    I can understand that. I'm a committee member on my local club and we are having that same discussion. Last time 2 was easy to manage, but now the goal posts have shifted.
    One concern is how are people expected to drink a coffee let alone eat a pie wearing a mask.😊

    Can you imagine the outrage if a bunch of despicable shooters were to socialise and one of them had the RED CHINA FLU, infecting the others and starting a cluster!

    It would be international news.

    Message received and understood. I will await the outcome with keen anticipation. In the event that the event is cancelled for reasons related to Auckland being a cesspit of COVID-19 evilness then I will toss up whether to run the gauntlet of border control just to give young Brads a cuddle. Gosh I miss his tanned bald dome. Ha ha ha ha
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    If date changes may be able to go.
    At moment looking at "maybe" trip with a couple mates doing the first weekend fishing and me an armed tramp.
    But last year very busy.
    If Auckland still locked down numbers might be reduced.

    With the announcement today that L4 restrictions remain in Auckland, I have decided to delay the event. BRADS and I have been talking over the last couple of weeks, and we are both firm on not wanting to be the shooting event that makes the news headlines for the wrong reasons in these Covid times...

    My reasoning:

    1) Around 1/4 of the competitors registered so far come from Auckland. Two of those specifically are helping me with running the event.

    2) Level 2 restrictions around socializing after the shoot. This is a large part of the Big Bore shoot. I would rather wait till we are all able to have a bbq and share a beer, and sit around the woolshed like we have done in the past.

    3) Single squad with people from all over the North Island. I know some of the large shooting events are continuing, but they have the luxury of splitting squads into geographic regions. Given the numbers who attend our event, this is not feasible.

    For those who have paid upfront (thank you !), I will be in touch to arrange refunds.
