\topic{Secretarys Report}
Mark reported that the TTT was underway with a slow start.
Stickers had to be resent to RRPC owing to a mixup in postal
addresses, the RRPC contact having moved house and dropped
out of RRPC since the last TTT competition. 

\task{Mark}{Proceed with the TTT}

The Freedom of Information Act applies to college activities
as of this October: Mark brought the advisory notes from
College and they were discussed at length. It was agreed that
the Club would have to pay more attention to its records.
It was also agreed to add a warning to email regarding
non-confidentiality of email.

\task{All}{Append warning to email signatures regarding
non-confidentiality}

\topic{A\&E Report}
Pat Moray is still not happy with the situation as regards
the storage of privately held rifles in college facilities.

Millards no longer have any Lapua Master ammunition in stock.
We need to select ammunition to use for the coming year.
Winchester T22 remains the standard training ammunition
grade, but competition grade has to be selected as Lapua are
approaching their 60\% price rise. It was agreed to get a
price for the new SK-Lapua ammunition. 

\task{John}{Price SK ammunition}

\topic{Rest of Meeting}
\begin{center}
\textit{At this point the meeting structure broke down and so
the rest of the minutes are listed as the discussion
progressed}
\end{center}

Ben reported that Cathy is unhappy about the level of
transparancy in the procedure for purchasing ammunition and
is concerned over DUCAC paying for some ammunition twice.
This poses the problem of raising sufficent cash to pay for
ammunition on the order of 10,000 rounds which is the
quantity Millards wish to deal in. Cathy says DUCAC will pay
for competition ammunition but she wants paperwork for each
competition detailing who has shot how much ammunition.

This was agreed to be a major problem - the amount of money
required would cripple the Club as we do have to purchase
consumables to operate. It was agreed that social events have
to be cut back for financial reasons and that corporate
sponsorship needed to be sought as previously discussed. 

Some aspects of Freshers Week were briefly discussed, it
being noted that the traditional party needed to be cut back,
the safety lecture shortened and the possibility of upping
the membership fees was mentioned but dismissed. 

Ben pointed out that this is the start of the College
Financial Year and thus our grants are coming up. It was
agreed to defer that discussion however. 

Mark suggested that if we are to be audited, that the club
pursue the payment of the remainder of the monies owed by
DUCAC over the purchase of the Kurt Thune jackets, which was
several hundred pounds. John was convinced that that money
was not retrieveable, Mark was convinced it was if the club
did not pursue it. The matter was not resolved.

Ben wanted an offical decision on whether we were going to buy
bulk ammunition - it was decided that we would not do so yet.

Ben noted the high level of RO Credits, a system currently
being abused by ROs, and asked the highest debtors to pay
promptly. Alan said he would pay in full on Sept. 20th, his
first payday in his new Postgraduate post, and Conor paid
\pounds15 on the spot to clear his account. 

\task{All}{Pay RO Credits promptly}

Mark reported that there was a possibility that we would
receive a bill from FSC for range hire for the DURC Open.
This brought up the matter of bills for last years events. A
letter had been sent offically to the NTSA regarding the
paperwork required for billing DURC, and imposing a deadline
of August 31st for receipt of bills for last years events. If
we were to pay the FSC bill, it was felt this would
invalidate that notice. A proposal was put forward that all
bills received after August 31 for events before August 31
would be summarily refused. An offical vote was held : Mark,
Conor and Ben voted for, Alan and John were opposed. The
proposal was therefore carried.

\subtopic{East Antrim}
The paperwork was reported as being complete for going to the
EARC Festival on September 29/30. Mark's paperwork for his
personal rifles is not complete owing to Civil Service
delays. 
Transport arrangements were discussed - Ray, Peter and Alan
are able to drive in N.Ireland. Mark cannot due to insurance
restrictions by AXA and he cannot have anyone other than Ray
or Keith on his insurance due to an age restiction by AXA. It
was hinted that he might want to try for his full licence -
it was then pointed out by Mark that that was a strange
request since all present had great expertise in pointing out
flaws in his driving technique \smiley.
The list of people going was Mark, Ray, Ben, Alan, Peter,
Steven and John, with Liam Murray as a possible. Conor cannot
go barring him finding someone to cover at work for that
weekend - he was encouraged to do so due to the size of the
EARC competition.

\subtopic{New Rules}

Mark brought up two new rules from the NTSA meeting. Firstly
was a safety ruling regarding the firing of shots into the
backstop at Rathdrum - owing to the nature of that backstop,
this was a dangerous procedure and it will be penalised in
future. 

Second was a ruling on claiming cards at competitions - it is
now offically ruled that if you claim your cards at a
competition, you formally give up your right to challenge
scores and you lose all splits by default. This is due to the
nature of the regauging process used in determining splits.
Procedures for shooting competitions were discussed in light
of this ruling, though Mark pointed out that this was
standard at all NSRA competitions. 

\subtopic{Junior Match in Bisley}
The fiasco of organisation that this match turned out to be
was discussed - Mark had made an offical complaint to the
NTSA and had been given apologies by both Pat O'Brien and
Geoff Cooney. Ben and Alan wanted a formal complaint made,
however Mark pointed out that this would be a poor mark on
Geoffs record when he is about to bring in a large and
much-needed change to the classification system. It was
agreed that Mark would as ask for a written apology instead.

\task{Mark}{Ask Geoff and Pat for a written apology for
DUCAC's eyes}
