Oamaru Railway Miniature Rifle Club

Oamaru Railway Miniature Rifle Club.

The Oamaru Railway Miniature Rifle Club which was formed in May (under the patronage of Dr. Orbell) has now a membership of over fifty. Two cups for annual competition amongst members were generously donated by Mr. A. Block and Mr. J. Keith respectively. The club, since its formation, has improved both in regard to teams and individual shooting, and at the present time has four teams (each comprising five members) entered in the competition for the North Otago Times Shield. The club holds its shoot weekly (on Saturday evenings) and a cordial invitation to be present is extended to any railway men visiting Oamaru. The establishment of the club, by providing means of social intercourse, has done much to foster the spirit of goodwill and fellowship amongst members of the staff.

Should the establishment of similar clubs on other parts of the system be contemplated, the Secretary of the Oamaru Club, Mr. H. A. Early, Railway Station, Oamaru, would be pleased to supply copies of the local rules or other information that may be desired.
