Rob Plested has offered to run a new Hampshire 25yrd benchrest league IAW current NSRA rules.

Initial thoughts?

In order for him to gauge the potential level of interest in such a benchrest league please contact him via email – giving details of your club and how many members might like to take part, also whether you are interested in Air or .22 rim-fire.

Area Reps. please pass the above onto your contacts at the clubs within your respective areas  so that all clubs are made aware and can provide feedback accordingly.

For general info – I’m going to ask Mary to schedule a committee meeting for 8^th Sept, this proposed league will be one of the items on the agenda so it will be good for us to get any feeback by then on the proposal.  IF we get lots of difficult questions about Benchrest I might see about getting Rob to attend the meeting.
