1) Matter of fees raised again. Failsworth felt fees had been set at previous meeting and shouldn't be altered again. Fees were voted on at second meeting. (Oldham also felt the same as Failsworth). This point put to 'any other business'

6) Anglo/American Update - bookings almost full.

7) War of the Roses - to be held at failsworth on 25/6/95. Criteria still to be finalised with NEFTA.

8) Terry explained the mechanics of the Norweigan postal League. Clubs can enter on an individual basis and must take responsibility for sending their own score cards in. Handouts issued.

9) Proposed list of summer series shoots read out and confirmed. Mike raised point that summer series seems to be getting shorter, but calendar is very full, both with national and NW national events. Nosh will do handout of all shoots.

10) Good shoot at Sandhall and Oldham. (car parking tight at Oldham) People to watch speed on track from cottage. Club has to be out of ground by mid afternoon.

11) Tony, on behalf of Oldham, put forward proposal that at monthly league shoots, club pays for trophies, half of take to club, half to NWFTA (of profits), and split money at end of season between clubs hosting shoots. (West Pennine League was quoted).

12) Nigel explained, with Dave Benyon's help, that West Pennine was a totally different set-up.

13) Fees discussed again! Nigel emphasised that £2-50 fee and reduced fee was voted on and accepted unanimously at Feb meeting.
