Hello and welcome to Dublin University Rifle Club.  On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank you all, for parting with three of your precious pounds to join our club.  

For some of you, the decision to join may have been easy; for others, it may have been difficult.  The former, I congratulate on their good taste; the latter on their good judgement.  However, I am confident that, for those who persue shooting throughout the academic year, you will come to see your decision as a choice well made.

By joining DURC, you have taken the first step towards sewing yourself into the rich tapestry of college life.  As one of the largest and oldest sporting clubs in college, we have a constant presence on Trinity's sporting scene.  

The first documented shooting competition to have taken place in college, was in the 19th Century, and although modern incarnation of the club is not so old (we formed in 1962), we have still achieved a great deal in our 40 years.  Recent memorable achievements include Ray Reilly's repeated selection for the European championships and for World Cup duty.  

Last year saw no small contribution to our history from our members.  The undoubted highlight was Mark Dennehy's Gold medal in the indoor national championships.  However, the breadth of our strength was shown at the outdoor national championships, when John Keeney took the Silver medal and Alan Smyth and Ray Reilly excelled to both finish in the top eight.  Our International reputation was enhanced when Peter Byrne and Conor McDermottroe qualified for the Irish junior team.  

When these successes are taken alongside our Colours performance, in which we defeated UCD convincingly, it becomes clear that DURC is a potent force in Irish shooting.  

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to become a part of that force, to take your place in our history and to use our club to become one of Ireland's top sportsmen and sportswomen.  The prospect may seem daunting, especially if you have not shot before, but rest assured that we can provide the facilites and the expertise to get you to that level.

See you in the range soon.  Good luck and good shooting
