This is indicative of the interest D.U.R.C. now take in the sport itself, in
that we now hope to further the interests of shooting in Ireland in general
and see to it that D.U.R.C.'s voice is heard.
The membership this year is so far a record 270+ and overall the
general members have been willing to participate more than normal.
Several of this year's members have taken an extra interest and so
hopefully will help next year to keep the club going.
This year's team of Range Officers have on the whole proven
themselves a verry hard working lot as is evidenced by the current state
of the club. Between them they have made possi.ble the present enviable
state of the club in its Silver Jubilee year. Everyone has contributed: our
Captain Ian has presided ably over us all and has spent much time in
drawing up the plans for what we hope will be our range of the future.
GerrY has provided the money -God alone knows how -Barbara keeping us
all'together and being a volunteer par excellence. Brendan has ensured that
we got all our competition cards shot -and on time too! -probably for the
first time in club history; not to mention introducing us to the "Apple
Mac"; Trevor for his work in several areas and always being willing to help
out when needed; Heather for her recruitment drive and promotion of
Sporting Rifle; Joe for sound advice; Carlos for his silent achievements in
Air Rifle and Keith for his computer wizzardry and the occasional bit of
D.I. Y. .Alan has provided the humour; Sarah for her commitment to the
sport in general and Air Rifle in particular. William introduced us to
punctuality, efficiency and helped push up our averages both as a
competitor and as an excellent coach and made us believe anything is
possible.
I hope our current rate of proQress will continue, that we may work
in the interests of D.U.R.C. and that In turn we shall derrive from it and
from each other more of the satisfaction and happiness that we :have to
date.
