The NSRA represents around 900 clubs which cover a diverse range of disciplines. The clubs all have their own “character” and most members and committee members put in an inordinate amount of work to maintain them. Across these clubs some are mainly focussed on recreational shooting. However, others have a more competitive focus and aspire to enrol, nurture and prepare high quality competitive shooters – many of whom aspire to represent their county, region or country in high level competition.
At the NSRA we receive a great many enquiries from people wanting to find a club in their area. The majority of these are new to shooting and really don’t know (or only have a vague idea) which discipline they wish to try. However, we do get enquiries from people who want to compete from the start and aspire to Commonwealth Games or Olympics or just to be, “…the best they can be…” Clearly, if this latter group are directed to a club that has a sole purpose of recreation, shooting non-ISSF disciplines or has no facilities or coaching available for these disciplines then sending them to these clubs would not be suitable and could result in them not taking up the sport. Further to this we often get current shooters who would like to join another, more competitive club to be with like-minded individuals, appropriate facilities or good coaching.

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.

The rate of progress with the renovations and alterations at NSRA Aldersley has far outstripped my wildest expectations. Our volunteers have been amazing and we are very grateful for all the time they have given so generously. It has been great team effort with members of all three ‘in-house’ clubs (Aldersley Aigunners – our over fifties group, Goodyear Rifle Club and Lucas Rifle and Pistol Club) coming together to help.

I am delighted that, after the disappointment of not being able to compete last year, we shall be able to fire the Randle Match in 2021, albeit in not quite the usual way!

Two weeks ago we emailed a number of members whose membership had lapsed as of 31 December 2020. Our concern was with the resumption of shooting recently it was important your membership and insurance cover was in place and valid. All those emailed normally renew by Direct Debit and for reasons we have already published those auto-renewal payments were not taken.
In our recent communication we confirmed our intention to apply for such a payment today. A number of you have already contacted us and if payment has been made by another method or you do not wish to renew at all your details have been removed from the direct debit run. If a payment is taken in error please advise us by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and a refund will be processed.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding in this matter.
