Thread: Auckland shooting club membership fees

Yes he did state that it was his own opinion, but the issue is not expressing an opinion, we are all entitled to do that (btw I totally disagree with his), but the way in which he propagated his opinion to a captive audience i.e. via his privileged access to the club membership database/email list. I don't have access to that list so that I can now "express my opinion".

And he has advised that he has subsequently received some contrary opinions back but he has not circulated those opinions to club membership, although some of the replies, I am guessing may not be fit for general publication.

“Tarred with the same brush” now springs to mind in respect of the club itself but of course that is just my personal opinion.

If the Auckland shooting club was setting up south of Auckland I'd be in like Flynn. Fact is they're not, so at present Waiuku is convenient for rainy days when I want to blam off rounds. The fact the club secretary had a major brainfart doesn't make me want to cancel membership and storm off in a huff. Gotta shoot somewhere and my home range is dependent on neighbours grazing. Neighbour knows this and I think he uses cattle as a form of noise control. Can't annoy neighbour and I can't see the point in driving over an hour and a half to shoot 35m.

Mmmm, don't think I said anything about storming off in a huff, will leave that to others methinks.

There's probably a few members who might be.
Coz I joined for use of the range I don't really know much about club politics. Damn sure I don't want to either. Pretty certain someone's brainfart will make an interesting AGM .
