RO shoot at Bisley in the middle of winter is just one shoot too far for us lot 4 hours plus away. Looking at the number of replies Chris got I guess only 1/4 of the years RO’s attend.

It is much appreciated the “donation” the NRA makes to us in the way of prizes etc., but here is a suggestion.

At every GR match the RO’s get a meal voucher (if you don’t want the food then you can have a blank one). At the end of the shoot the meal voucher can be placed in a box. The more times you RO the more tickets go in the box, the more chances you have to win. This will make it fair for everyone who cannot get to the Christmas shoot and has helped out as many as 4 times a year. No extra admin as the meal vouchers are given out anyway.

Present the prizes at the end of the season, say AAW dinner in the Army Sunday.

Still keep the Christmas shoot as a fun shoot, fancy dress and meal but all RO’s who have helped through the year should be in with a chance of the prizes.
