The Trafalgar Meeting

The biggest Classic and Historic Arms event in the Bisley calendar, The Trafalgar Meeting (18-19 October), is fast approaching.  This is an enjoyable weekend and the opportunity for all levels of shooter to come along and have some competitive fun.  Some ranges are filling up so do get your entries in soonest – click here for more details and to enter.

We would like to thank those of you who have kindly offered your time to RO at the Meeting and we are currently allocating all who have responded across the ranges.  However, we are still very much in need of more ROs as some ranges have minimal cover and others none as yet.  We would ideally like to be in a position to offer competitions across all ranges – so would welcome this extra support.

If you are able to help, would you please fill in this online form soonest please.  We will be confirming all the detail to the RO team very early next week.

There are a few spaces available for the annual Trafalgar Dinner on Saturday 18 October, from 8 pm at the ATSC, Bisley.  This is very much part of the celebration and tradition of the Meeting and, after a full day’s shooting, is a fine way to spend your evening with your comrades.  The cost is £16.50 pp for a three course meal, coffee and mints.  More details and the booking form are available here.

Very many thanks, and we look forward to seeing many of you next week.
