Presidents Notes
A lot can happen in a month and the first
three items in this report are updates on
items from last month.
Grounds Developments
National Grounds
The extra skeet layout and the two extra
trap layouts mentioned last month are
now becoming reality. Work is about
half completed on the skeet layout and
about to commence on the extra trap
layouts.
Victorian Clay Target Association – Echuca
The Executive have approved a further loan to the VCTA as
pre-empted in last month’s column. The extra $100,000 is to
provide support to the VCTA in its bid to secure major Victorian
Government funding. This grant scheme is solely for shooting bodies,
and the Association wishes VCTA well with their application. The
VCTA has already repaid $40,000 of the original loan.
Belmont Complex – Brisbane
We have now been involved in a second stakeholders meeting
regarding the development of a shotgun facility at the Belmont
complex in Brisbane for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Indications now are that a new facility will be developed in another
area of the complex with the ultimate aim to be the relocation
of the existing club following the games. Management of the new
complex is likely to be in the form of an entity comprising the local
club, and the major State and National stakeholders. ACTA interest
here is to ensure the facility becomes available to the club and the
QCTA and remains under the auspices of the ACTA. Some financial
commitment may become necessary in the future to fulfil this aim.
International Clay Target Shooting Federation
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that Denmark has now
joined the ICTSF and has indicated an intention to have a team at
the forthcoming World DTL in Ireland.
ISSF Nationals
The ISSF Nationals have just finished and congratulations to the
National Title winners, Keith Ferguson, James Willett, Laetisha
Scanlan, Aislin Jones and Adam Vella. Many thanks must go to
the Brisbane club volunteers who did a great job, the ACTA staff
in attendance and the volunteer officials. These officials give freely
of their time and I can tell you do not get a great deal of thanks,
so if you see any of them about, give them a pat on the back.
It is disappointing that not one winner managed to meet all the
requirements of Shooting Australia’s Olympic selection policies
to be automatically named for RIO. A full report will be in a later
magazine.
Constitution
The AGM and The Notice of Motion to move the Association to a
Company Limited by Guarantee approaches quickly. By the time you
have read this the Executive Officer will have already been to two
2
AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – MARCH 2016
State meetings explaining the proposal and the reasons why change
is needed. He will be travelling to three more States in the coming
months. All States were offered this opportunity but some have not
taken it up.
There is a lot of misinformation out there, a lot from people who
have not even read the document or are aware of the history. One
piece of misinformation is that this is being driven by the Executive
Officer. I will tell you now this is being driven by me as President and
the National Executive who unanimously endorsed the proposal
in June. This matter has been a topic of discussion at the informal
meetings following AGMs for a number of years, well prior to the
current EO returning to the ACTA. This matter has been the
subject of presentations by experts to Executive Committees on
several occasions over the last decade. The members of the current
Executive all know it is the right thing for the future of the ACTA and
all should be appreciative they have been prepared to put the ACTA
first as this proposal means the demise of the Executive as we all
know it.
This proposal will provide the following benefits to the ACTA:
ACTA will only require the one National registration as opposed to
the current two needed to operate in every State.
ACTA will be able to apply for State funding in NSW for our
National Ground which we can’t do currently.
ACTA will be in a stronger position to canvass other bodies
including Shooting Australia and the Australian Sports Commission.
A Company Limited by Guarantee is the recognised contemporary
governance model for Not for Profit National Sporting
Organisations.
Directors will have the ACTA alone in their mind, not their club,
their zone and their State that is currently in the mind of each
National Delegate.
The number of elected Administrators will be more than halved
with proportionate savings to be had.
A smaller, better qualified, more responsive governing body will
result.
If your club does not know whether to support this Notice of Motion,
please take the time to ring the Executive officer who will be more
than happy to answer your questions.
I would hate to see this proposal fail purely from ignorance and
misinformation.
Until next month.
Robert Nugent

CLOSING DATE FOR ADVERTISING IN THE

Executive Officer’s Report
How quickly the year seems to be passing, the National ISSF
Championships have already concluded in Brisbane. Congratulations
to everyone who attended and contributed to the great feel around
the event. Congratulations also to all individual and team winners
at all levels. The introduction of the veteran’s section was a huge
hit and we expect to see the nominations increase in future years.
It was great to see the Papua New Guinea contingent at the
National event. They set up their own tent on the ground and were
always willing to assist with scoring and refereeing when required.
We will continue to invite our close neighbours to try to encourage
closer competition opportunities for all in the Oceania region. I
take the opportunity to thank Barry Knight and all the volunteers
of the Brisbane Gun Club for their efforts. I have been to many
championships and know the effort it takes to find volunteers to fill
the positions required. It is not just a matter of turning up on the
day, they spend weeks preparing for the event and then put in 12
hour days to ensure everything works for the competition, a further
7 day period. A huge thank you, to those at the club who made the
2016 National event a success
The Association has met the requirements of NSW Firearms in
relation to the conduct of the arms fair for the National Trap and
Skeet Championships for 2016. We have also had further discussion
on the naming of the “arms fair” and the specific requirements for
its conduct. There are new guidelines to be placed on the agenda of
the “Legislation committee” a consultative body to NSW Firearms
for consideration before being placed in front of law makers. The
differences between an open field day event and a Club, State or
National shoot were made very clear and the feeling is that there is
an opportunity to provide different requirements, this would be good
news for the industry.
The annual Audit is now underway with preliminary results showing
that the Association has finished very close to and within the
expectations of the budget.
The Annual report is now also being compiled for the 2016 AGM,
which shows the results of numerous projects and developments
within the organisation and also highlights the achievements of
Clubs, States and individuals.
I wish to thank all of those persons who have volunteered in their
Clubs, I have found many new and younger volunteers becoming

involved in the support of clubs particularly those assisting with the
new data base. Clubs have contacted the ACTA to have us provide
access to a designated new position just to deal with membership
renewals, another person taking some of the load for the Club
secretary, sharing the workload and introducing another person to
the administration of the Club.
I am aware of some clubs who have introduced innovative ideas in
relation to their Club memberships and participation. We hope to
publicise these ideas in more detail in the near future.
Tony Turner
Rule Interpretation
Earlier this month I was asked a question in relation to the procedure
a competitor should follow in questioning the legality of targets being
thrown and their ability to demand that targets be checked before
shooting. My initial response would have been to say "just demand that
they be checked, it's your money".
However on reading the rules carefully I can find no reference to
where a shooter is able to demand that targets be checked for
height etc. The only references to target checking are in Rule 4.18 (f)
Duties of a Referee, where the referee must have the trap adjusted
immediately it is not throwing legal targets. Rule 4.19(c) Duties of a
Shoot Marshall, responsibility for checking correct height and angles of
targets and Rule 1.02(n) Procedure, which also gives management the
charge of seeing that targets are legal.
Consequently I advise that although a shooter may suggest to the
referee that the targets may need checking, they most certainly cannot
demand it. The decision to check target legality is with the referee,
shoot marshall or management. Hopefully etiquette and commonsense
will prevail.
The new Rule Book is now available on line and has quite a few
important changes that both shooters and management should be
aware of. Please download your copy. For ease of recognising new or
altered rules, all changes in the 2016 Rule Book are in red type.
Of note is the new distance requirement for trap targets, now set to
48 metres plus or minus 2 metres, (double rise targets remain at 40
metres plus or minus 2 metres), the substitution of scores in grading
cards is no longer restricted to a 10 target difference between scores
and the last target missed in a shoot-off is not to be recorded.
Another important change is that downgrading now has restrictions
depending on your grade. Specifically Rule 2.01(i). A new date for
highest grade attained has been set at January 1st 2016 to ensure that
current B and C grade shooters are not upgraded by over-zealous
officials to one grade down from their highest grade ever attained.
Jim Shepherd,
Rules Supervisor
If you have any questions in relation to the interpretation of a rule in our Rule
Book, please send your questions to the ACTA office and we will endeavour to
provide answers in the CTSN

RICH RIVER CLASSIC
Echuca Clay Target Club
December 27, 2015
Echuca Clay Target Club committee were very pleased to see
more than one hundred keen shooters arrive on the 27th of
December, to do battle for some of the very attractive prizes
on offer at the annual Rich River Classic. Due to a high number
of sponsors to whom the club is very grateful for their assistance, trophies were of a very high standard and very plentiful.
Weather conditions were in general reasonably good for clay
target shooting; the only complaint with the weather was a gusty
wind that was moving the targets around, making high scores
difficult, although that complaint was almost nullified when the
number of full scores that were recorded for the shoot off in the
Double Barrel was huge.
Event One, a 25 target Goulburn Murray Credit Union Points Score Championship, and after a reasonably short shoot off, John Pay, a Bendigo CTC
member, become the Overall winner and 1st in AA Grade with a score of
87/87. Jack Clerke after using a 2nd barrel shot had to settle for 2nd in AA
grade with an 86/87 result. A grade 1st was Andrew Estcourt a Cohuna
CTC member with an end score of 84/84, with Thomas Armstrong picking
up 2nd in A grade on a 87/86 result. B grade 1st was Andrew Calandro an
Echuca member with a 72/75 result, and Mark Tyson taking out 2nd in B
with a 70/75 score. C grade 1st was Julie Hogan a Cohuna member with a
70/75 score, and C 2nd was Phill Defrancesco (Werribee) on a 67/75 result.
Event Two, was a 25 target, Mid
State Credit Management Single
Barrel Championship, and an
indication that the weather really
was with the shooters when
the shoot off for an Overall winner brought the total shot up
to sixty five targets and that
shooters name was Kade Robertson. Kade a Werribee CTC
member was the Overall Winner and 1st in A Grade, with an
end score of 65/65, well shot,
Kade Robertson! 2nd in A grade
was Ray Whyte with a 27/28
score. AA Grade 1st was Carl
Comensoli with a 64/65 score,
Club Shooting member, Bill Preston, after being the only shooter that shot
the possible 25/25, proudly put his hand up for the Overall Winners Sash in
the Handicap and also for the $500.00 1st place pay out. Congratulations
Bill Preston! Werribee member, Phill Defrancesco, survived a 25 target
shoot off to claim 2nd placing in the Handicap, and with his 49/50, he
received $300.00 for his endeavours. Allan Pattinson shot a 47/48 and that
earned him 3rd placing in the Handicap, and that had a $150.00 reward.
Deniliquin member, Jack Collicoat, claimed 4th place in the Handicap with
a 42/43 result earning him a $100.00 reward. Nathan Harris was the 5th
and last winning shooter, and his 5th place on a 37/38 score earned him a
$50.00 prize.
Event Four, the last on a very big day. Luckily with all new traps, no trap
breakdowns and new phono-pulls without problems, the entire shoot ran
smoothly and time did not become an issue, especially with no Overall winner in the Double Barrel Championship, there were only grade shoot off’s
to pursue. Event four was a 25 target, “Beretta” Double Barrel Championship. Steve Trail (Echuca) was 1st in AA Grade, AA 2nd was Stuart Lowery.
A Grade 1st was Thomas Armstrong, with Ray Whyte becoming 2nd in
A grade, B Grade 1st was Andrew Calandro 25/25, B 2nd was
Bob Foster 24/25. C Grade 1st
was Phill Defrancesco 25/25,
C 2nd Tash Collins scoring a
49/50.
All that is left in prizes are the
High Gun Awards, and the

awarded to a new Echuca Shooter,
Darcy Keck. Well done Darcy!
Craig Fitzgerald OA HG
A fabulous day of very tough
clay target shooting competition,
weather good, and grounds looked
a picture, running smoothly all day.
A very big thank you to the girls, for
feeding and watering everybody all
day, a sad goodbye to Dot Roberts, and Heather Bradley, for their
years of tireless work. A thank you
to all the competitors for travelling
to Echuca for the shoot as without
you there is no shoot. Also a thank
you to the Echuca committee who
were severely understaffed yet
managed to run the shoot very
professionally.
Steven Psichalos A grade HG
Allan Pattinson 1st C HG
Lastly but certainly not least, a big thank you to all the sponsors who became
part of this excellent “Rich River Classic’. Goulburn Murray Credit Union,
Mid State Credit Management, Mark and Kate Rogers as, Oz Choppers,
Beretta Australia, also a mention to the Border Inn Moama, and the Echuca
Hotel. Good Shooting for 2016.

Kerry Miller High Gun at Kempsey
On a very hot Saturday a group of enthusiastic shotgun
shooters gathered at the Kempsey range for the annual
Christmas shoot. Perhaps it was the hot day but the only
shooter to perform on the day was Kerry Miller, who took
out High Gun with a 147/150. Well done Kerry, although as
I have pointed out before, credit must also go to his coach
Vicki. Speaking of Vicki, a big thank you to her for keeping
the score board up to date during the day.
Whilst on scores, we must thank our shoot secretary for the
outstanding job she has done throughout the year. No matter how
much pressure she is under the office runs smoothly and efficiently so
“Thank You”, Jenny.
As I mentioned the day was very hot,
and the best place to be when not
shooting was under the shade of the
trees. The downside to this was that
one of our shooters decided it was too
hot to shoot and held court under the
trees thereby driving many shooters
away, especially when he started to give
advice on how to shoot clay targets.
Kerry Miller HG
6
The shoot was conducted over
100 targets comprising of 25t DB,
25t SB, 25t PS and 25t Cont. A
shoot off between local Bill Neil and
Queenslander Megan Wilkins for 2nd
and 3rd place in B grade resulted in
some good shooting between the two
and provided the spectators with an
exciting finish to the day. Bill finally won
with a score of 165/186.
Now, for the winners. AA Kerry Miller 147/150, A Marg Burke
136/150, B Col Crighton 134/150, C Ted Baker 125/150. It was
good to see Ted back shooting again, and also in the winner’s circle.
Maybe the new gun helps, but whatever it is well done Ted! Full results
are published in the monthly competition results of the Clay Target
Shooting News. At the end of shooting and when the scores were
tallied President Ted donned his Santa suit for the presentation. Santa
was assisted by Elf Debbie. Santa and his elf ensured that everyone
received a prize or a gift this was appreciated by one and all. On a final
note I must thank Robin and her daughters for the afternoon teas that
they have provided throughout the year. They truly are exceptional.
Also President Ted never seems to slacken during the year, whether
hot, cold, wet or windy, Ted is always working to keep the traps full and
operating correctly and the club grounds are a credit to him. Thanks,
does not go near
enough to expressing
our appreciation.
Just to finish off I
notice that one of our
members has clocked
up (pun intended
Ken) more than 30
years membership
with the ACTA.
Certainly something
to be proud of, Ken
Saunders. On that
note all the best for
the New Year and
let’s hope we all
shoot some perfect
scores in the coming
months.

Extremely Successful Miroku 200 Classic
Boorowa Club
November 28 & 29, 2015
Boorowa Gun Club hosted the Miroku 75
Target Challenge, incorporated with the
traditional W D Warren Memorial Handicap and the Claystone Hereford Stud
Double Barrel Championship. Boorowa
being a small country club was stretched
at the seams however managed to come
through with flying colours hosting a club
record number of 118 competitors for
the first 2 day shoot in almost 30 years.
With competitors coming in from NSW,
ACT, Vic & Qld all vying for a share in
some $15,000 worth of trophies and cash
in this inaugural and extremely successful
event held over 28 and 29 of November
2015.
The reportable success was due to the hard
work and efforts put in by the local organisers
and generous support of our major sponsors, Miroku Australia, OSA Outdoor Sporting Agencies, J & A Geotech Testing, Sporting
Shooting, B&P Bashieri & Pellagri, Claystone
Herefords, South West Shooting Supplies,
Young Guns & Ammunition, the Warren family,
Boorowa Council, Boorowa Tyre Service,
Anthony Gray, the Merriman family and all other
contributors please accept our sincere thank you.
any issues. This ensured confidence with the
competitors coupled with the never ending
hard work of the trappers Paddy Fahey and
Ned Evans in keeping the traps topped up and
the lanes clean and tidy. The unselfish efforts
of our club junior competitors Amy Smith and
Corey Lees who worked relentlessly handing
out squad sheets prepared by Secretary Garry
and Justin helped maintain the momentum. This
ensured no holdups in getting through all of the
events with little time to spare.
The ladies in the club’s kitchen prepared breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner along with
refreshments on both days which left no one
wanting for anything but to enjoy their visit and
relaxing time between events. A special thank
you goes to, Kerrie, Sandra, Michelle, Rebecca,
Marie, Jeffry & our injured President Guy. There
has also been very positive feedback on food
quality and presentation which does not go
unnoticed by the competitors, and as well there
was massive effort of input and support by a
lot of people who contributed in some way to
make this event an overwhelming success: thank
you all!

Boorowa Gun Club would like to congratulate all
the winners and thank all shooters who participated. Well done, best wishes and please come
again! Thank you for helping make this shoot a very
successful and memorable one.
Charlie Smith has the winning way
Just prior to Christmas, Bega shooter, Charlie Smith did himself and the Club proud,
winning the overall trophy for the Majura Park two day shoot and bringing home a new
shotgun as his prize. At the first shoot of the year at home, he continued this winning
form, taking out the overall prize in the 100 Target Tarraganda Championship. Sponsored
by the Club, this shoot consists of 25T double barrel, 25T single, 25T points score and
25T handicap. Charlie finished the main round with 145/150, tied with another regular
and very consistent shooter, Chris Davis. Following a shoot off across the four disciplines,
Charlie emerged victorious, not missing a single extra target to score 170/175. Chris’
score of 164/175 saw him take out AA Grade with Justin Smith runner up, 144/150.
Considering the rainy weather, results for the day across all grades were very good. 37 shooters attended,
which considering the conditions, was a good field.

In the veterans section, Bob Duncan took the sash and ammo with a 143/150 from another regular
high achiever, Ray Welch who scored 132/150. Tony Gray collected 139/150 to take out A Grade with
Matthew Harris, on 165/180 in second, after a shoot off. Veteran, Bert Deacon held off all challengers in
B Grade to win with a score of 138/150. Tim Collins continued to justify his promotion to B Grade with
second, 131/150. In C Grade, Brian Moffitt added to his recent consistent form to win with a score of
139/150. Am sure the handicapper is keeping a close eye on his efforts. Good shooting. Simon Buckley

Jet lagged again!
By the time this article goes to print, I will
on my way home from Brazil where I had
been attending my granddaughter Chloe’s
christening. Rather than travel from Sydney
across the pacific to South America, we have
decided to travel via Dubai to catch up with
some relatives for a couple of days. This means a longer flight to Brazil, but
an even longer time in the plane on our return as we will not be stopping
over. On my last trip to Europe, I was hit really hard by jet lag or circadian
rhythm disorder. I know it will happen again so I have been researching how
to overcome it. The short answer is I will not be able to overcome it, so
how can I limit the effects.
A search of the net showed the following tips for acclimatising yourself
and limiting the effects of jet lag. These tips can be found on
http://consumertraveler.com/columns/getting-there/10-tips-for-limiting-theeffects-of-jet-lag/
• Pre-adjust eating to the time zone you are traveling to. Several days
before you travel, try to adjust your eating and sleeping schedule to the
time zone to which you’re traveling as much as possible.
your hotel room’s sleep environment as good as possible, just like you
did while flying to your destination.
• Melatonin? A controversial aid to get over jet lag is to take melatonin. As
a psychologist, I am reluctant to suggest drugs of any sort so you would
need to discuss this with your GP after extensive research.
The following is part of an article I wrote in 2013 about Circadian Rhythm
Disorder.
Jet Lag or Time Zone Circadian Rhythm Disorder, is due to disturbances to
the circadian rhythm, our internal 24 hour clock, due to travelling through
different time zones. Circadian rhythm disorder can also cause havoc for
shift workers.
When we change time zones (an increment of 15 degrees of longitude
from Greenwich, UK) our bodies need to take time to adjust to the new
time zones. Until we are back to normal, our performance will suffer. Corporations and the military understand that performance can be affected by
not having proper rest after a long haul flight. The proper rest time varies
from individual to individual but age, flight duration, time-zone translocation,
climate variations, noise, immobilization, low humidity, etc, all factors that
will influence the severity and duration of jet lag. When I asked friends and
colleagues how they dealt with jet lag they said “the only way to deal with
it is when you arrive back in Sydney, book a motel room and sleep for
16- 20 hours. So armed with the discomfort of “being out of it,” and my
personal need to have some sort of scientific understanding of the problem
and the solution, I decided to do some research into the problem. I found
an old book, The Sleep Book by James Paupst who described the Buley rest
formula for air travellers. Back in the sixties, Dr L Buley developed a rest
formula to determine how long a person had to rest following a flight.
The rest formula is relatively simple: It states that the sum of one-half flight
duration (T ) in hours, plus the number of time zones (z) crossed in excess
of 4, plus two special coefficients representing departure times, equals the
required period of rest expressed in tenths of a day.
• Pre-adjust sleep. There are myths about staying up all night the day
before you travel but most people feel better if fully rested before they
leave on their trip.
T/2 + (z-4) + Cd + Ca = rest period.
• Arrive in daylight. Try to plan your flights to arrive in daylight to help fit
into the new time zone. It easier to stay awake after landing during the
day, than getting to sleep quickly, if you are landing in the evening. Make
sure to set an alarm to wake you on time, which helps you get over jet
lag. Each traveler needs to determine which of these strategies works
best for them.
The departure and arrival coefficients introduce gains and losses of time: the
table follows:
If z is < 4 it is eliminated.
Period of day (hrs)
Departure time co-efficient
Arrival time coefficient

1200-1759

• No booze, no coffee. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and other stimulants at
least three to four hours before an evening flight to help you get to sleep
while aloft.

• Change your watch. After you’re settled into your seat on the plane,
change your watch to your destination’s time. While that may seem only
psychological, it can help you get into the mind-set of your destination’s
time.

• Sleep during your flight. Once aloft, especially if it’s a night flight, try
to sleep. Block out light and cabin noise, avoid caffeine and alcohol,
use an inflatable pillow and layer clothing to protect against variations in
temperature.
• Reschedule your body. Once you arrive at your destination, you should
immediately put your schedule in the new time zone and forget what
time it is where your flight began. The more quickly you begin sleeping,
waking, eating and scheduling activities according to your destination’s
time, the more quickly your jet lag will disappear. Don’t fall into the trap
of giving in to being tired from the jet lag and sleeping in. That will only
prolong it.
• Crave sunlight. Try to get outside in the sunlight as soon as and whenever possible, especially in the first few days in your new time zone.
Daylight is a powerful stimulant for regulating your biological clock.
Moreover, staying indoors can deepen jet lag.
• Environment. When it’s time to sleep at your destination, try to make
10
For example, for a flight from London to Sydney, you travel across 10 time
zones. If you depart at 20.00h on Monday you will arrive in Sydney on
Wednesday at 05.00h with a four hour stop-over in Singapore. Therefore
the equation would look like this:
25/2 + (10-4) + 3 + 3 = rest period, therefore for this example it
would be:
12 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 24, divide 24 by 10 and this means that the
required rest time is 2.4 days.
When using this formula, the following rules must be applied:
1. The answer in tenths of days should be rounded to the nearest ½ day.
However rest stops amounting to less than a day will not be given unless
it is an overnight flight.
2. Travel hours are the number of hours of elapsed time required for the
journey.
3. Time zones are computed as increments of 15 degrees of longitude from
Greenwich, UK.
4. Departure and arrival times are local.
So according to Buley, you would need to rest for approximately 52 hours

following a flight from London to Sydney. This is significantly different to my
friends and colleagues unscientific approach of sleeping for 16 hours upon
arrival. Paupst states this formula has been used since 1967 and has benefited
many travellers – provided, of course, that they are willing to give in to the
fact that their biological clocks exert a force that is stronger than they are,
either physically or psychologically. This was the most significant sentence of
the whole chapter in the book.
I now know that I cannot beat the biological clock. Armed with all this information maybe this time the impact won’t be as great. I hope so.

Two Day Trap Carnival
attracts interstate shooters
Coffs Harbour Clay Target Club
January 2 & 3, 2016
All roads led to where the mountains meet the sea for the Coffs
Harbour Two Day DTL Carnival. Guns came from near and
far to compete against the local shooters. Craig Polson from
Rockhampton, Robert Diaz from the Gold Coast, and his father
from Newcastle. They planned their family reunion to coincide
with the shoot. Brad Cowley from Emerald and Frank Robertson from Central Burnett (where the heck is Central Burnett?).
We also had shooters from Guyra, Tamworth, Port Macquarie,
Grafton, Lismore, Walcha, Condamine and Seymour in Victoria,
and probably half a dozen other places I have not mentioned. It
was certainly a good roll up.
The Coffs shooters were led by Trap Captain, Barry Dray. The weather
was overcast for most of the weekend with the occasional slight drizzle of
rain, nothing to worry the hardy shooters! The temperature was comfortable all weekend. The grounds were a credit to the members who, led by,
Barry worked hard during the week before the shoot to have everything
spic-n-span. The club house deserves a mention. It has kitchen, carpeted
dining area and Bar. The club house, showers and toilet are a credit to the
original generation of shooters who carried out the original construction.
Happy shooters enjoying the carnival
16
In recent years the club has also been able to undertake a large all weather
car park, camping area, club extensions with a large under cover area with
views of the ranges, and a kitchen refit. There is ample room for campers
and caravans close to the amenities and the car park is an all-weather parking
area. “Trapoligist” Steve along with Lindsay, Ross and Barry, kept the traps
full and functioning all weekend. We owe them a special “thank you” for all
the hard work put into the event. I would also like to thank the Grafton Club
for the loan of two traps for use over the weekend. D.J. kept a fatherly eye
on them and ensured they functioned perfectly he also helped keep them
full of clays. Another thanks goes to Steve Whitehead who undertook last
minute trap repairs and adjustments when it was found the clays purchased
for the event were marginally different in size to the regular clays. The cooks
in the club kitchen were kept busy all weekend. Hot meals were provided
as well as sandwiches, cakes and slices. Breakfast on Sunday was bacon and
eggs. All the food was cooked and presented to perfection by the team of
Robyn, John, Debbie and Fay. It is a big job to run a canteen for two days,
with pre-planning, cooking some of the food at home before the shoot and
we appreciate the hard work done by the team. There were only positive
comments about the food and the friendly service. “Thank-you” team.
The club was fortunate to have secured a good swag of sponsors, I suspect largely due to the untiring efforts of Barry and John. Major sponsor
Jetty Boating supplied a Quintrex aluminium boat and trailer (so when in
Coffs see Paul Davidson for all your boating needs). Thanks also go to Geoff
King Motors (Holden, Mitsubishi, VW), Miramar
Motel at Nambucca Heads, All Diesel Equipment
(Kubota), Keith Conner Earthmoving, Newcombe
Coach Lines, K & J Trucks (Fuso and Scania trucks),
Kachell’s Refrigerated Transport, Brown & Hurley
(The Big Truck People), Tyre Right Coffs Harbour,
and Car Finders (top end second hand cars).
And now to the reason we were all there. The first
event was a 25 target Points Score cash divide, AA 1st
Robert Clark and Nick Tanner, 2nd Kelly Simpson,
Kerry Miller, Brad Henshall, Tony A and Craig Hayes.
A 1st Margaret Burke, 2nd Rob Trindall and Cherie
Hunter. B 1st Chris Durkin and Jeff Lowndes, 2nd
Lindsay Robson, Callan Moffett, Alison Skinner and
Harold Batson. C 1st Chris Kachel, 2nd Karen Buys.

The second event was a 30 target Single Barrel. Overall for the event
was decided by shoot off between Peter Jackson 36/36 and Scott Wallis
35/36. Peter Jackson recently purchased his shotgun from Kerry Miller. Since
acquiring the new gun Peter has shot himself into AA Grade and subsequently
won the first shoot-off for the weekend. Kerry claims he taught the gun all
its good habits when he owned it and is claiming a percentage of Peter’s
winnings. Good luck with that one Kerry! Other winners were AA 1st Scott
Wallis 35/36, 2nd Geoff Richardson 30/31. A 1st Nick Campbell 29/30, 2nd
Thomas Hart 36/38. B 1st Lindsay Robson 28/30, 2nd Jeff Lowndes 27/30.
C 1st Archie Fletcher 27/31, 2nd Russell Sainsbury 26/31.
Event Three was 50 target Double Barrel. There was another shoot off for
overall between Kevin Bourke, Brad Henshall, Scott Wallis and Mick Watt.
Kevin Bourke came out on top with some very good shooting 130/130. AA

Archie Fletcher 46/50, 2nd Robert Diaz 44/50. That ended the formal part
of the day’s programme, however, for those that were keen several novelty
events were held and enjoyed.
Saturday after the guns had been locked away some of the participants of
the day’s events enjoyed a cold one or two with a few fresh prawns and
discussed how those elusive few targets managed to get away. Next morning
saw most shooters wide awake and bushy tailed ready for the day’s events.
There were one or two who must have slept badly judging by their skin
colour and general appearance.

Coach watching her protege
Chainsaw winner Julie-anne Sainsbury
A very special thank you must go to Tammy, Cherie, Josh, Phil and Megan
who ran the office in a very efficient and diligent manner. Thanks should also
go to the ladies who kept the scoreboard up to date. The women from
Tamworth did a great job assisting the club in the office.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the draw for the Quintrex boat and
trailer with motor (Jetty Boating) was held. The winner was a very happy
Paul Farrell. There was also a chainsaw (All Diesel Equipment) being raffled
and that was won by Julie-Anne Sainsbury. It was then time to pack up and
head home after a very well run shoot. Barry and his team deserve full credit
for the organisation and the efficient way the shoot was conducted. Make
a note in your shooting diaries, as it will all happen again next year and we
would like to see you here.

160th Anniversary of
Trapshooting in Bendigo
The following Advertisement
placed in the Bendigo Advertiser in 1855 well and truly
confirms that Trapshooting
was already underway in the
City of Sandhurst (Bendigo)
in 1855. The difficulty in
establishing just when Trapshooting commenced in
Bendigo is governed by a
number of factors including
the lack of records from that
time and the prolification of
newspapers at the time. We
do know from the following
advertisment trapshooting
was underway in the area at
this time.
The Bendigo Advertiser, under
the section “Amusements”, had
the following advertisement
which was placed Thursday the
20th of December 1855. The
initial advertisement reads:
PIGEON SHOOTING.
Grand Shooting Match at Pigeons.
On
New Year’s Day.
Charles George Dose, of
The Prince of Wales Hotel
Lockwood.
Begs to inform the Sporting
Gentlemen of Sandhurst, and the
country around Lockwood that he
intends having a Grand Shooting
Match at Pigeons when a great
number of prizes will be offered
for competition, of which the
following are a few,Splendid gold guard chain.
First-class silver hunting watch.
Handsome silver snuff-box.
Superior Victoria gold nugget ring.
Also, several sweepstakes varying
from 5s to £5.
N.B.-C.G.Dose has made
arrangements for the supply of
between two and three hundred
pigeons, for which only 6s per
couple will be charged.
Shooting to commence at
11 o’clock a.m.”.
Initially named Bendigo, the city
changed its name to Sandhurst
in 1854 and back to Bendigo
in 1891. We do know that a
trapshooting match took place
ironically on the 26th January
1856 in Sandhurst.
ONE DAY’S SPORT.
‘A Shooting Match.
To come off at Edward Brinlaw’s,
Silver Mines Hotel, Long Gully,
on Friday 11th instant,
at 12 o’clock.
Entrance fee, £2.
To be paid at ten o’clock same day.
Prize money £5’.
The following advertisements
were placed for shoots on the
11th and 25th April 1856 at
Long Gully – almost what is now close to the centre of Bendigo.
The 22nd April 1856 saw the re-emergence of a second more
detailed advertisement for the silver Mines Hotel . . .
From these beginnings the Bendigo Clay Target Club has been
through a number of name changes and has had a number of
locations for its grounds.
The Bendigo Clay Target Club is proud of its history and we will
continue to seek assistance from shooters and the general public to
gather as much information as we can in relation to our past.
Considerable research was conducted into the Club’s history by former
Secretary, Darren Pearce. For this the Bendigo Clay Target Club is
indebted. Much of the information contained in the beginning of this
report is a result of Darren’s research.

158 Shooters for Australia Day 2016
Bendigo Clay Target Club
Australia Day 2016 commenced with a free BBQ breakfast
for everyone who wished to partake. The bacon, sausages
and eggs were cooked to perfection under the guidance of
head chef, Peter Beaman. Weather conditions were great and
the number of shooters coming through the gate early madee
d
the organisers smile. By the end of the day some 158 had
participated in the 3 events on offer. All
competitors commented favourably on
the excellent trophies for each event
and the condition of the grounds.
The first event of the day was the 25 target
Points Score Championship sponsored by
Bruce Burns and GB Corsivia. With 500 GB
shot shells for first in each grade, and 250
for second, competition was fierce. It was
Castlemaine member, and frequent visitor to
Bendigo, Rob Hosking who collected the
Overall Sash and trophy with a score of
177/177 from Steve Atkins. A grade went to
Andrew Evans on 74/75, B grade to Charles
Caldwell on 71/75 and the top C grader was
Val Dehne with a score of 67/75.

It was then to the 25 target Handicap
generously sponsored by Go Pest
and the $500 first prize was the goal
of all shooters. Some outstanding
shooting was witnessed by all when
2 of our best battled for the first
placing from the 25 metre mark. It
was Russell Mark who finally emerged victorious
over Mitchell Iles with a score of 48/48. Great
shooting.
It was evident from the talk around the club the
Miroku O/U on offer in the 30 target Double
Barrel Championship was the reason the shooters had attended. On offer for the winners in the
remaining grades was a Webley & Scott O/U.
Trophies such as these are normally only on offer
at State or National events. Our thanks must
go to the sponsors of this Championship, GFD
Firearms and OSA.
At the end of the day and fading light, Travis Gull
was the proud owner of the Miroku with a score
of 120/120. Runner up was Echuca member
20
nominations with a smile and ensured that all
shooters were squadded.
Presentations were conducted in front of
all winners, shooters and supporters. The
Bendigo policy of not releasing trophies prior
to presentations is certainly working not only
for shooters, but for our very generous sponsors it is essential.
2017 – planning has already begun!

FEBRUARY 2016 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS
21
Cuzzo’s
Ramblings
MARCH
2016
In July last year I decided to publish the Hall of
Fame points chart for Trapshooting for 2014.
I thought it may be of interest to a minority of
people, plus it was a handy “filler” on a month
when my column was shorter than usual. However I was totally unprepared for the degree of
enthusiasm it generated. As soon as it arrived in
letterboxes I started getting e-mails and phone
calls about it. Most were from trapshooters and
for a change all the feedback regarding one of my
columns was actually positive. Obviously I’m not
being controversial enough these days! Anyway
the general consensus was that this unprecedented format for shooting results on a condensed annual basis was of considerable interest
to a great many people. Most people asked if I
could continue to do this each year on an ongoing
basis. Therefore as part of my job as Historian is
to collate these annual charts, I shall publish them
each year after the Hall of Fame Dinner that utilises the results has been held.
soon, I’m hopeful of detailing 1947’s results just
before dementure sets in and I can’t remember
breakfast. To get the ball rolling I am including the
2013 Trap results this month. Enjoy!
AA Elite Clarification
Although it’s been up and running for several
years, I still get enquiries as to what it is and how
it works. It actually started out as a result of a
“car park” meeting at the Skeet Nationals where
several prominent shooters were looking to
address the situation of a minority of competitors with demonstrated levels of ability electing to
shoot in grades below that level. This not only vandalised the grading and handicap system here, but
also caused International embarrassment when
it extended overseas. As graded shooting works
on the “honour system” any attempt to legislate
the problem away simply won’t work, so it was
decided to try to lead by example and a couple of
seasoned shooters asked the ACTA if their Handicap Books could be marked “AA For Life”. At their
next meeting the full Executive not only endorsed
the concept but expanded upon it, applied it to
both Trap and Skeet and called it AA Elite.
Gaining Admittance
Another Discipline
However, not all the response emanated from
the Trap fraternity. A number of Skeet shooters
expressed interest in viewing their annual results
in the same format. Consequently I published the
previous year’s Skeet chart a few months later
and it received an equally positive reception. Plus
quite a few people from both disciplines enquired
as to the possibility of seeing similar charts from
previous years. As my long term intention is to
expand upon the great work initiated by Mark
McInnes and produce detailed Annual Results
charts for both disciplines as far back in time as
possible, there’s no reason not to publish them.
With a bit of luck I hope to be able to prepare the
two current ones as well as half a dozen historic
ones each year for as long as it takes. So if I don’t
either get the sack or fall off the perch any time
So in effect it has become a “premium” grade
for competition shooting. However, unlike the
other grades it is neither mandatory nor percentage based. It is simply a voluntary permanent
upgrade. Once you meet the required criteria
and reach a point where you believe that any
further participation in lower grade shooting is not
in either yours or the sports best interest, you
simply submit an application to Head Office. The
criteria for both Trap and Skeet is similar. First you
need to be in AA grade already. Skeet shooters
must also accumulate 50 or more Hall of Fame
points. Trap shooters are eligible if they either
accumulate 50 points or progress their handicap
mark back to 25 metres.
In for the Long Run
Following this your name will be added to the
Elite Shooters Register which is maintained at
the National Office and displayed on the ACTA
website. Then at the first prestigious opportunity of your choice, you will be presented with a
very tasteful polished silver AA Elite lapel badge.
And the downside? The decision to submit an
application for inclusion into the realm of AA Elite
status involves a moral commitment to raising
the integrity of our grading system. Therefore
AA Elite is accessed through a one-way entrance.
Once you choose to enter, there is really no way
back out again. You consciously elect to set a
good example and shoot in the highest grade and
from the least advantageous handicap position for
the balance of your career.
Opting Out
The only exception to this is a carefully worded
escape clause that we expect will gather dust. It
states “. . . until an application to be removed
(from AA Elite) has been approved by the ACTA”.
Firstly I’m sure the Hall of Fame Committee
would only approve such an application under
extremely unusual and extenuating circumstances
and secondly why would anyone apply anyway? Surely not age impairment! That’s one of
the main objectives of the exercise. To protect
elderly Elite shooters from the embarrassment
of a potential downgrade! Could you imagine
someone like Ken Lowry accepting a prize in B
grade no matter how old and doddery he may
get? And personally? I went partially blind in my
master eye some years ago and shot 27/100 at
my first attempt with an “offset” sight. Following
this someone suggested that eventually I might be
competitive in C grade. I can’t print most of the
words here that my reply contained but I assured
them that I’d shoot in my birthday suit before that
came to pass! Many of you won’t remember it,
but I was a pretty handy shooter once. Please let
me grow old with dignity!
Advantages
Admission into AA Elite has other advantages.
For a start you will be issued with a new sticker
for the front of your handicap book which will
indicate your elite status. From that point on you
will no longer be required to have your scores
entered into your handicap book. This will then
become optional and as most people are not
expected to continue with it, this will certainly
decrease the workload of the club, State and
National handicappers. Your handicap book will
in effect simply become a handy place to keep
your annual membership sticker.

Nominating in AA Elite
However you will still need to show your
membership sticker when nominating to prove
that you are a financial member for the current
year. But it can then be immediately returned
to the safety of your shooting bag. However be
mindful that some States are beginning to require
proof of need for your Firearms Licence. So even
if you don’t want your scores entered, it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask for your book to be
dated and club stamped while they’re scanning
your barcode or checking your currency before
returning it to you. A couple of other handy byproducts of this system will be a reduction in
the unnecessary stress, time and telephone and
postage costs involved in reuniting absent minded
shooters with their forgotten handicap books,
along with eliminating the inconvenient necessity
to issue duplicate handicap books to these people.
as if to prove that lightning can strike twice in the
same place, he did exactly the same thing the
very next year in 1960, effectively doubling his
runner-up tally. 1961 provided a State Double
Barrel, but 1962 provided more disappointment
at the Nationals with a runner-up in the Double
Rise. More NSW State titles followed in 1963
and 64 with a Double Rise and another Double
Barrel. In 1965 he travelled further afield winning
the State Double Rise in Queensland, but found
the New Zealand Nationals no kinder than his
home variety when he finished second in their
National Single Barrel. Undeterred he soldiered
on at the Australian Nationals, but lady luck
continued to look the other way. In 1966 he
added an unprecedented third runner-up in the
Champion of Champions event and finally closed
his “nearly there” file in 1967 when he managed
a second runner-up in the National Double Rise.
Maybe Forever
January’s Trivia Question
The largest collection of
National Trap runnersup, without ever winning one belongs to Don
Scowcroft from Newcastle in NSW who eventually amassed a grand
total of eight. Although
clearly the unluckiest
shooter in ACTA history,
he was also a master of
consistency, accumulating
Hall of Fame points every
year for nine consecutive
November 1965 – Don
years between 1959
Scowcroft has just shot
and 1967. He opened
261 to be runner-up to
his account in 1957 with
Ron Hodges in the
Monaro DB Champion10 points via success in
ship at Berridale Gun
the NSW Single Barrel
Club, but can still smile

the next 13 years, fittingly
closing his account in
1970 by winning the very same event. His total of
150 Hall of Fame points currently places him just
outside the top ten NSW Trap shooters of all time
as he is tied with John Maxwell and Tommy Turner
for eleventh place.
Against the Odds
His heartbreak at the Nationals began in 1959
when he was runner-up in both the Champion
of Champions and the Macintosh High Gun. And
Although the Nationals provided a lot of disappointment for Don they also provided a tremendous amount of achievement. In 1967 at
Southport in Queensland he was the first person
ever to shoot 50 straight from the back mark of
27 yards and his participation in the Australian Macintosh Team was extraordinary. His first
appearance was in 1955 and then in 1958 he
began a run of nine appearances in ten years,
missing only 1963 between then and 1967.
Returning to National runner-ups, it’s unlikely that
this unenviable record of “8 and 0” will ever be
eclipsed, as in the entire history of the ACTA the
next closest person is Steve Guest from Leeton
with “4 and 0” on his resume. And I’m pretty
sure that Steve will put a Silver Australia Badge
on his jacket before he betters that mark, as he
has also been a very consistent shooter over a
long period. He has accumulated Hall of Fame
points every decade since the 1980s and has
seven appearances in the Macintosh Team. He’s
due for a change of luck! The first correct answer
drawn was submitted by Andy Sanders from
Wagga.
This Month’s Trivia Question
While we’re on the subject of disappointment
at the Trap Nationals, who has the greatest
number of runners-up in the Overall High Gun
without ever winning one? E-mail your answers to
[email protected] before the 15th of March and
the first correct one drawn will get a complimentary entry to one National Championship event of
your choice during the next twelve months.

Good numbers for January shoot
Maryborough Gun Club
January 23, 2016
Over the past few years the January shoot at Maryborough has
been down on shooter numbers. It was therefore a surprise to
management when the morning Skeet event attracted four full
squads, more if we had have left the nominations open longer for
stragglers, and the afternoon Trap events nearly 40 competitors.
Conditions on the day were fine, with little wind to speak of
and mild temperatures. The new facilities, featuring fully air-conditioned club rooms and kitchen and new immaculate ablutions
block may be encouraging competitors and their families to the
club. Maryborough hopes that by June, when we will conduct
the 38th Central Victorian Grand Prix, new traps will also be
installed on all trap layouts.
The 25 target Skeet Championship overall winner was Murray Schaper from
the Sebastopol Gun Club, after a shoot off with local shooters Peter Tate and
Bryan Rafferty. Peter finished 2nd in the combined AA/A grade while Bryan
took out 1st in B grade. Second in B grade went to Alex Loubey. In C grade
Skeet winners: Warde Wende C grade, Murray Schaper Overall and A
& Bryan Rafferty B grade
the 1st place went to Warde Wende from Bendigo
and Les Comensoli (Kerang) placed 2nd.
The 10 target Points Score Eye Opener was shared
by Rieley Fitzgibbon, Stewart Forbes, Andrew
Estcourt, Len Cook and Wayne Calaby.
Event 3, the 30 target Double Barrel Championship
saw Travis Gull from Sebastopol take overall after
a shoot-off. His winning score of 67/67 relegated
Stewart Forbes (Maryborough) to 2nd in AA, 66/67.
A grade went to Club President Bruce Jennings on
59/60 with Andrew Estcourt from Cohuna second.
Craig Jennings won B grade on 43/44 from Peter
Sandral, our Wangaratta visitor. Maddison Decker,
one of our new junior members, won C grade with
a score of 31/34 and Daniel Jennings, another new
member, placed 2nd.
Double Barrel Championship winners: Maddison Decker C grade, Travis Gull Overall & AA grade,
Craig Jennings B grade & Bruce Jennings A grade
Continental Winners: The smiling assassin Col Dunn Overall & AA grade, Rieley Fitzgibbon B grade,
Jack Sandral C grade & Bruce Jennings A grade
The final event of the day, a 30 target Continental was
won by Callawadda Stawell Secretary Colin Dunn,
who shot the only possible. Travis Gull came 2nd in
AA with a score of 57/58. Bruce Jennings, having a
great day, won A grade on 37/39 from Bryan Rafferty.
B grade went to Rieley Fitzgibbon, another Maryborough junior (32/34) and Peter Sandral placed 2nd.
Jack Sandral came1st in C grade with a score of 29/31
and 2nd place went to local shooter Graham Collins.
For such kind weather conditions, the scores were
not quite as as good as we would have expected, but
the targets were set to the new 48 metre distance.
Perhaps that made the difference!
It was great to see so many of our visitors as well as
our local shooters hop in and help in the running of
the shoot. Too often it is left to the same (old) few at
clubs to carry the bulk of the workload. We would
like to thank everyone who helped. The ladies in the
kitchen, Peg and Kelly, deserve particular mention for
their long day as well as Belinda in the office. Thanks
also to those shooters who stayed behind to pack up.

English Sporting and All Round Championship
Richmond River Gun Club
December 11, 2015
In more ways than one, Richmond River Gun Club was well lit
for the Christmas night trap event on Friday 11th December.
A mammoth effort by some stalwart members led by Mike Sullivan and Jeremy Clarke saw new floodlights installed for the shoot which was to include
some novelty events including Deauville Doubles. Funding for the new lighting
was obtained through a Community Building Partnerships Grant thanks to the
support of the Honourable Thomas George, Member for Lismore.
Five squads of shooters were enjoying fish and chips courtesy of Jamie and
Warren Beddoes while waiting for the lights to become fully effective when
to the chagrin of all, the heavens opened and a fierce electrical storm put pay
to the night.
Hams donated by Chris Doust were presented to Nathan Gordon AA whose
score when stumps were called included a great 30/30 in the first stage, 15
pair of double rise followed by 20/20 in Deauville Doubles in partnership with
Lyster Hart, Damien Webb A Grade; Bruce Copper B Grade and Andrew
Gordon C grade.
Better luck on the 8th next month although it is storm season.
ENGLISH SPORTING
On the 5th Sunday in November (29th) an “English Sporting” event was held
with two fifty target events shot over “Jezza’s field”
Field setter, Jeremy Clarke, made the most of our fixed dtl and skeet traps
as well as the portables at our disposal
by strategic placement of the cages to
produce some shootable but challenging
targets.
Menu boards with names like “Fast Eddy”,
“Joe the Goose”, “Crow chasing rabbit”
had shooters wondering what to expect.
Jeremy Clarke preparing for “Joe
the goose”
Fast Eddy – a low ball trap target was
handled by most. Joe the Goose – a floppy
incomer was very trying but the talk of the
shooters was the crow chasing the rabbit.
A midi target about four feet off the ground
and overtaking the rabbit challenged even
the best of them although it was surprising
how many managed to work it out.

GEOFF BRUCE WINS
ALL ROUND
CHAMPIONSHIP
On Sunday 27th December, 2015,
six squads took part in an “All Round
Championship” at Richmond River
Gun Club’s Lismore range billed as a
Holiday Fun Shoot and that is exactly
what it proved to be. The event
included 25 skeet targets, 25 target
Sportstrap, 25 trap (DB), and 15 Pair
Double Rise.
Geoff Bruce All Round Champion
The locals who were able to get leave passes from family duties were joined
by John Reid and Robert Reeves who travelled from Guyra, Craig Poulsen
from Rockhampton who just happened to be holidaying in the area with our
usual friends from Grafton, Yamba, Tyagarah and Woodenbong-Urbenville.
Geoff Bruce, who considers Richmond River Gun Club as his “men’s shed”
showed his versatility with scores of 23/25 (skeet); 25/25 (Sportstrap; 25/25
DB; and 23/30 DR for a total of 96/105 to claim the title of 2015 All Round
Champion.
Graeme Turner shot consistently all day for a total of 95/105 winning
AA. Mick Watt won A with 89/90, Paul Chittick B 88/105 and Ben Gordon
C 80/105.
Everyone thought the concept of a bit of everything was great fun. They
particularly enjoyed the
“sportstrap” field set by
Ted Schneider declaring
the targets shootable
while still challenging.
SHOOTING
SHOWCASED
TO LOCAL
CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
On 18th December
fifty two members of
the Lismore Chamber
of Commerce attended
Richmond River Gun
Club for a different Don Johnson & Lyster Hart supervising a young lady
kind of Christmas get from the Lismore Chamber of Commerce
together.
After all the P650’s and photo ID’s were carefully checked Club Coaches
Don Johnson and Geoff Jacobsen, capably assisted by eight other senior
members, closely supervised and instructed the triers including fifteen
women.
Initially straight away targets were thrown from lane 3 only but everyone
shot at their last 10 out of 25 targets single barrel walking the lanes, with
some showing particular aptitude for our sport.
Most of those who were started with 28 gauge and quickly graduated to
12 gauge. One young lady who managed to break 2 out of 5 from 11 metres
with 28 gauge asked to use the “big gun” and went on to shoot another
12/20 from 15 metres with Jaco’s DT11.
All in all it proved to be a very successful exercise with many expressing
a desire to return for another try and two new members already signed.

Le t ters
to the
Editor
"
To whom this may concern.
Recently I attended the Christmas weekend
shoot at Echuca with a few friends. One good
friend was lucky enough to win an event as
well as the Overall for C grade. After the
presentations he took his prizes (valued at
over $400) back to the car he was getting a lift
back to town in, but inadvertently the prizes
were left at the back of the car on the ground
when they drove off. Upon realising what had
happened back at our Motel he drove straight
back out to the ground but his prizes were
gone with a nearby camper telling him they’d
seen nothing and club members telling him
nothing had been handed in to the office.
This is just an opportunity to remind
everyone that not all among us are honest
and trustworthy and unfortunately things may
need to be locked up at all times.
To the opportunist, maybe it was because
you never got any Christmas presents of your
own but we all hope karma comes and bites
you.

Dear Sir,
I note that the President of our association
has in the January 2016 edition of the journal,
noted that there have been no letters to the
editor.
I would like to contribute the following for
possible inclusion.
We are moving forward with a new
constitution and formally setting the
association on the path to the future. This
I applaud. We should recognise that times
are changing and we should become more
accountable and also protect the interests of
our members. With that in mind I would like
to ask the following:Do members expect that, as a forward
thinking association, we should expect that
clubs would and should abide by the rules
governing our sport? That being the case in
the affirmative, then why is it that I continually
visit clubs that not only set illegal targets, but
50
do not provide equipment that is maintained
or capable of throwing such targets? How
many times have I heard shooters say “up a
bit” when the rules clearly say what the target
setting should be?
Dear Robert
If I were, for instance, a grade player in rugby
league, would it not be the case that where
ever I play, the rules of the league would
follow? Should I expect, as that player, to
visit grounds that favour left hand placed
(not legal) goal posts, because the goal setter
favours them himself? Or, in our case, visit
clubs that throw high targets (as is the case
the most Australian clubs)? I think not. So why
should we, as shooters, expect that to be the
case?
Your comments about post rates has led me
to comment.
For us to move forward then member clubs
should, as part of their charter to be members
of our association, be not only obliged, but
required to attend to this matter urgently. I
love this sport, so much in fact, that I have
attempted to change thinking in clubs and
have taken the necessary steps to be trained
by a trap manufacturer, at my cost. This has
lead to a gathering of knowledge, not only
from the manufacturer I learned from, but
from experience and travel throughout this
country we call our own. I now feel more
than competent on any brand of equipment
and have proven this to be the case many
times. Then I ask why is this shunned? Why
do clubs not take advantage of higher scores,
more members, when I believe that this
would be surely the case.
For me, given the experience I have gathered
and the number of clubs I have visited, also
the large number of clubs taking advantage
in the investment of knowledge, gives me
the right to place my thoughts on this page.
We must, as a matter of urgency, correct this
discrepancy.
I have travelled to world title matches in many
countries to date. Aussies (your members)
have proven us capable and winners on many
occasions. If we were to practice, at all clubs,
on legal targets, I feel that confidence would
improve and results such as No1, No2, No3
in the world at a title competition, is not
without possibility?? Would you be proud of
that?
Personally I have given up. I still enjoy my
sport, your sport, but I also feel that it has
lost direction. Maybe, after the changes now
being put in place, this may change? Do you
want it to change?

Editors comments:
This issue is dealt with in the rule book.
The new book online now.

I have read the January 2016 Clay Target
News. The President’s notes are very
informative as is the Executive Officers
Report.
I have been involved with DTL since 2009,
but have been involved with firearms since a
young guy.
The Clay News is good, but reading 3 month
old news is not. Why can’t the magazine be
online? It wouldn’t cost $11,000 a month,that
is $132,000 a year which is money that could
be channelled elsewhere to benefit the sport,
clubs and shooters.
The argument that members don’t want it is
ok,but in these times everything is online and
costs and benefits should also be considered.
I think if people were aware of the costs
and given an option, such as a survey to
determine if they would prefer online has
merit.
I am 50 and have been a business owner for
over 21years. When we started everybody
paid by cheque. But now everything is online.
The other benefits of online are that the Clay
News would be current and more advertising
would be available and that more stories
could be covered via information provided
from the Clubs. I also bet that more revenue
would be there for the associations as a result
of the change. An easy way to assess the site
would be via our existing member numbers
as a login.
I am sure the cost savings and convenience
would be immense for the members. An
option would be to consider offering two
membership types,a cheaper membership
as an incentive for those that go online and
a higher rate to cover printing and postage
for those that want to keep the traditional
method of receiving a magazine. This would
ensure those without access to the internet
still have the option of receiving the magazine.
The online option opens up possibility for
the publishing of more photos of other clubs
in the county. The shooting news could be
progressive and weekly or even daily news
could be posted.

Editors comments:
We will continue to provide print so long as it is
viable. The content needs to be sent in by clubs
and States quickly following events to ensure
they are current.
It is a huge job collecting and “proofing”
material, one per month is sufficient. We place
urgent matters on the website.
2016 Red Point 100
Kempsey Clay Target Club
January, 2015
When we arrived at the Kempsey range for the January
Red Point 100 shoot it was during a very heavy down pour.
Quickly ‘googleing’ the weather the forecast was for overcast
conditions, windy with a chance of showers. As it turned
out the forecast was spot on. It must be an age thing as now
that I am a “senior shooter”, I tend to prefer the cooler
rainy conditions to the clear hot sunny days. So far so good,
conditions are to my liking, perhaps nobody else’s but it was
about time things went my way. For one reason or another
it had been three months since I had fired a shot. The range
looked good. We had a good role up and I was ready to shoot
the Red Point 100.
I would like to thank Brad Hooper, the Principal of Red Point for his
sponsorship of the event. Brad has been a long time clay target shooter
and is a valuable member of the Kempsey club. So for any of your lubricant
needs for your boat, 4WD, truck or tractor, as well as all your battery
needs just give Brad a call. Thanks to Brad and his team for their support.
The main event was the Red Point 100 which was divided into two stages.
50Tg DB and 50Tg PS and scored as one event. There was a 15PR DR
shot as a separate event. It might be mentioned here that two of our
older shooters were overheard
discussing the 100 target events.
They were moaning that by having
a 100 target event the older
shooters were disadvantaged. The
reasoning was that they might be
competitive up to say 50 targets
but by 75 targets they would be
getting tired, therefore, giving the
younger shooters an advantage.
It was interesting to note that the
two shooters concerned came 1st
and 2nd respectfully in A grade.
OA Kerry Miller
Anyhow, enough of this idle
chatter, down to the scores.
Overall Winner of the Red Point
100 was Kerry Miller 194/200. AA
The C Grader (centre) who beat the AA Graders
1st Nathan McDonnell 192/200, 2nd Steve Saul 191/200. A 1st Barry Dray
192/200, 2nd John Burke 179/200. B 1st Ben Tyson 184/200, 2nd Kevin
Aiken 183/200. C 1st Barry Pharo 182/200, 2nd Ted Baker 168/200.
The Double Rise was cash divide. The High Gun winner for the day was
Steve Saul 221/231. Well done to all the shooters although that 2nd in A
Grade was a mediocre effort. He may have to ask Vicki Miller for some
coaching. The canteen put on their usual superb spread throughout the
day and the afternoon tea was a delight. After the events were concluded
President Ted, handed the formalities over to Brad, who preceeded to
hand out the prizes. Jenny kept the office ticking over, Vicki kept the score
board up to date and Ted kept an ever watchful eye on the traps. I think all
would agree it was an excellent shoot.
The Old Fella.

Augusta Hillview Carnival
Featuring the GB Corsivia Hillview Championship
December 5 & 6, 2015
Club located south west WA
The annual two day Augusta Hillview Carnival consisting of 150
simulated field targets was held over the weekend of December
5th and 6th of 2015.
Saturday’s 50 target Solofin Cranes Stakes attracted 113 shooters and
the premier event for the weekend, the 100 target GB Corsivia Hillview
Championship drew an excellent field of 120 shooters. Because of the
relaxed and convivial nature of the weekend and the excellent location
of the Augusta club, a large number of shooter’s families and friends also
attended which added substantially to the vibe.
The Club’s location on the eastern flank of the Leeuwin Ridge in the South
West of Western Australia affords a wonderful vista of the Blackwood River
Valley and the Great Southern Ocean and the Club makes the most of this
wonderful elevated location when setting the 15 shooting stations.
In addition to ACTA members, Augusta was pleased to welcome a
strong contingent of Sporting Clays Association (formerly FGA) and SSAA
members, who always provide very strong competition.
Solofin Cranes Stakes
Overcast and showery conditions prevailed early on Saturday but at the
shotgun start the showers had passed and good conditions prevailed.
Phil House always shoots well at Augusta’s Carnival and this year was no
exception. Phil carded an excellent 48/50 to take the Overall trophy from
Michael McDonald with 47/50 and first in AA grade with Jon Dyas 46/50
and second in AA grade. First in A grade was Jed Carter 44/50 after a shoot
off with Clayton Hyder. B grade was won by Nick Haynes with 43/50 after
a shoot off with Mark Murray and C grade was won by Mat Shipp
on 42/50.
The House family, Amada, Phil and Corey
David Knight won the Veterans category with 43/50, Amanda Finn was
the best of the Ladies with 40/50 and Todd Banks took the Juniors with
41/50.
A large group of shooters, families and friends enjoyed the BBQ that
evening and as always Paula Price excelled with her now famous pavlovas.
GB Corsivia Hillview Championship
Fine and mild conditions greeted the shooters on Sunday and the very
strong field ensured great competition.
At the conclusion of the first round of 50 targets, Augusta Club President
Trevor Price
(B grade) was
in early with
a fine 43/50,
Rowan and Garry Shawcross
Front: Grant Cooper, Monika Stipinovich, Nicole Warner, Garry Stipinovich, Back: Tony Trainor, Glen Povey
and Nick Malenko
52
Dave Bies and Kevin Childs
however he was
soon overtaken
by Craig Ellis and
Garry Marsh
both on 46/50,
closely followed
by Jon Dyas on
45/50.
The free lunch
at Augusta is
always special
and this
year was no
exception; fresh
Martin Perry
whiting, smoked
herring and
mullet along with beef burgers plus salads and
desert was welcomed by all.
Lachlan Murray
Gel Povey
Garry Marsh had a problem with focus on
Saturday but focus he did on Sunday and
chalked up another 46/50 in the afternoon
to take the overall winners prize with 92/100
from Phil House and Jon Dyas, both on
90/100. Phil took first in AA grade after a
shootff with Jon who took second in AA grade.
Crag Ellis continued his good return to form
with 89/100 to take first in A grade and in
a family affair, his son Robert took B grade
with 79/100 after a shoot off with Trevor
Price. Trevor works tirelessly for the club
and especially for the Hillview Carnival so he
received a big hand from the crowd when he
collected his prize.
Craig Ellis, Michael McDonald and Mark Murray
Cory House won C grade with 77/100 from Paul Baily with Declan Childs
in third place. Declan’s grandfather, Kevin Childs is a founding member of
the Augusta Club and some years back held the WA longest skeet break
record so it was pleasing to see the family transition unfolding.
It was good to see David Knight shoot a very solid 85/90 to take out first in
veterans and topping off a fine weekend. Jessica Price pipped Amanda Finn
by one target to take the Ladies first place on 79/100 and Todd Banks took
the Juniors with 74/100 to make it first in Juniors on both days.
Phil House shot consistently well to take the two day high gun trophy and
Michael McDonald won the converted Queenie Elliott trophy for the best
aggregate Wannamal 100 and Hillview.
A first for Augusta this year was the lucky draw shoot off where a number
between 50 and 96 was drawn from a hat and the three shooters whose
scores are closest to the drawn number shot off for a case of GB shells.
Amanda Finn, Jess Price and Glen Povey each had 15 targets to take the
prize but it was Jess Price who won the shoot off by one target.
Garry Marsh Hillview Champion 2015
contributed to the success of the weekend and made special mention of
the ladies who worked tirelessly in the kitchen.
Once again our sponsors were wonderful and a big thank you goes to
GB Corsivia, Solofin Cranes (Dave Bies), Ross Porter of Alison Valley
Wines, Amy and Troy Childs (Margaret River Per Foods), Mark Kevill,
Kingsley Edwards (Ashbrook Wines), Mark Murray and Stocker Preston and
many more.

Over a few
refreshments, the
general consensus
was that the Carnival
was back at its best
and that the targets
were a fine mix
to encourage the
newer shooters
and to more than
challenge the best.

Echuca Clay
Target Club
ECHUCA CHRISTMAS SHOOT AND
FAREWELL TO DOT AND HEATHER
The Echuca Clay Target Club held their Xmas shoot on the 13th
of December 2015, with a huge amount of prizes to be shared
amongst the competitors. Prizes included extremely large
hams, turkeys, and puddings etc, all there due to the diligent
shopping of Echuca committee man, Ian Gebhardt. There is a
standing rule at Echuca Xmas shoots that irrespective of the
amount of wins, 2nds, or 3rds a shooter accumulates he or she
can only receive a 1st prize once, a 2nd prize once, and so on,
so the upcoming results of the shoot only relate to the prize
categories won.
Now, to the shoot, and
event one was the traditional “Champion of Champions” and to win this
special sash the shooter
must have won a championship at Echuca sometime throughout the year.
It is a 40 target event with
an end score total maximum of 60 points, and
Warrick Kelvy and Steve
Atkins although not scoring
the actual 60 points only
lost just one point, both
shooting off for the Overall Winners Sash with a
score of 59/60 each. Steve
outlasted Warrick, and Alanah Sing encouragement with Steve Atkins
became the Echuca Clay
Target Club’s, Champion of Champion’s for 2015. Congratulations
Steve Atkins! Warrick Kelvy became 2nd in AA grade, Steve Traill 3rd in
AA Grade, and Russell Felmingham 4th in AA Grade. A Grade placing’s
were 1st Geoff Ervine, 2nd Peter Sing, 3rd Beth Hayden, and 4th Ian
Gebhardt. B grade 1st was Peter Watkins, 2nd Alanah Sing. C grade
placing’s 1st Vinnie Moluso, 2nd Brett Healey, 3rd Giarni Gobbo, and 4th
in C Harry Ogden.
It turned out to be an excellent day for shooting, with a mild temperature,
only a slight breeze, and black targets against a white hazy sky making it
so easy for all shooters to reach very good scores on the day. The ladies
in the kitchen really excelled, with a free very scrumptious afternoon tea
Event Two, a one and one on report novelty event, and AA grade 1st
for all competitors and their families, and again at the completion of the
was Craig Scott, 2nd Nathan Harris, 3rd Warrick Kelvy, and 4th in AA
competition and presentations, which finished at an early time of 5.00pm,
was Peter Gobbo. A Grade 1st Colin Hood, 2nd Beth Hayden, 3rd Peter
a full barbequed meal for all. Thank you big time to the ladies! And the
ladies also showed their value to the club, presenting the
men’s committee President, Stephen Atkins, at the presentations, with a very large cheque, accumulated throughout the year from all their hard work looking after all that
attended the shoots1 Thank you to Dot Roberts, Helen
Atkins, Heather Bradley, and all their helpers throughout the year. During the presentations, Stephen Atkins
announced to all that “Dot and Heather”, after years of
dedicated service of more than 30 years, are retiring at
years end, and presented each with a handsome present,
and a plaque of thanks. These two ladies will be sorely
missed by all, and the club will be hoping that some
younger ladies will be putting up their hands to volunteer
to help Helen Atkins continue the excellent service that
has always been expected at the Echuca clay Target Club. Peter Watkins 1st Ch/Ch B grade Geoff Ervine 1st Ch/Ch A grade

result, Steve settling for third place with
a 52/54 score.

basis, and the club’s committee thank Rob for his effort in encouraging the
up and coming shooters. And now it was won by new shooter, Alanah
Sing, and congratulations go to Alanah for her excellent effort on the day!
A very enjoyable day of Clay Target Shooting, with a mix of Christmas
celebrations and feasting, and would have surely been enjoyed by all
that came, and the committee thanked every shooter that has attended
Echuca, and hope that their attendance will continue throughout 2016.
HOT SHOTS AT ECHUCA
There was only one way to describe the shooting conditions for
the January 2016 shoot at the Echuca Clay Target Club, and that
is “hot and hotter”, without even a hint of a breeze, and a clear
sunny sky, it was certainly a good day for clay target shooting, if
you could survive the 38 degree temperature. And yet five full
squads of shooters came to try their luck at the competition.
Skeet was the first event, 50 targets shot over two layouts, and with no

7th Annual Dog Trap Creek Classic 2016
Callawadda Stawell Clay Target Club
January 16, 2016
This event is shot as two events with the
Overall High Guns over the total of both
events. The day's programme included
the opportunity to share in a $500.00
cash prize if you could shoot both events
clean.
AA Grade 1st Wayne (Angry) Hawker 117/120,
2nd Leon Gibson 112/120.
We think the extra pressure of 25 targets points
score at both ends of the programme meant that
the $500.00 was reasonably safe.
C Grade 1st Cass Comensoli 86/100, 2nd Mitch
(Wood-duck) Wooding 82/100.
The first 50 target event was shot 25 target
points score, then 25 targets double barrel in the
Classic, which was hotly contested as the Overall winner didn’t take their grade. After a short
but stressful shoot-off Wayne Hawker pulled a
second to give the overall to” Bull-bar”.
Result: – Overall winner was Cameron (Bull-bar)
Browne from Hopetoun GC 118/120
A Grade 1st Allan Jones (Bordertown SA) 96/100,
2nd Zak Biggin 94/100.
B Grade 1st Mark Tyson 95/100, 2nd Glenn
Wilkinson 92/100.
Event two, the 50 Target Dog Trap Creek
Championship was won outright by Eric Yetman from Patchewallock Gun Club being the
only shooter to shoot the 100/100. 2nd after a
shoot-off in ‘AA’ Grade, was Col Dunn 138/140.
A Grade 1st Allan Jones 96/100, 2nd Gary (Mr
Smooth) Pike from Mildura 94/100.
B Grade 1st Ron Hounsell 93/100, 2nd Glenn
Wilkinson 92/100.
Wayne Hawker Overall High Gun
C Grade 1st Cass Comensoli 92/100, 2nd Riley

The conditions were good for shooting, with just
enough breeze to make shooters concentrate
fully.
It was great to see one of our visiting Ladies have
a successful day by picking up three sashes, well
done Cass Comensoli.

ACTA NEWS
RAY PEATLING APPOINTED
NATIONAL HANDICAPPER
Victorian Handicapper and long time handicapper at the ACTA Trap
Nationals, Ray Peatling, has been appointed as the National Handicapper
for the ACTA.
Ray’s experience as a shooter, handicapper and administrator makes
him ideal for the role and includes continuing to oversee the National
Championship events as well as being the point of call for States in regard
to handicapping.
The process for Clubs is still through your Zone, then State.
Ray is already working on a handicapping guide to assist handicappers at
all levels of the sport.
NEW CONSTITUTION FOR ACTA
selecting those though our membership base we can achieve the best of
both worlds so to speak. Having members experienced in the sport as
well as having business acumen would allow the Board to select the best
possible people for the co-opted positions. Specific expertise in the area
of marketing and sponsorship are one and legal and accounting are two
other mandatory positions that would need to be filled.
The setup of the Board will be structured in the same way as many
other national Sporting Organisations, the membership (States) elect the
board and the Board then elect the President and office bearers. These
members then have the power to co-opt members to the Board.
Nominations would be directed to a Nominations committee who
would “rate” the applicants on what they bring to the Association.
A needs analysis of the ACTA would form part of the structure in the
nomination process (what we are looking for in terms of experience).
The nominations committee however do NOT select or reduce the
number of candidates. That is done at the AGM.
The major Changes proposed for the 2016 AGM are explained below.
The major items changed in simple terms include.
The full executive Committee in June 2015 agreed unanimously to move
to a company limited by guarantee. The Board and the Executive Officer
were given the role of compiling a new constitution in line with best
practice for modern Sporting organisations.
2. The State can nominate four of those received to the Nominations
committee
The changes proposed are for the benefit of the ACTA as a National
Organisation. The requirement of the incorporations act is that notices
of motion along with the agenda and annual report are sent to clubs
21 days prior to the AGM. The ACTA have put these changes out for
public scrutiny three months before the AGM. We are giving members
the opportunity where required to ask questions to clarify areas of the
constitution they are not familiar with. There are very few changes to the
current constitution and none that affect any individual club.
The ACTA membership has many highly qualified members in a myriad of fields, the opportunity to have a performance based Board has
been discussed for over 20 years, the Association is now in a position to
move to this “professional” model. Within the membership we have the
quality and diversity to fulfil the vision of having a “professional” Board. By
1. Clubs nominated ACTA members directly to their State for the
ACTA Board.
3. States vote at the AGM (usually on the acceptance of the Annual
Report and for nominated Board members)
4. The Board elect their President, Vice President etc as they do now.
5. The Board can select up to three “appointed” directors
6. Clubs can still place items on the National agenda, through their
State.
7. The State are invited to attend the annual Directors “forum” in June.
8. States have a direct line to the Board for agenda items through the
Executive Officer.
There are other minor changes that are reflective of the new constitutional requirements by moving to a company limited by guarantee.

OUTLINE OF VICTORIAN INCORPORATED ASSOCIATION
AGAINST A PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
Structure
Company –

INCORPORATED ASSOCIATION
PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
An incorporated association is a body corporate with a legal
personality separate from its members.
Incorporated associations are registered and regulated by the
Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Vic) (“Victorian
Act”), which is administered by Consumer Affairs Victoria.
The Victorian Act provides a simple and affordable means of
creating a separate legal entity for small, community based
groups with limited resources, which operate only in Victoria.
Operating outside of Victoria requires registration with the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) as
an Australian Registrable Body.
The Victorian Act imposes less onerous conditions than the
Corporations Act which governs the activities of companies.
Companies limited by guarantee are public companies constituted by members and governed by a board of directors.
Companies limited by guarantee are registered and regulated
by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”),
which is administered by ASIC.
A company's registration is recognised Australia wide.
Legal Status
No real
difference
The association has a legal existence independent of its
members. This means that as an entity it may:
(a) sue and be sued;
(b) acquire, hold and dispose of property;
(c) act as a trustee;
(d) make contracts and enter into tenancy agreements;
(e) have a common seal;
(f) receive a bequest or gift from a will; and
(g) have perpetual succession. That is, the association will
remain in existence regardless of who is a member until
it is disbanded by operation of the law.
A company limited by guarantee has broad powers equivalent
to the legal capacity of an individual and a body corporate
(except for the power to issue shares).
Registration of a company creates a legal entity separate from
its members. This means that, as with an incorporated association, a company may:
(a) sue and be sued;
(b) acquire, hold and dispose of property;
(c) act as a trustee;
(d) make contracts and enter into tenancy agreements;
(e) receive a bequest or gift from a will; and
(f) have perpetual succession. The company remains in
existence until it is disbanded by operation of the law.
Trading ability
An incorporated
association may
trade where it is
consistent with
its purpose.
Provided there is no inconsistency with the incorporated association’s purposes, an incorporated association may
trade or be involved in trading activities.
All funds raised by trading must be directed back to furthering
the incorporated association’s mission.
Once a company is registered under the Corporations Act it
can operate anywhere in Australia. A company is entitled to
carry on business nationally without having to separately
incorporate in each State and Territory or register as an ARB.
A company may conduct trade with the public as a primary
purpose. In contrast, an incorporated association may only
trade with the public if that trade is ancillary to the association’s
purpose.
Winding up
and the liability
of members
No real difference
Members are not liable to contribute towards the payment
of the debts and liabilities of the incorporated association or
the costs, charges and expenses of the winding up of the
incorporated association.
The liability of members of an incorporated association
(including members who are committee members) in the
event of a winding up is limited to amounts due to the
association by way of unpaid subscriptions, joining fees or
other amounts payable under the Rules of the association.
A company has limited liability in the event of it being wound
up and is a separate legal entity distinct from its members.
“Limited by guarantee” means the liability of the company’s
members is limited to the amount of the guarantee (that is, the
amount a member has agreed to contribute in the event of
the company being wound up). The amount of the guarantee
is usually specified in the company’s constitution and is often
fixed at a nominal amount. The guarantee is only called in a
winding up situation.
Office Holders’
and Directors’
Duties and
Liabilities
Similar standards
for office holders
and directors
Office holders of incorporated associations are subject to
equitable and common law duties. These fiduciary duties
require officeholders to:
(a) act in good faith in the best interests of the company;
(b) act for a proper purpose; and
(c) give adequate consideration to decisions and keep
discretions unfettered.
If they fail in any of these duties, directors may be liable to
personally compensate members who suffer loss.
In addition, the Victorian Act imposes statutory duties on
Office Holders. The definition of office holder includes:
(a) a member of the committee;
(b) the secretary; and
(c) a person, including an employee of the association,
who is involved in key decisions that affect the operations
of an association or who is influential in the affairs
(financial or otherwise) of the association.
These statutory duties require office holders to:
(a) not make improper use of information or position;
(b) act with due care and diligence, including the duty to
prevent the association from trading while insolvent;
(c) exercise powers and discharge duties in good faith
and for a proper purpose and
(d) manage conflicts of interest.
Directors of company’s limited by guarantee are subject to
the same equitable and common law duties as directors of
incorporated associations. These fiduciary duties require
directors to:
(a) act in good faith in the best interests of the company;
(b) act for a proper purpose; and
(c) give adequate consideration to decisions and keep
discretions unfettered.
If they fail in any of these duties, directors may be liable to
personally compensate members who suffer loss.
In addition, a company limited by guarantee attracts the
statutory directors’ duties under the Corporations Act.
These statutory duties include duties to:
(a) act in good faith and in the best interests of the
company;
(b) act with due care and diligence;
(c) act for a proper purpose (that is, not for personal
advantage or to the company’s detriment);
(d) not use information acquired for personal advantage or to
the company’s detriment;
(e) disclose material personal interests;
(f) not to vote on a matter involving a material personal
interest, nor be present when such matters are
considered;

Office holders who breach these duties may be liable to
personally compensate members (or the association).
The Victorian Act sets out two defences - the ‘business
judgment rule’ and ‘reasonable reliance on information or
advice’ – which may be available to an office holder to
defend a claim that he/she has breached a statutory duty.
The Victorian Act requires incorporated associations to
indemnify each of its office holders against any liability
incurred in good faith by the office holder in the course of
performing their duties.
(g) avoid insolvent trading;
(h) retain appropriate discretions, for example when
delegating functions to sub-committees of the board; and
(i) avoid conflicts of interest.
The Corporations Act sets out two defences which may be
available to an office holder to defend a claim that he/she has
breached a statutory duty - the ‘business judgment rule’ and
‘reasonable reliance on information or advice’.
Directors of companies who breach these duties are exposed
to both civil and criminal penalties. They may be individually
liable for penalties up to $200,000. The company also may
be liable for penalties up to $1 million.
The Corporations Act provides that, in certain circumstances,
a company may indemnify its directors and officers against
personal liability which they may incur in the course of
performing their duties.
The Victorian Act imposes a range of compliance obligations
on incorporated associations. These include the following
matters:
(a) Must not be formed or carried on for the purposes of
providing financial gain for its members.
(b) An alteration of the statement of purposes or rules of an
incorporated association must be lodged and approved
by the Registrar before it takes effect.
(c) An incorporated association must hold an annual general
meeting (AGM) each calendar year within 5 months of the
end of the financial year of the incorporated association.
(d) An incorporated association must submit to its members
at an AGM, a statement containing details of all income
and expenditure during the last financial year, assets and
liabilities, mortgages, charges and securities affecting any
of the incorporated association’s property, and details
relating to any trust of which the association was trustee
during the previous financial year, or any trust which
contains funds of the incorporated association and the
statement must be kept for at least 7 years after the
date of submission.
(e) The reporting requirements for incorporated associations
vary depending on the association’s total revenue for the
financial year. The reporting requirements are as follows:
(i) tier one associations (revenue up to $250,000) must
have their accounts reviewed by an independent
accountant if a majority of its members vote to
require it;
(ii) tier two associations (total revenue between
$250,000 and $1m) are required to have their
accounts reviewed by a recognised independent
accountant; and
(iii) tier three associations (revenue over $1m) must
have their accounts fully audited.
(f) At, or soon after, the AGM, a committee member must
certify that the committee member attended the AGM
and that the statement referred to in (d) was submitted
to members at the AGM.
(g) The secretary of an incorporated association must lodge
an annual statement (containing the particulars referred
A company’s compliance obligations are more onerous than
those associated with incorporated associations. Under the
Corporations Act companies limited by guarantee are subject
to the disclosure requirements that apply to public companies.
These include:
(a) Requirements to notify ASIC of all material changes in
administration and governance of the company, including
change of name, address, company secretary, directors
and constitution.
(b) Hold an annual general meeting (AGM) each calendar
year within 5 months of the end of the financial year of the
company.
(c) Requirement to lodge annual statements of solvency.
(d) Requirements regarding the administration of company
business such as the conduct of formal meetings, passing
and recording resolutions.
(e) Requirements relating to maintenance of company
financial records.
(f) Requirements relating to the maintenance of company
registers.
(g) Detailed procedures must be followed in relation to the
appointment and removal of auditors.
(h) Have at least 3 directors and 1 secretary.
(i) Have at least 1 member.
(j) Have a registered office address and principal place of
business located, open and accessible in Australia.
(k) Be managed by a Constitution or Replaceable rules.
(l) Maintain a record of all directors’ and members’ meeting
minutes and resolutions.
(m) Appoint a registered company auditor within 1 month of
its registration.
(n) Receive and review an annual company statement and
pay an annual review fee. A charitable or not-for-profit
company may be eligible for a reduced annual review
fee if it meets the criteria under the definition of ‘special
purpose company’ in regulation 3(a), (b), (c) or (d) of the
Corporations (Review Fees) Regulations 2003.
Company members are entitled to vote at annual general
meetings and extraordinary general meetings. The members
to in (d) with the Registrar within one month of the AGM
taking place and, in the case of a prescribed association,
a copy of the audited accounts must also be lodged.
(h) An incorporated association must maintain adequate and
accurate accounting records of its financial transactions.
(i) It must be governed in accordance with the Association’s
Rules, which must address the 23 matters set out in
Schedule 1 of the Victorian Act.
(j) It must have at least 5 members.
vote on issues such as changes to the company’s constitution
and the appointment of directors.
Operating as a company limited by guarantee also imposes
more onerous accounting and financial obligations.
Profits
Cannot be
distributed to
members –
no real difference
An incorporated association must not secure a profit for
its members (or divide a profit among members or distribute profit to members). However, an association is not
considered to be ‘securing profit for its members’ if:
(a) it makes a profit;
(b) it makes a payment of remuneration in good faith to
a member;
(c) it gives a benefit to a member which is a benefit of
membership (a right or entitlement by virtue of being
a member);
(d) the members compete for trophies or prizes in contests
directly related to the purposes of the association;
(e) the members of the association receive benefits through
the enjoyment of facilities or services provided by the
association for social, recreational, educational or other
similar purposes; or
(f) it makes payments to a member that is an incorporated
association having the same or similar purposes,
and such action is in order to further the objects of the
association.
All profits must be directed toward furthering the association’s
objects and carrying on its related activities.
A company limited by guarantee must not pay a dividend to its
members. Depending on the constitution of the company, it
may be permitted (without being in breach of the
Corporations Act) to make payments to members which are
of a similar type to those payments an association may make
to its members.
Generally, companies limited by guarantee must use the word
“limited” or the abbreviation “Ltd” in their name, but ASIC
may waive this requirement for a not-for-profit company. To
do so, the company must pursue charitable purposes only
and apply its income in promoting those purposes, it must not
make distributions to its members or pay fees to its directors
and the directors of the company must approve all other
payments the company makes to its directors.
Costs
Higher costs for
company
The costs associated with an incorporated association in
administering an organisation should generally be minor.
There are maintenance costs to be incurred under both
entities, such as registration fees and lodgement of annual
returns. These costs are marginally higher for a company,
however these costs are not prohibitive.
The fees associated with compliance obligations under the
Corporations Act are generally more than the fees required
for the administration of associations. There are also
substantial late fees imposed on the notification requirements
which are strictly enforced by ASIC.
The Australian Sports Commission's Mandatory Sports Governance Principles (March 2013) states:
The Corporations Act provides for a very robust and structured platform for the operation of organisations and provides clarity
in areas silent within the Association Incorporation Act (particularly in the context of internal management and corporate
governance). In addition, changes to the Corporations Act in 2010 have created a system of tiers based on revenue. For National
Sports Organisations that fall within the lower tiers, the reporting requirements have been made less onerous than they were
previously.
For these reasons, the Australian Sports Commission recommends that National Sports Organisations should be companies
limited by guarantee.
