This will be the first time the Association has staged the Annual Dinner
since 2019.The previous occasion was a great success.
All county shooters who have won cups, trophies and medals will be
presented them by our guest speaker Mr Richard Fisher – Founder of
the Vickers Machine Gun Collection & Research Association. Richard
started collecting militaria as a 10 year old. His specific interest in the
Vickers Machine Gun was a result of his grandfather’s service in WW2
as a machine gunner in the Cheshire Regiment in Italy.

Minimum Number of Range Attendances
This is a gentle reminder that a small minority of our members are not acting according to our rules and regulations. This is in regard of range attendances.
We do not grant membership just so that they can hold an FAC.
TVP also require a minimum number of usages per weapon. This also needs to be recorded for future use of FAC renewal.
Home Office require noncompliance to be reported to TVP.
Please save me from having to do this.
best regards to you all
Frank Slade
Membership Secretary
Improvements to Chesterton since January 1st this year
1). Heating and lighting have been installed in the “clubhouse”.
2). Lighting and power have been installed into the covered firing point
(A huge thankyou to Stuart for installing the hardware for the above, electricity is provided by the generator the club bought at the end of last year ).
3). A two lane , 10m , air range has been installed with electric target retrieval and lighting – this down to Frank, Peter Copeland, and Stuart.
4). David has sprayed the sand traps on 50 ad 100 backstops and will continue to do so every fortnight so we should be able to keep the sand in good condition throughout the year.
5). All the woodwork on the covered firing point has been painted, thanks Griff.
6). Bob has disposed of rubbish, tidied the cage, and brushed the floor of the covered firing point and the whole place looks like a serious range again.
The above are the main points but other works have also been carried out – like securing warning flags securely to their carabiniers which will hopefully put an end to lost carabiniers and make the life of RCO’s a bit easier.
