The Spike or Victoria College Review 1941
Defence Rifle Club
Defence Rifle Club
At a committee meeting of this Club, held towards the end of 1940, it was decided to suspend activities for the duration of the war. Ammunition was becoming increasingly difficult to procure, the Club was losing many of its stoutest members, and it was impossible to obtain the use of a range. Accordingly, the Club gear, records and finances were handed over to the Students' Association for safe keeping, and the Club trophies deposited in the hall at V.U.C.
There was no activity at all in the 1940-1 season, and although two of the other Colleges were willing to find teams and ammunition, the Haslam Shield matches were unable to be held at the Easter Tournament.
