Marian & MDTRA Prize Meetings CANCELLED

#1 Postby Betta » Mon Mar 25, 2019 11:15 am

Hi All

The Marian and MDTRA Prize Meeting to be held at Mt Vince on 11 & 12 May, unfortunately are CANCELLED. Please see below letter from the MDTRA President:


Hi supporters of previous Mackay District Target Rifle Association and Marian Rifle Club Open Prize Meetings.

Although the Mackay Regional Council is now the owner of the Mt Vince rifle range, and the Mackay DRA has a ten year lease agreement with the Council to manage and use the range, we have not yet been able to persuade Queensland Police Service to process our Application for Range Approval. Despite being told on several occasions during this past year that QPS would most likely issue the range approval subject to an inspection at a later date, the newly appointed Authorised Officer is procrastinating about whether or no an inspection is needed before approval.

As many of you are travellers who obviously need to plan your attendance at various prize shoot locations we have taken what we believe to be the logical decision of cancelling the OPMs scheduled for 11/12th May and offer our camping facilities free of charge to any of you who wish to accept the invitation on your way to or from the NQRA Queens. We have been very reluctant to take this action but in fairness to you feel we must to allow you time to plan your itinerary.

Once the range is again operational we plan to hold an official "re-opening" weekend.. I assure you that you will be amongst the first to be told once a date is selected.

Thankyou for your support of our previous OPMs and we trust that you will again visit our range and participate in our Prize Meetings.

We will endeavour to contact as many people for who we have email addresses and would appreciate your assistance by passing this information on to other shooters who may be interested.

Best regards

Ted Mullan
President
Mackay District Target Rifle Association Inc.
