Reading University Shooting Club

#1 Post by hitchphil »

Are there any: staff, parents of students, friends of shooting students, students, post grads or graduates of Reading University on here?

We are trying to save their shooting club & need help.

If not already involved (you know who you are) Please PM me.

Also if you are a shooter & shoot or live in Reading you may be able to help?

cheers

currently everything is on ice. Until we get a Student on the inside to raise student membership there isnt much more we can do but preserve the kit for now.

And this does not sound too good either. A renowned research university, ignores facts and evidence to appease a small group of trouble makers:

Ultimately, unis are now reliant on the income that students bring through tuition fees, this has meant that tantrums thrown by a small number often lead to quick policy changes due to a fear of a future loss of income.
