ASSOCIATION ··

(Continued from Page 15.)

In addition to these gentlemen who honoured the Association by accepting the invitation of the Council to become Honorary Life Members of the Association during 1936, the following Officers also accepted similar invitatións, which were extended to them during the year under review:--

Field-Marshall Bir Cyril J. O. Deverell, G.C.B. KB.E, Chief of the Imperial General Stair.

Major D. E Steers, OBE, RE, Founder and. first Honorary Secre- tary of this Association.

INDIVIDUAL FULL MEMBERSHIP

While the individual full mem- bership on 31/12/36 stood at 469, this fell, as from 1/1/37 to 275, a reduction of 194. The loss of the large majority of these members was chiefy due to those of the Regular "Fighting Services being moved elsewhere on completion of their tour-of-duty in the Colony.

The loss of these 194 members was made good at the commence- ment of the shooting season in | September, and it will also be no- ticed that largely owing to the unprecedented numbers of mem- bers of the 1st Bn. The Middlesex Regiment who joined the Associs- tion between October 1, and Dec.

Some idea of the increasing in- terest in rife-shooting may be ob- tained from the following figures:— ENTRIES AT MEETINGS

on the last day of 1937 stood at the record igure of 670, on which date: 854 individual full members had been enrolled since the date of the inception of the Association, June 5th, 1935.

In brief, the loss of 194 members was not only made good, bat no less than 201 new members werc obtained in addition-a total of 395 during the year-or more than one new member per diem.

AFFILIATED MEMBERSHIP

In the Annual Report for 1936, it was pointed out that the Rules of the Association had been so framed as to permit all amliated units and clubs to pay a certain lump sum aliated subscription. which would permit all the mem- bers of these organisations to prac- tise on the ranges, when target accommodation was available.

The consequent result of this ap- rangement is no longer open to doubt, as is evidenced by the fact that, at the present time, the fol-- lowing organisations are affiliated to the Association:—

SPOON AND PRACTICE SHOOT

In the Report for 1936, it was mentioned that between the incep- tion

of the Association and the end of December la that year. over 3,600 members had attended the ordinary Spoon and Practice Shoots, the actual figures for 1936 being 1,091, and 2725 in 1936. The number attending during 1937 were 2281, and the falling off was the direct result of the move of the 2nd Ba. The Royal Welch Fusillers and the 1st Bn. The Royal Ulster Rifles to Shanghal during the autumn. These two units had by far the largest membership (as regards individual full members) of Association, and the Council are much gratiaed at the way in which members of the 1st Bb The Middlesex Regiment and the 1st Bn. The Seaforth Highlanders have come forward to all the gap.
