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 />
