Well, I am in favour and would travel anywhere in UK, but Steve's
suggestion of holding it at the NEC in Birmingham is probably the most
practical. I agree that there is a need to distance ourselves from the
NRA althought I am not convinced that distancing ourselves from Target
Shooting is a good idea at this stage, because that would also distance
us from the present gun owners and from their support, both moral and
financial.
Is it a better strategy to demand a repeal of a very recent act of
Parliament, which we can prove to have been totally ineffective and
misplaced, or to attempt to restore a "right" that can be argued that we
have not had for 80 years and which is very much under attack world
wide?
Whilst we are on this subject may I say that I believe that the GCN have
the right to be anti-gun, but we have the equal right to be pro-gun AND
TO SAY WHAT WE BELIVEVE AND WANT TO THEIR FACES!!!!!
The only logical reason why the six members of GCN are always listenened
to and invited to sit on various committees is because they are
Governmnent sponsored, so let us not kid ourselves any longer that they
are a genuine anti-gun body. Nevertheless, anyone is entitled to lobby
the government on any issue, but they are not entitled to do so from
complete secrecy. So, let us have their names, addresses, emails and
any other way to reach them with our opinions!!!!!

I suggested the motorcycle museum, not the NEC!
The GCN is not Government sponsored. They do seem to have reasonably
competent PR though.
