LMRA originally told me that this round would be in the afternoon!!! It has now stitched to the morning.
6/3/23 – Not entering a team as only 3 people available. LMRA need confirmed entries early due to NRA cancellation policy for large bookings.
3/1/23 – Asked Robin to book electronic target (or target with Marker if electronics fully booked).
10/1/23 – Electronics confirmed 300 – 08:30-10:30 and 600 – 10:30-12:30
LMRA round 1 is now AM!!! Will need to switch this practice to PM.
PM 900 falling back to 1000 with marker confirmed 13/2/23.
12/2/23 asked Robin to book electronic target 300 yards 08:30-10:30 & 600 yards 10:30-12:30 or a target with marker at 300 falling back to 600 morning only.
Electronics confirmed 13/2/23.
9/5/23 – Lee (LMRA) advised that they got the booking wrong and it is morning, not afternoon!
3/1/23 – Asked Robin to book electronic target at 300/600 yards (or target with Marker if electronics fully booked – 300,500,600).
7/1/23 – 300 electronic approved 08:30-10:30 but 600 electronic not available (10:30-12:30). We have therefore requested a target with marker for the whole morning (NRA plan for this day is 300 yards falling back to 500 & 600).
31/1/23 – 300, 500, 600 fallback is full. Booking amended and confirmed as 300 electronic 0830-11:30
9/5/23 – Due to LMRA cocking up their booking, i.e. league is the morning, not the afternoon, and it’s too late to cancel our practice, the NRA have given us an afternoon electronic but it will be 300 falling back to 500 & 600 with no shroud (whatever that is) and a 600 aiming mark at all distances!

Put in additional bid for 1000 only PM just in case 900>1000 fall back is not available.
NRA unable to provide markers or targets we want on 16th. We have therefore moved the championships to 17th, but note, 900 AM and 300/600 PM.
Now have manual target with marker at 1000 all morning as there are problems with electronics.
3/1/23 – Asked Robin to book target with marker.
