Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters,

After 15 years of dedicated service, I write this message with a heavy heart to announce the closure of the East Rand Shooting Club. The scheduled October '25 shoot, was our last.

Running this association has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside over 400 members, assisting with more than 1,000 firearm license applications with only one rejection due to a CFR administrative error. I have helped place nearly 600 firearms into the hands of responsible, law-abiding citizens, and I am proud to have stood beside each and every one of you.

Thanks to the unwavering commitment of our volunteer range and safety officers, we have maintained an impeccable safety record, their professionalism and vigilance have upheld the good name of our club, and I am deeply grateful for their service.

I have always strived to go above and beyond—to teach, to guide, and to serve. But the time has come for me to step away and close this chapter.

I want to thank every member who walked this journey with me. Whether you attended every event or just a few, I believe the East Rand Shooting Club has touched many lives, and I am honoured to have played a part in that.

This is not just a farewell, it is a celebration of what we have built together. I leave with pride in our accomplishments and gratitude for the friendships forged along the way.
