AROUND THE TRAPS Cont'd from previous page Gary ~ebster congratulates Ray Coilinson winner of the Queensland Points Score Championship. National Vres~dent, Laurie Connors, prctured with the Queensland Ladies Trap Team. to come from the meeting was my re-election as President of your Association for the ensuing twelve months. I deem it a great honour to hold this position again, and will do my utmost to represent you all, and work on your behalf. Your Vice President is Mr. Roy Holtfreter, with the Management Committee consisting of L. Connors, R. Holtfreter, R. Parker and R. Dean. The A.C.T.A. Legislation Officer is R. Parker. The newly formed Referees Association will be meeting on the 21 & 22 June, 1982 in Melbourne to further discuss our rules. All State Associations, clubs and shooters will be kept well informed on their activities. A State President and Secretaries meeting will he held on Saturday September 4, 1982 in Melbourne. This will be followed by an Executive meeting on Monday 5 md Tuesday 6 September, with all State Presidents and State Secretaries being invited to sit in at the Executive meeting as observers. It was also recommended by the Executive, an attempt be made to create a postal competition for ladies and junior teams, as now exists with the MacIntosh team trophy. This to be encouraged between those countries now competing in the MacIntosh trophy. The ladies and junior teams to be selected at the National Championships. It was also ratified by your Executive that the American Skeet be separated from the D.T.L. Nationals, and a separate Skeet Nationals be instigated. The first of such Nationals is to be run in Victoria in 1983. Further discussion will take place on the Skeet National format and dates to conduct it at the next Executive meeting, tobe held in September, 1982. Let us hope the Skeet Nationals are given proper planning and organizing for the first two or three years, to make sure they receive the shooter support required to make them a success. This will also encourage greater shooter participation in this discipline, making the Skeet Nationals a viable and worth-while venture for the A.C.T.A. and shooting in general. After spending three dafs in Surfers Paradise enjoying a little relaxation after the Nationals, it was back to Melbourne to the A.C.T.A. office. Needing urgent attention was a submission to the Federal Government through the Depart- ment of Home Affairs and Environment. for financial assist- ance under the Sports Development program for 1983. After spending three days at the A.C.T.A. office, I headed to Mildura, arriving home at midnight. I attended the Mildura Gun Club shoot the next day. On the program was the Club's Aggregate Championship, 25 targets D.B., 25 targets S.B., and 25 targets Point Score. The winner, 1982 Nationals "Hot Shot", Larry Dimasi, shooting the 75 targets single barrel. L M27 EJECTOR $325 See you where there is shooting LAURENCE G.

MANAGER FOR U.K. TRAP TEAM It is with much pleasure that I, as Chairman of the International Sub-committee, announce the appointment of Ian Hill, our Executive Director, as Manager of our team to Great Britain In our selection of Ian, we looked at what we would gain from not only as a Manager of the team, but what other positive factors our Association would gain. I would like to list some of those as follows: (a) Ian Hill is in the position of knowing the workings of our Association much better than most and with that knowledge he is very well equipped to discuss with officials of Great Britain our desire for an exchange of ideas. We as a Committee would like to have teams in all shot gun disciplines attending our own National Championships here in Au- stralia. Ian would certainly be much better equipped for his position after seeing - and hearing - what they are doing - to - promote their sport. (b) To those who do not know, Ian did live in Great Britain for several years and he knows the country well, and certainly knows the vagaries of the weather. (c) Some may say Ian does not shoot. In some ways that is good, it is much better to have some one like that, than some one who does a little, but tries to tell the shooters of the calibre of those four who are representing Australia of what they should do. We cannot stress enough the importance of Ian as Manager. Ilis job is to see that the shooters have no hassles while in U.K., and only have to concentrate on the shooting. Ian goes to U.K. with the full confidence of the Executive, the International Sub-committee and the Association. R.F. BUCKAN CHAIRMAN INTERNATIONAL SUB-COMMITTEE 0 "EDITOR'S MAILBOX" Dear Ian, I have been fortunate enough to attend the past twelve National Trap and Skeet Championships. During this time I have met some of the great trap shooters of our time and have had the pleasure of witnessing some of the best shooting one could wish to see which is great to see at National level. I was very disappointed to see the results of our Nationals in Brisbane. Only 20 possible8 in 7 events, for those who did not attend, 3 skeet , 2 handicap, 2 Points Score, 1 Champion of - Champions, 12 Double Barrel. with 500 plus shooters. During the last few years, we have debated many things, in the hope of swelling our Championship attendances, from National grounds to graded shooting at Nationals, which I believe we could well do without and now separate Trap and Skeet Nstionals. At National or club level, it is the new shooters we are trying to encourage to take up our sport. The old faces are always there to help swell the crowd. We dl travel a long Way and pay big money these days for the opportunity to shoot at our Nationals, so let's standardise our targets, bring back the great shoot-offs with targets they can hit, or our attendances could well be diminishing. Brisbane's ground was very difficult to shoot with fluro targets and the changing light, but I do believe the targets were thrown at maximum angles and distances. At the A.G.M. the question was asked "Why are you throwing illegal targets at these Nationals?" The answer from the Chair was "Our instructions to the Committee running the Nationals is to throw maximum distances and maximum angles". Would youbelieve thiscontrary to theA.C.T.A. rules.
