and influencing people again?

Just had a bit of a hunt but found nothing, can you tell us what you have found so far?

Is it an MBO or an acquisition attempt?

What would be the expected synergistic component of such a strategy?

Or is it some sort of vertical integration?

You aint gonna get any sense out of this lot Adam :roll:

Not much really just references to meetings and the fellow who was pioneering the movement in the North.

Has it nothing to do with what comes back on a Google search on Boys of Bisley?

The School, the refuge, the orphanage?

The cadet movement?

In 2008 he completed his first book, ‘Lions of the Day’, which told the story of the SA Contingent to Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, including 26 individual biographies. In 2009 came ‘The Bisley Boys’, which told the story of the Victorian Rifle Team which travelled to Bisley in England in 1897 to compete successfully against the best of the Empire for the Kolapore Cup, including team biographies. Andrew has since written a commissioned business and biographical study of Thomas Joshua Jackson 1852-1901, the co-owner of the famous Young & Jackson’s Hotel, and is working on a sporting and social commissioned history, ‘The Riflemen 1855-1988’, for the National Rifle Association of Australia (the NRAA is Australia’s oldest national sporting organisation).

Dromia,

Did you get any further with the research on the BoBM?
