On the motion of Mr Howie, seconded by Mr Banks, it was decided to form a Martini-Henry club to be called the Birmingham Rifle Club. The subscription fee was fixed at 10s per member, and, twenty having signed the membership roll, a committee of four was appointed to inspect sites suitable for a range, and report at next meeting. The Secretary, pro tern, was instructed to write for quotations for a supply of rifles.
