Roseville Rifle Club Australia

Phew! We made it to the end of another successful shooting year. For some, it is a time for celebration of their club-shooting success; for others, it means a fresh start to improve over the next year (or to do more load testing). It was a wet year and it was a hot year. But we survived and thrived. So let’s do a whip around to highlight our Roseville successes (noting we will have a suitable presentation day later when it is a bit warmer).

We salute our club champions and runners up:

Special mention goes to our extra hard working behind the scenes people:

• The 2024/25 Club committee: President Mark Buchanan and Club Captain Rob Trodden supported by Secretary Christian LeMoy, Treasurer Steve Tofler, Statistician Ian Palmer and the rest of the committee
• Our representatives on the 2024/25 NRTSCMA committee >> Alan Patrick, Adrian Bonanni
• Dmitri Kazakov who supports us, the Hornsby clubs and everyone with the HEXTA targets
• Every club member that has helped put up a flag, been a range officer, vacuumed the club house, put up a target, did kitchen duties, helped set up the mound, repaired a target face, chipped in doing range maintenance, or helped coach a new shooter. You know we cant do it without you!

Well done to everyone! What a remarkable year it was. We also welcomed some new members (looking at you Alex Toth and Steve Bliim), welcomed some back (Tamas Szalai) and said hello to some prospective members. So, lets see what we can do in 2025/26 as the book is now open to a new page.
