South Wales Branch Auction
The New South Wales Branch will conduct an auction at Mudgee on Saturday 7th February. The auction list for this even is now available. To view this list, go to the 'Auction' page.
2 The National AGM
The National AGM and auction was a huge success. With over one hundred members present, this was certainly the biggest meeting held to date. Thanks to Shaun and his team for their hard work in preparing the venue and ensuring the success of the meeting. The 'Prices Realised List' for this auction is now available. To view this list, go to the auction page and enter the usual passwords.
3 State & Territory Legislation
The National Legislation Officer, Gerard Dutton, has written to each and every state and territory authority to clarify the legislation that relates to the collection of ammunition across Australia. His enquiries have been extensive and the responses from the regulatory bodies are clearly set out and are easy to read and understand. Consequently, a new page 'Legislation' has been added to the website. It would be in the best interests of each member to download the relevant state or territory section for perusal. To go to this page, click here.
4 IAA Journal
The International Ammunition Association Inc (IAA) journal is now available for members in an electronic format as well as the familiar printed version. You may view a past copy of the new eJournal by visiting http://cartridgecollectors.org/samplejournal.pdf
This IAA Journal is undoubtedly the leading journal in the world and is a valuable resource for all collectors of ammunition. If you are not currently a member of IAA you should perhaps consider joining now to take advantage of the research and information that is available through that club. It is considerably cheaper to have the journal delivered electronically than to have a hard copy posted out so now may be the time to join up. The cost of six eJournals is just US$25 per year. For full details of the club, visit http://www.cartridgecollectors.org/index.html
5 Guidelines for ACCA Journal Contributions
John Dunn, Editor of ACCA Journal, has provided guidelines to assist members in writing articles for publication. The guidelines are located on the Journal Page.
6 New Web Site
A relatively new web site http://usedguns.com.au will appeal to many ACCA members. The site is dedicated to buying and selling of all things related to shooting. It allows the buyer to directly contact the seller (and vice versa). The webmaster of the site has kindly agreed to include items of interest to ACCA members and writes: "The 'accessories' page is where your members can sell cartridge boxes by describing them in 20 words plus contact details, this may be more than one box. If a member is looking for cartridges he can list what he is looking for in the 'looking for' section again in 20 words or less plus contact details, this may be several cartridges. Also if a member had a collection to sell he could do an add with a photo and a few details ( the photo explains most things ) plus contact details. I am determined to accommodate all facets of the shooting sports".
To
me, this sounds to be something that we have needed for ages. Check it out and
start adding your own items. However, please be reasonable and add only 'high
ticket' items so that the pages do not become clogged and unmanageable.
