EXTRA
PRACTICE DAYS
DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE
YOU SHOOTING
TECHNIQUES
After
the successfull trialing of the extra Practice
session on the
3rd
Saturday of the month the NLMCTC have seen enough support from
both members and visiting shooters to make it
a permanent
event.
This is a great chance for those shooters who have
trouble
getting to the club on a Wednesday afternoon
for a practice.
John Paul will be coordinating the Practice sessions and it
is important
that you contact him a couple
of days prior to the Saturday to
register
your interest.
Practice will start at
10. 00am so if you would like
to take advantage of these extra Practice
opportunities then please
contact
JOHN
PAUL …………
0249-426081
And
don’t forget … Practice, Practice,
Practice…
P.S. Why not bring the family with
you and make use of
the clubs BBQ facilities and enjoy lunch in the natural
bushland
setting of the clubs
grounds.

YOU MUST SHOW YOUR FIREARMS
LICENCE.
*** NO SHOW NO SHOOT
***
Amendment to Club Approvals by
additional
conditions requiring licence
checks.
From the Firearms
Registry 25th July
2005.
Quote: “ Club officials must check that
members/visitors
possess a current firearms licence
EVERY time
they
participate in club activities, The club official must
view
the firearms licence expiry date and ensure
the category of
firearm and relevant genuine reason on the
rear of the
licence matches the respective club
activity. The ONLY
exception is where a temporary exemption has
been granted
authorising a new club member to handle
firearms under
supervision. Section 68 of the Firearms Act
1996 confirms
a licence or permit must be produced on
demand by a police
officer. Club officials have reported to the
Firearms Registry
of
being confronted by members/visitors suggesting Section
68 confirms a police officer ONLY can demand to view
a
firearms licence. This is not correct.
Club officials must
conduct this physical check EVERY time prior to
allowing
the person to participate in club activities
that involves
the handling of a
firearm.
As a delegate of
the NSW Police Commissioner, the
Manager Services ao the NSW Firearms
Registry, under
Clause 80(1)©, (4)(b) & (5) of the NSW
Firearms
(General) Regulations 1997, requires such
physical licence
inspections as a condition of your club’s
approval.
The club is
obliged to refuse participation by any
person
who is unable to produce a current firearms
licence for
the category of firearm and relevant genuine
reason.
The practice by
the Firearms Registry of notifying
clubs
when a member’s licence is suspended or
revoked will
continue. However the club should not rely
solely upon
this notification and must conduct the above
physical
check without exception. “ End Quote.
