Close of Season Meeting
A close of season meeting was held after the Autumn Action Weekend to discuss how we wanted to move forward into the 2014 season with Gallery Rifle shooting at Bisley. The notes of the meeting can be found here:

Notes and salient points from a Meeting held at the HAC, Bisley at 13:15 on Sunday 27th October 2013
GRAW attendance has flattened off over the last few years and as a community we need to have a think about the future of the Bisley GRAW meetings, how we run them, what we offer, why we think people attend, why we think people don’t attend etc. We can’t continue to run meetings nobody attends. We can’t continue to run events few people shoot.
Over the next week or two I’ll be calling for some volunteers to sit working parties to look at the following areas:
- Formulate an overall costing model for 2014 GRAW meetings. This to include the ROs we need, how they are remunerated, what ranges we need and how we run events on them.
- Arrange and help run at least one GR training day
- Review and produce the 2014 GR&P rulebook and Phoenix Booklet
- Arrange and produce some marketing, publicity and PR material to promote the discipline.
- Look at communications.
- Above all – get more people shooting competitively in GR.
The last one is the biggest challenge (in my opinion).
Contact me if you wish to volunteer to look at any of this. The GRAW meetings at Bisley are for us to run as we wish however they are not a carte blanche blank slate to do anything we wish without regard for the basics – such as covering costs.
