OCTOBER 25, 2015 - ATLANTIC HIGHPOWER (FULLBORE) COMMITTEE MEETING

Wendy Reid, who took minutes for this meeting, sends the following link 2015 ATLANTIC HIGHPOWER (FULLBORE) MINUTES

Please Note: 
The Team Composition and selection of each province's team members for the 2016 InterMaritime Match and the British Team Match will change substantially. Here is an excerpt from the minutes:

Inter-Maritime Match and British Team Match Changes: 
 The team composition will change to 4 TR shooters and 4 F-TR shooters from 5 and 3 respectively. 
 Since PEI will have difficulty fielding an 8 person team, the other provinces agreed to share some of their shooters to ensure all three provinces would have enough team members and have 3 competitive teams. 
 Since PEI has difficulty getting enough range time prior to these matches, the matches will be scheduled later in June than traditionally shot. 
 These changes will be a trial situation and will be re-assessed at this meeting next year.

The following conditions and procedures will be followed in doing so:  
1. Each Province with ample shooters will (“protect”) designate 2 TR & 2 F-TR shooters to shoot on their team. 
2. The other shooters from the province (based on their own selection match/method) will be put into a ”pool” and their names will be drawn to represent one of the 3 provinces. 
3. The Fullbore Chairman from each province will coordinate the pools and draws 2 weeks prior to the event and shooters will be notified. 
4. The  teams arranged in this manner will shoot in both the Inter-Maritime match and the British Team match. 

So, for us in New Brunswick, we would have our annual InterMaritime/British Team Match trials and the top 2 TR and F-TR shooters would form the "core" of our New Brunswick Team. 
All other shooters who want to compete in these matches would enter a "pool" of available shooters which would include shooters from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and possibly a few from PEI. From this pool, each province would draw shooters in sequence to round out their 8 person teams. 
So, New Brunswick would have a "core" of our own shooters and could have shooters from both NS and PEI on our team. Likewise, both the teams from NS and PEI could have shooters from New Brunswick on their teams.
