The NRA needs business..and that is the shooting fraternity...
If we use it too much then they will have to hire more people...
To be honest, I prefer to shoot at Bisley despite the 700 mile round trip! I do it about 6 times a year (plus having a stand at 3 of the big shooting events). Yes I know it's expensive on fuel and I don't have a huge income, but I do enjoy shooting down there.Alpha1 wrote:Yes lets all drive for half a day arrive knackered have to stay over night to shoot at Bisley then travel back for half a day just to support the NRA. I dont think so. I have no intention of travelling to Bisley to shoot no more than I would expect our Southern freinds to travel down to my local range at Catterick.I would suggest that while the dust settles on what will be a very slimmed down version of the NRA staff structure, we all plan on how we are going to get down to Bisley and use the facilities much more.
The hint is in the name NATIONAL rifle association
I would like the Northern rep to push for more facilities to be made available to us Northeners thank you.
As far as I am concerned the best course of action would be to sell Bisley and use the money to purchase ex MOD ranges around the Country and develop them.
I gathered there is politics and some history on this topic.Mike357 wrote:Nikos, the whole NRA debate is one of the most emotive subjects on here.
The staff, of which some are on here, all seem to be excellent and sometimes take quite a hard time from members about the NRA. Sadly it is the organisation that causes the frustration. Don't worry you'll get used to it.

Those who have been made redundant pending the one week appeal period are:
Chris Webb - Regional Manager
Nick Halford - Membership Assistant
Phyllis Farnan - Director of Training
Elaine Buttle - PA to Secretary General
Graham Gold - Financial Manager
John Swift - Estate Plumber
Peter Woodford - Estate Electrician
Derrick O'Sullivan - Target Shed Manager
Actual dates of leaving are varied, the Estate guys have gone already, but anticipate sooner rather than later so that the restructuring can start to happen.
There are/will be some positions that will need filling within the new structure and some positions planned for the future when we have the money to pay them.
Jobs like the Regional Managers will be spread amongst other staff, not just ignored/not done.
I'm sure that once it all settles down and the appeal period is over, there will be an official statement.
Staff are feeling a bit bruised and emotional at the moment.
