APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE
MINUTES OF AGM 2002 which were read by chairman Richard The minutes were duly accepted as a true and accurate record. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES Lack of gents toilet facilities at the Byley ground need to be addressed. The camping toilet quickly fills up making it unpleasant for the lady shooters. Possible solution would be a structure made out of old doors to form a urinal for the male shooters as Stockport and Oldham have. Secretary to mail out minutes to all club secretaries. REPORTS CHAIRMANS REPORT - Express disappointment that so few of the members had attended. SECRETARYS REPORT - No correspondence nothing to report. TREASURERS REPORT - Funds not healthy We need to encourage other clubs to affiliate to North West by explaining benefits of membership particularly the BFTA insurance scheme. A need to encourage sporter shooters and provide sporter class if full-blown FT shooters cannot be found. Need to consider limiting grades to three to reduce the amount spent on trophies. Affiliation fees may have to increase which would be the subject of an EGM. Does anyone have suggestions as to how we can increase income? Raffle at shoots for say a bottle of whisky/brandy. Treasurer to write to advertisers on North West web page asking for their monies. After discussion it was decided to initiate raffles at GP's tickets to be £1 per strip and prizes will be a six pack and a tin of chocolate biscuits to be drawn between squads one and two. Clubs please note that the affiliation fee of £45.00 is now due. Remit to Treasurer. COMPETITION SECRETARY The grades were examined and it was decided to scrap AA grade and the split will now be
and if less than 5 shooters, only one trophy will be given (C grade only). This will reduce outlay on trophies. CR proposed - DW seconded, passed unanimously. Please note CLA and Worlds are now clashing both are on 1 St weekend in August. The NW shoot calendar summer 2003 is provisionally as set out below.
The above to be ratified by clubs AREA REP (feedback from BFTA AGM) Please see attached notes on National BFTA shoot GP3 These are thoughts to make the event successful and smooth and are open to comments/additions and are not at this time fixed. Regional contacts, Club Officers please give approval for your name and phone number to appear on a contact list for Mike Noon and also for inclusion into shooting magazines. NWFTA to have A4 copy of clubs and location of clubs. Should you wish for invitation only access to shooting site then this must be stated with information. Stockport have this requirement. We need to submit to BFTA details of our shoots location and available B&B's campsites etc. Byley to notify Secretary DW gave brief resume BFTA AGM Registration cards cut off date for issue is January 1st. Cards applied for will be issued in April and will be valid for 15 months. BR suggested North West to issue "applied for" cards. BR suggested a questionaire be issued giving details of who has applied for registration cards. DW read insurance policy details to clarify extent of cover. Sporter FT shooters. We should ask them what they want to see if this can be accommodated. COMPETITIONS Feedback given from Stockport, Sandhall, Byley and Oldham.
