In other words, we have no tiresome restrictions to worry us and, in my own mind, I liken the future work of the Counch to that of an advance guard, in that the chier duty of, both is to "brush aside all opposition" should it be that any is

Bisley Meetings of the National Rife Association at home, wit agree- with me that, without It, the N.R.A. would rapidly become defunct since a meeting such as this is the very Ilfe-blood of any rifle-shoot- ing organisation and to-night I ask for a unanimous vote in favour of one being organised and hid

I consider that the sooner we hold the first function in connec tion with the new Association, the better will it be from every point- of-view and particularly for the reason that it will be an cutward and visive sign that we intend to make it the largest, as regards. membership and the most virile and powerful or any which exist

I therefore sug- gest that we hold our first annual dinner in about six weeks' time, to be precise on the evening of Satur- day, July 20th, when, at Bisley, at) three o'clock on that afternoon, the final stage of the blue riband of the rifle-shooting world will be shot for. Needless to say, I refer to the final stage of His Majesty
the King's Prize, and I suggest that we, as an Association, approach the local broadcasting authorities with the request that the Empire
