It’s always been a very friendly club.

Origins and Involvement

What inspired you to become a member and what were your early experiences like?

We were at cricket and I don’t know, we (Rob Tomkins, Graham Davis and Ken Kwong) just decided to join.

What is or was your favourite caliber and shooting event?

I always liked air pistol!

What would you say has been your biggest role or contribution to the club?

I was on the committee for a number of years in various positions.

Legacy and Impact

How has the club evolved?

It doesn’t seem as friendly in some ways but that’s because, I think, the (…) people that we knew are no longer here..

Are there any traditions or values you hope future members will preserve?
It’s always been a very friendly club.

Can you share a funny, touching, or unforgettable story from your time here?
I did get shot one time at Nirimba, when I first started and I was shooting a .22 pistol. Somehow it didn’t go off properly and a bit of brass went into my hand. There’s a picture around somewhere (see above!)
