1) Carried over from last meeting - heated discussion on teams within North West. Proposed - Limit of 2 teams (interchangeable) per club, 5 members per team. Teams to be named BEFORE start of shoot. To start on first shoot of 1996 summer series. List of names to be handed to stats. Seconded by Len Rosser, 6 clubs in favour, CMB abstained, Carried.

2) Pre-shoot briefings - point made by Richard on behalf of several shooters that at Eagley shoot most people arrived after briefing. Stan felt that briefings are a step in the right direction, it elevates the shoot position from a gaggle of disjointed bodies. Nosh agreed, stating it signifies the start of a shoot and is also an opportunity to remind people of various points, especially in the case of new shooters. Terry then gave brief talk on why briefings were introduced. As well as shoot procedures, things such as noticeboards, quiz evenings etc. should be mentioned.

3) Nosh gave feedback on World Championships, if people want copies of the stats, tell Nosh. Len and Richard expressed an interest.

4) Quiz/Presentaton Night - numbers required by CMB shoot. Give numbers to Nosh. Suggestion to invite Bartrops and McEvoys. Club reminded of raffle prizes.

5) BFTA Grand Prix offered out to clubs. All interested parties to bid by the next meeting.

6) Eagley shoot - good feedback - lot of happy shooters with high scores. Macclesfield - good shoot and layout - breeze made it tricky. Excellent attendance - 67!

7) CMB shoot 3 - Blackpool will put a sideshoot on, food will be available.

8) Terry will do some general info on NWFTA flyers for shops.
