Ordinary Meeting

1) Feedback from Eagley shoot - excellent facilities, cooking much appreciated - good course, thanks to the club.

3) Home Internationals - Nosh gave rundown. Also proposed that 4 members representing England should have expenses for petrol and hat and 'open' payments. Total = £80. Tony confirmed above proposal. Seconded by Ken unanimously agreed.

4) BFTA Showdown/Masters - good shoots, but shoot presentation (trophies) was chronic!

5) Terry presented winter programme of 8 shoots. He suggested that clubs may like to shoot against each other, concentrate on club shoots etc. Handouts will be issued on sunday at Tawd Vale.

6) Sideshoots - clubs should be encouraged to put sideshoots on, either at 'home' shoot, or when shooting 'away'. Terry made the point that sideshoots should be shootable in order to make money! Decided that host club should be responsible for ensuring at least one side-shoot takes place, run by a visiting club. To be decided at meeting before each shoot, and also to be included as an agenda item.

7) Dual Membership - shooters are allowed to belong to more than one club, but they must only shoot for one club in any one season, and nominate that club at the season's start. Proposed by Terry, Seconded by Len. All in favour, bar one.

8) Terry and Nosh will not be at next meeting. Nosh will do agenda.
