Minister Dermot Ahern Outlines Handgun Ban
The Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern has outlined new proposals to seriously curtail the licensing of handguns in the state. The full text of his announcement can be found here.

The NTSA has no further details on how exactly this new regime will be implemented, but wish to point to the following paragraph in the Minister's statement "The Minister is prepared to make very limited exceptions in relation to Olympic sports only." Until we have further information, we are advising our members not to initiate any license applications for the present.

The Minister has also specified that radical tightening of the procedures for licensing handguns will be adopted and we assume that these will also apply to our members when they are published. We will advise you should any further details become available.

WTSC

WTSC 10m Airgun Open

October 11/12 2008

WTSC, Wilkinstown, Co.Meath

Five Details:

Saturday 11th 1700

Sunday 12th 0900, 1100, 1330, 1530

Four competitions:

10m Air Rifle Men

10m Air Rifle Women

10m Air Rifle Juniors

10m Air Pistol

The Junior's match will be shot concurrently with either 10m Men or 10m Women's air rifle, and will consist of the first forty competition shots in those matches. Air pistol does not as yet have a junior section or classes due to the numbers involved.

Entry fee is €15 (€10 for juniors and students)

There are only 25 slots available in total (one hospital bay is being reserved on each detail) and four competitions, so pre-booking is essential. Booking closes on Wednesday October 8th at 1700h. No bookings will be accepted after that date (and you know I'm an inflexible sod on things like this, right?).

Unfortunately our online booking system is still teething, so all bookings should be sent by email to Secretary@wilkinstowntargetshootingclub.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ; or by SMS or phone to 0857747546; or by posting a comment on the WTSC website or on the WTSC Bebo page or by PM on boards or... well, you get the idea. Contact myself (if you contact Geoff he has to pass it on to me and someone else may get your slot beforehand by coming direct to me).

Prizes will be given out for first, second and third in each competition, and for first, second and third in each class in air rifle; there will be a spot prize of €100 for any 100/100 series shot in the match; all medals will be awarded at the club's Medals Night later this year, and certificates will be awarded on the day .
