Hey Geoff,
I think you will find the teams are before the QRA queens not the national queens.

I trully believe that a boycott will make them understand that FClass is not the poor relative here!The quicker we let them know the better.As I said before,I refuse to subsidy the 30 plus TR badges,and I won't be going and I hope many others will be doing the same.I know,this is not a way to solve the problem,but if there is another way, let's hear it SOON and ACT!

Peter,

A boycott will only be effective if a large proportion of shooters join it. Otherwise it just becomes a case of a few shooters missing out on the fun. If the NRAA does not respond in a reasonable way to a petition then many more shooters will be prepared to participate in a boycott (myself for one). At the moment, our poll suggests that most prefer the petition approach (for now).

Hi Alan
I uderstand all this and I don't have a problem going with the majority of votes.What I think is going to happen is, that NRAA,when the message is received,they will give us a very diplomatic answer and life goes on.So,now we need somebody with a very good master of firm English language to start a petition process and we take it from there.

Lucky you added those last couple of state queens badges to your collection last year Alan! They'll be a collectors item from now on. :D

One problem I see with the boycott is, there are some opportunitistic folk around, diminished numbers means increased chances.

Regardless, unless something changes, I won't be at the nationals this year. It's the strongest message I can send and it assures the massive entry fee I pay won't be pissed away on a cause that means little to me.

I'll be using the time to do a spot of hunting and cray fishing at a top spot while I ponder my 2017 campaign, don't feel bad for me, this place could take the popes mind off his vow of celibacy.

Perhaps we could all meet at your place to discuss this further (over dinner?)

Unlimited crays seems to make everything better. Maybe we could buy the board off?

Off topic but I cannot resist. :wink:

The current board is not even worth a solitary salt water cray. :roll:
Me thinks a lone yabbie or possible a small shrimp would suffice. :lol:
