Pistol New Zealand AGM 2009

Date: Saturday 12 Sept @ 9:30am

So this was the first time I have attended a PNZ AGM....
I went with no real expectations as I was unsure what I would be expecting from the event.

We started on time, which was a good thing !!
The morning progressed slowly, with lots of discussion around remits and motions that were tabled.

Joe Green came along to talk, which was interesting and raised a few thoughts which will be discussed further as time rolls by.  Only thing wrong, IMHO, is that Joe wasn't given 'enough' time to talk !
It was a shame as somebody of his calibre is not always able to take time out of his schedule to address a group like ours, and it would have been great to hear more of his ideas and potential movements that are happening within the Police force relating to shooting.

Spare seats existed on the PNZ council for this year, and I was tempted to put my hand up as a nominee, but having taken on further responsibilities at the Porirua Association, the timing was unfortunately not right.  I hope this won't prove to be a lost opportunity on my part !!

Lunch was simple, yet very tasty and the spaghetti cabinora was especially yummy !!

It was good to catch up with a few shooting friends from around the country and also to meet a few more.

Overall impression of the day.... interesting, yet I did walk away feeling like there could have just been 'a bit more' presented and done....

We'll just have to see what the next year brings I suppose.
