AROUND T TRAPS<br />

Sunday April S5, <strong>1982</strong><br />

The Internatbnal Sub-committee met on this day at the<br />

P.C.T.A. office in Melbourne. It is well known now, this<br />

committee is responsible for aJl facets of our international<br />

shooting, be it D.T.L., Skeet or Olympic trap and skeet. It is<br />

also responsible for providing a budget for its operation to the<br />

full Executive for approval. Its financial year runs from 1st<br />

<strong>Jul</strong>y to 30th June. It is obvious a great deal of money is<br />

required to fulfill all the desires of this committee. Its<br />

recommendation on <strong>1982</strong>-83 involvement for our shooters<br />

include United Kingdom trap team to be selected at Brisbane<br />

Nationals, Commonwealth Games, training camps, World<br />

Championships, Caraca and Canada, skeet team to either<br />

America or Great Britain, all of which require a great deal of<br />

funds to implement.<br />

In my conversations with a great number of shooters, they<br />

all agree with the concept of sending our top shots to compete<br />

in other countries, to further their experience. To assist with<br />

moneys required to implement these trips, a $5.00 levy has<br />

been placed on State, Commonwealth and National I.S.U.<br />

Championships. Also $3.00 was added to the <strong>1982</strong> National<br />

D.B., S.B. and Point Score Championships and purposely set<br />

aside for the Great Britain trip. Industry too, is assisting with<br />

funds needed. Winchester Australia and Eley Ammunition<br />

donated guns to be raffled and drawn at the Presentation<br />

Dinner to be held at the completion of the <strong>1982</strong> Nationals, a<br />

great gesture by these two firms.<br />

It has been agreed your National <strong>Association</strong> will be<br />

responsible for the conduct of all future National and<br />

Commonwealth I.S.U. Championships. These havc previously<br />

been hosted by clubs throughout Australia.<br />

Monday April 26, <strong>1982</strong><br />

A meeting of the Management Committee was held at the<br />

A.C.T.A office on this day. The 1981 accounts and balance<br />

sheet were discussed, together with results of the first three<br />

months of our <strong>1982</strong> operation. Our Accountants, Deloitte,<br />

Haskins and Sells now provide quarterly operational costs<br />

against budget. This should prove beneficial to the Executive<br />

in its general administration. Deloitte, Haskins and Sells are<br />

dso engaged to implement the first stage of the Feasibility<br />

Study, on our National Ground. I will keep you posted on the<br />

progress, as I am most anxious to see a final decision made on<br />

this project as soon as possible.<br />

Tuesday April 27, 2982<br />

Part of this day was spent at the A.C.T.A. office attending to<br />

administration before heading for my home town Mildura,<br />

where I stayed the night, packed a case and headed for<br />

Emerald in Queensland. Gemfields Gun Club, forty<br />

kilometres out of Emerald were hosts to the Queensland State<br />

Carnival, over Saturday 1st. Sunday 2nd and Monday 3rd<br />

May <strong>1982</strong>. I was invited, and as it was only the weekend<br />

before the pre-nationals at Brisbane Gun Club, I thought I<br />

would make the effort to be there. The club has only recently<br />

established itself in the area, and is equipped with excellent<br />

facilities, in five D.T.L. trap layouts, spacious club rooms with<br />

office, bar, kitchen and good toilet and shower amenities. It<br />

also has powered sites available for caravan and tent campers<br />

on the ground. These were in full use by some of the two<br />

hundred and seven shooters who attended the Carnival from<br />

all over Queensland, with visitors from South Australia in<br />

e Well known shooters at the Queensland State Carnival, L<br />

State Double Barrel Championship from Richard Dean Bris-<br />

bane 84/85.<br />
