Not that I didn't believe you Rod, but the confirmation is now announced on the NSWRA website.

Might be the last one at ANZAC so put it on your calendar everyone!

I'm looking forward to it, was slightly gutted when it didn't happen the first time around. My first Queens, have to be able to say I shot one at Anzac!

Does anyone know if the Electronic Targets will be used for the Queens?

For the originally scheduled Queens, I believe TR were going shoot on electronic and F-Class on manual. I haven't heard anything different for the rescheduled event.

I would imagine as per before in the details that TR was on electronic and F class was on the Manual targets, the NSWRA has yet to advertise the Queens and other events in the magazine with the usual entry form with details, like in the past. This form should have this information as per before.

There is an update on the NSWRA website as of today with regard to meeting the Commonwealth Govt. and the 31st January deadline and the impasse that has been reached. Please read the following or go to the NSWRA website

NSWRA MALABAR RANGE UPDATE

MEMO: ALL NSWRA MEMBERS
FROM: JOHN FITZGERALD - CHAIRMAN NSWRA

SUBJECT: UPDATE TERMINATION NOTICE ANZAC RIFLE RANGE.

At the request of NSWRA a meeting was called Thursday last week 17th November in the offices of our lawyers Hunt&Hunt between the Commonwealth Dept of Finance and Deregulation (DOFAD the landlord) for Anzac Rifle Range Malabar, and us (NSWRA) to discuss the Termination of Occupancy Notice issued by DOFAD effective January 31st 2012.

Rick Ashton NSWRA Treasurer and Public Officer and myself together with our lawyer Jim Harrowell AM (Hunt&Hunt) were present on behalf of NSWRA with Matthew Roser from Blake Dawson (lawyers acting for the Commonwealth) Rachael Manley Legal Branch DOFAD and Adrian Kirk Director Property Branch DOFAD.

The purpose of the meeting was to put forward NSWRA’s position in relation to the circumstances surrounding the Termination Notice and the consequences for NSWRA members if it was enforced, with hopefully a resolve to the impasse beneficial to all parties.

Unfortunately I advise the meeting did not conclude on a positive note. The lawyer for the Commonwealth suggested if NSWRA was finding it impossible logistically to vacate the complex by this deadline then maybe an extension of “a couple of weeks” may be agreed to. This was completely unacceptable to us – we are not going to capitulate for even a couple of month’s extension.

Consequently our lawyers have been instructed to prepare to file for an injunction for a stay of proceedings pending our case challenging the Termination Notice on the grounds of not adhering to certain conditions in our Licence Agreement (Contract) and in fact relying on an “implied term” as such, in the Federal Court.

Hon. Bob Ellicott QC (a former Federal Attorney General) has been engaged as our Senior Counsel to fight our case and has expressed an opinion in so doing. His opinion has given us every confidence that we have a winnable case. We expect the injunction to be lodged sometime in the first week of December, unless of course in the interim the Commonwealth recognises that common sense should prevail and are prepared to compromise their unconscionable determination to decimate our sport.

Further announcements will be made as they come to hand and as I have stated previously you will be kept fully abreast of the proceedings – Do not listen to the “Chinese Whispers”!

John Fitzgerald,

Chairman,

NSWRA Inc.,

Ben,

Performance-wise, disappointing. I had some loads that were going nicely at home before leaving, but they didn't like the altitude or humidity or something at Canberra, so spent all of the leadup plus 1st day of the Queens trying to sort out loads. I eventally found the recipe for a 6.5 barrel, but then got "Canberra-ed" by the conditions at a few ranges on the last two days. I've shot Canberra for the last 7 years now, and found it usually gets the last word.

I am determined to get things better sorted for ANZAC!

Alan
