Restructure to support future growth

Posted on November 6, 2020 (updated:November 9, 2020) by Gorgs Geikie

The recent months has given us the opportunity at British Shooting, to revisit our vision for Target Sprint and enable us to refine & restructure our plan for the exciting future of the sport.

 

British Shooting’s vision and mission for the sport of target sprint remains:

  • Vision – To inspire a new generation to reach their potential.
  • Mission – Create a sustainable and progressive Target Sprint Community

 

Our priorities going forwards remain to:

  1. Engage with new audiences
  2. Enable the development of a sustainable community
  3. Empower individuals to reach their potential

 

The target sprint community are integral in the growth and development of the sport, so we began this process with a survey at the beginning of the year. Followed by further conversations across the community.

 

A Target Sprint Group was set up to help to shape what this looks like on the ground, with a plan in place to help support the growth of our sport. This group consists of Stephen Batchelor, Paul Langford, Robert Shawyer, Liz Davidson and Gorgs Geikie.

This group is separate to the GB Selection Panel.

 

Network Activator Role

As part of our domestic restructuring, we recognise the role that is played by individuals to support the development of future hubs, enabling target sprint to be taken to new audiences. Furthermore, we understand the fantastic part our Hubs play in supporting our community. This combination see’s British Shooting recognising all environments that support activity and meet our guidelines as Target Sprint Hub as well as key individuals nationwide.

Is this you?

We’re interested to hear from people across the country who’d like to support the development of target sprint for the future as one of our Network Activators. If that’s you, please contact Gorgs at Events@BritishShooting.org.uk
