	RIFF RAFF RIFLE CLUB 2018 NEWSLETTER NOTE THE ADDITIONAL BENCHREST AND LSR COMPETITIONS This year I’m asking members to please return your form by POST as there is a chance that I will not be at the meeting due to ongoing hospital treatment TENT This year we will again have our own exclusive tent; so come and shelter from the sun, or rain and enjoy John B’s tea and coffee facilities. Please see John to make a donation to cover you for the week or weekend. PARTY NIGHT Following diminishing numbers of members attending over the last few years we have decided not to organise a party this year. This will have an impact on our income as the raffle has been well supported in the past. CLUB WINTER POSTAL COMPETITIONS In addition to the long running Own Start and standard Winter Competitions, we will continue to run both Benchrest and LSR postal competitions this winter. We are running them because they were asked for by the members. However the support from the members is quite low, so much so that we have opened these competitions to non members too. I would like to see more support from the members otherwise we will have to consider their future as they involve quite a lot of volunteer time to organise etc. FREE ENTRY TO NSRA COMPETITIONS Every year NSRA affiliated clubs are given a number of certificates to award to club members; these entitle the holders to free entry for life to certain competitions at Bisley and the Scottish Meeting. If you do not hold a certificate for free entry to : “The Daily Mail”, “Daily Telegraph”, “News of the World” or “Chas.E. Bell” competitions, please first ask your home club Secretary and if they have all been awarded, contact Martin.

(If it becomes necessary to change the time, a poster will be put up in the tent) Donations most welcome We try not to increase subscriptions and have in the past relied on Competition entries and the Party Raffle to help cover the increasing affiliation, postage and tent hire costs. If you wish to add a donation when you pay your subs this would be most welcome. Would all last years Trophy winners please remember to get the trophies back to Bisley and return them, in a clean and presentable condition, to a committee member ASAP.
