\subject{Projectile Hall}
\opening{Dear Mr. McAuley,}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Further to our meeting 15/5/00, we would like to express our gratitude
for the time you took to meet with us. While we are pleased that the
proposed projectile hall meets the requirements in length and height
set out in the recognised standards for target shooting, we would like
to further express our concerns with respect to the proposed width of
the projectile hall.

The minimum width of 12.5 metres, as specified in our proposal document, 
is the minimum width permitted by the recognised standards
for target shooting. The currently proposed width of 9.5 metres is
insufficient to allow us to hold internal competitions, or external
competitions at inter-club levels or upwards.

The NTSA have stated that with a sufficiently large range, they would be
eager to institute a training program for DURC shooters using national
and international level coaches. However, seven firing lanes is
insufficient for this. 

We are also concerned that with just seven firing points, we will still
be forced to restrict membership or necessary training time for each
member, which we feel is an unacceptable compromise of safety and
training.

In conclusion, we are very excited at the prospect of new and improved
facilities, and the potential these facilities represent. Thank you
again for your time and we look forward to future collaboration on the
design of the new facilities.

%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\closing{Yours Sincerely,}
