That the corps or club has at least one rifle competition during the month, ard that the scores of each member shooting are carefully recorded. 3. That the corps or club is prepared to send at least one member, who shall be the winner of the annual bronze medal of the Association, to the annual meeting of the N. Z. Rifle Association. 4. That the corps or club pay £2 annually to the Association as an affiliation fee. 5.
