It is now two years since the sad passing of the Association’s Vice Chairman, Ken Nash. Ken had played an active and important role in smallbore shooting for very many years and in the elected position in the Board of Trustees he was able to help managing the affairs of the NSRA.
In addition to the huge amounts of his time devoted to the Association over the years Ken made a final and significant contribution by means of a bequest to the NSRA. He had, along with his wife Cherry and many other members and affiliated clubs, made loans to the Association to provide working capital. The amount of the outstanding loans he had made at the time of his death was £79,500 and he bequeathed these loans to the NSRA in a final act of generosity.
