Scottish Clay Target Association

Hi fellow shooters, I hope you are bearing up well and keeping safe in these troubled times.

I have been asked a few times now about when we can get back shooting so I thought I would give some reassurance that the SCTA are listening closely to government advise and will be following that. As soon as we do come out of lockdown this year, we will be looking at staging as many Scottish Championships as possible, so there will be an updated fixture list once we get back going again.

As you know, due to not holding registered competitions we are not getting any levies into the bank, around £29,000, but also as the Home Internationals have been postponed this year we will not have to pay for our teams to attend. So this is working out as a break even situation. The association has a healthy bank balance and this will help to make sure the SCTA remains a solid and solvent association, ready to take up where we left off this year. The memberships this year have paid for the our memberships to affiliated associations such as the ICTSC, ICTSF, BICTSF, insurance, printing and administration and allowing your Board to function. Recently we held a virtual Board Meeting via conference call and it went very well, so we will try this again at the end of next month.

The Board would like to thank you for your ongoing support and I hope to see you on a shooting ground in the near future.

Stay safe...
