Most, if not all, QRA ranges located in Queensland are back shooting on some regular schedule. Certainly, in some cases it’s not what we were totally used to with changes having been made to accommodate the necessary health directives currently in place. It is important that clubs and individuals continue to monitor the advice provided by the State Government in relation to COVID-19 requirements. As we have seen in Victoria recently, large scale outbreaks will only create additional restrictions. In this, we all have a role to play.

Member Subscriptions
As part of the response to COVID-19 the QRA Board has reviewed costs for members in this coming membership period. It is completely understood that some of our members have been doing it tough because of the COVID crisis through reductions or even complete loss of work or business.

Taking several factors into play the QRA Board has agreed to reduce membership costs for the 2020-2021 financial year by $10 – thus making the QRA/NRAA Fullbore Membership $165 from its original $175 (excluding Club fees). This decision was made to assist, albeit minor, those members affected by the current economic fallout from COVID.

The reduction in fees was funded via a non-renewal of the insurance policy the QRA held for all its members relating to damage and theft of equipment and through QRA direct funds. The insurance policy, currently in place till September this year, is no longer available. The NRAA has negotiated a national deal that is optional for members to take up. Further information will provide about this in the future.

Clubs will be advised in due course if payments have already been made on behalf of members about refunds or related credit.
