This “competition only” is, as far as aware only being set for the English & British majors? these aren’t compulsory events to enter, and “profit” from such an event is not dependent on the competition entry fee element. Now I’m of the opinion that yes the CPSA should be looking to turn a small % profit from the relatively small entry at its blue riband / flagship / majors and not at a loss to be covered by the vast majority that won’t be competing. No one’s barring, preventing or making entry difficult to any of the membership, and we all have a chance of winning in our class, yes the title will be tussled over by international superstars, the vast majority of entrants however will only be competing in their class / cat be it AAA AA A B C, ladies juniors colts etc, the prize monies stay in class, so unless your in AAA your £10 won’t be fought over by the big girls & boys, it’s a competition between shots of a similar standard, and in past this payout has been transparent. Me, I’m a plodder and always dip my toe, the odd win is most welcome.
Having found and read the CPSA meeting minutes it is clear that this change is only for CPSA Major Championships and NOT Minor Championships & other Registered Shoots, would advise any CPSA member that has concerns / reservations that this change may in future be rolled out further you express these to your CPSA county committee who can forward on your behalf.
