To become a full member of the smallbore section, all members must have demonstrated a full understanding of range rules and safety, upon approval they automatically become available for selection as range officers must offer to cover - or will be allocated dates during the year where they must provide range officer cover for the site. If they are not able to attend on the allocated day it is their responsibility to arrange for another member to cover for them. Failure to provide cover on two or more occasions will result in a vote being taken to decide if continued club membership is desirable. The club believes that all Range Officers, regardless of how long they have carried out this duty, would benefit from the increased knowledge of current requirements and thinking which will in turn produce increased confidence Should you wish to become qualified please contact the NSRA T:0148 348 5555 and ask for an RCO pack to be sent to you, this will cost you £10. Once you have had time to thoroughly assimilate the details in the document & feel confident with your knowledge please contact Glynn Jones our Club Instructor who is qualified to carry out the assessment at the range at a mutually acceptable date and time. The assessment is not onerous and would only take around one hour Once successfully completed, two certificates will be received from the NSRA, one for you to display at home and the other which will be displayed at the club To become a range officer in the Rimfire section you need to have been completed the minimum probationary period of three months and have been voted in as full member by the executive committee
