Due to the escalating Coronavirus crisis and our responsibility to act in the public interest, we regrettably confirm this year's Bisley Week 15-22 August is cancelled. This is the correct decision and with the situation changing hourly there is no obvious prospect of rescheduling at a later date. We act in accordance with the government's advice and urge everybody to do the same. Now is the time to STAY HOME, PROTECT OUR NHS and SAVE LIVES. Details concerning competition entry refunds and carry over to future events will follow in due course. In the meantime thank you for your support and understanding and please keep well.

Having monitored the situation regarding Coronavirus and the way things are rapidly progressing, I have looked at the things that we would need to start organising now for the next three major competitions and events. As this would involve considerable cost to the Association and with no guarantee that the events will go ahead, I have decided to cancel the following events:

We have looked at the most effective way to manage our postal competitions whilst following the advice of the Government and agencies such as the World Health Organisation.

I would like to confirm we have regrettably had to cancel the 2020 Junior International in line with Government advice and guidance. This decision reflects our determination to play our part in minimising the risk of infection from the spread of Coronavirus.

Understandably a number of clubs have contacted the Association to seek opinion in what they should do in terms of opening. The impact of Coronavirus on sport in the United Kingdom has been considerable at all levels from elite sport to community based activity. As a National Governing Body we have been monitoring the situation, Government advice and the Prime Minister’s briefings and have made a decision about what we should do in relation to NSRA facilities.

In response to the developing situation with Coronavirus and to follow Government advice, I have decided the Lord Roberts Centre and all of the businesses therein will close at 11.00pm on Tuesday 17th March 2020 and will remain closed for the foreseeable future. I believe this is the best course of action at the present time considering the circumstances.
This will mean the NSRA Shop will also be closed but online sales will continue and be managed remotely, albeit not for firearms and ammunition. Bisley Sports Wholesale will operate in the same way.

A PLAN FOR ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
Several months ago we launched the first stage of a Membership Consultation Process. This was intended to share ideas with you about how we should respond to the challenge of becoming a National Governing Body that is fully fit for purpose and capable of leading you and our Sport in meeting the demands of the 2020’s and beyond. Our success in doing so will enable us to do so much more as an Association. Originally launched as the Membership Transformation Project it was a genuine attempt to start an ongoing conversation. This eventually would lead to an implementation phase but only with the support, understanding and goodwill of the majority of the NSRA Membership.
