Board Elections

Vacancies have arisen for the two positions of West Midlands Director, and a National Director to join the Association’s Board, following the current three year terms for each of these posts expiring. The positions are for three year terms to run from the Association’s AGM on 25th March 2017 to the AGM in 2020. 

To continue with the development of the Association the Board needs members with the appropriate skills, Board experience and knowledge to operate successfully at strategic level. Members who can bring significant relevant business experience to the Boardroom to complement the skills and knowledge of the existing directors, along with a good knowledge and understanding of clay target shooting, are particularly welcome.
