The NSC was in a similar position over this period. SECRETARY GENERAL During this period, despite necessarily having to be prudent, we saw a rise in membership by a third, a change in focus and in training philosophy towards accommodating all disciplines and developing competitions and the ranges. The NRA in this time by has genuinely engaged in the national shooting debate Glynn driving a number of political issues particularly relating to pistols and the Olympics, which was a new Alger departure for the Association. We have seen NSC not only improve the way they deliver service, we have seen electronic targets, an increase in the number and scale of national competitions run on our ranges and a rise in the number of non-shooting events taking place at Bisley in support of you, to keep your costs reasonable. Having lived through diffi cult times, the NRA and 150th Anniversary of the National Rifl e NSC, working closely together, have paid off the Association debt and are now at a cross-roads. The key question is do we return to type and bumble on, running the Welcome to this Summer Journal which is celebrating Association for the benefi t of the ‘Bisley Rifl e Club’ 150 years of the Association as well as 100 years of or do we truly pick up the mantle of a good national the NRA Journal which started in July 1910. We have body and run Bisley to create a world class facility a few more historical articles than usual which we that makes profi ts to sustain our responsibilities to the hope will be of interest to you. We would also like to sport nationally? Personally, I prefer the latter option wish the best of shooting luck and an enjoyable time because it forces the Association to be more business- to all competitors in the 150th Anniversary Imperial like and professional in its approach and less likely to Meeting. Here’s to the next 150 years! fall into another fi nancial crisis. A Balance The question is how best to use Bisley to create wealth In recent times there has been ongoing speculation for the Association whilst retaining the environment of about the development of Bisley. Conventionally, this Bisley and creating state of the art shooting facilities. proposal has been thought of in terms of buildings In the past we have speculated with the non-shooting rather than use of the facilities. A few years ago we pound and been fearful of its potential consequences. were talking about the non-shooting pound and the Bearing this in mind NSC has shifted its focus towards spectre of the public using Bisley for all sorts of non- maximising shooting at Bisley by trying to attract shooting purposes that would bring in lots of money the military and the police to train here. At the same in support of shooting. There was immediate fear that time there is speculation about military suppliers and ‘outsiders’ would take over Bisley and interfere with manufacturers having workshops, warehouses and our sport or even potentially stop it. The reality was offi ces on site so they can demonstrate to customers. that both the Association and the NSC would never All of this is feasible and a correct way forward but have allowed that to happen because our core purpose it must be handled sensitively because, although is the promotion of shooting and to do that we need this will create more income and be benefi cial in a the full support of our members. political sense, it is bound to create tensions related to the competing interests of the members and the new Equally by now most of you should be aware that commercial customers. the NRA cannot afford to continue to run Bisley on a shoe-string as in the past, because when you run NSC are aware of this and are looking at the possibility your business on a fi nancial knife-edge every now and of creating new range accommodation and reopening again you will fall off and fi nd yourself back where some that have closed to ensure that the needs of we were in 2001. The result has been over the last few income generation are balanced in favour of the years that to achieve a profi t to pay the debt, cuts in members. Basically NSC, quite correctly, will be maintenance and staffi ng were made. This has meant trying to fi ll the ranges every day of the week to meet that the National Shooting Centre has suffered from a our needs going forward. To minimise any potential ‘shabby chic’ look in many areas and in service terms confl ict NSC will be working with the NRA to develop we have not been able to move ahead as quickly as an overall strategy for the development and use of we would have liked. The best example of this is that Bisley to maximise income with the aim of turning the NRA Charity in 2004 was run by 2.5 staff, dealing Bisley into a world class facility and the means of with the needs of the Association, the members, clubs supporting the sport nationally. 2 Charity and Membership a new, very modern, range complex near Lyme Regis There is a fundamental misunderstanding regarding in Dorset called the Tunnel. The facility, which for the what constitutes charity within the National Rifl e most part uses an old road tunnel, is about to open Association. providing 25 and 50 metres fullbore ranges. The plan is that a 100 metres range will also be built in the next As an example the membership subscription that is phase. All ranges are indoor and very modern. There paid to the Association is seen as just that.
