Ledevergaderings / Members meetings
Eland-tak se ledevergadering word op die eerste Maandag van die maand om 19:00 by die Alberton Krieketklub gehou. Gassprekers wat oor ʼn interessante onderwerp gesels, maak soms deel uit van die program. Na verrigting word gewoonlik met ʼn vleisbraai afgesluit. Inligting oor die vergadering word per sms en sosiale media aan lede versprei.
Opleiding / Training
The branch periodically offers training for dedicated hunter and sports shooter status, range officers, reloading courses and relevant courses for juniors.
The branch offers a flexible training programme to suit its members ‘needs.
Training for dedicated hunter status is offered on weekends, starting on Fridays at 18:00 to 20:30, Saturday and Sunday mornings; or on three consecutive weekday afternoons from 12:00 to 14:00. After completing the training course, members are required to complete a shooting test at the Sure Focus Shooting Range near Meyerton.
Training for dedicated sport shooter status is usually offered on a Saturday morning from 08:00 to 12:00. The course consists of a PowerPoint presentation followed by a written examination.
More detail about training for range officers will be offered soon. More detail will be sent to members.
The above training courses are offered in line with the Firearms Control Act (Act 60 of 2000). For more information regarding the various training courses offered by the Vaaldriehoek Branch, contact Eland Branch’s training officer to add your name to the waiting list.
Tak-skietdag vir seniors word op die eerste Saterdag van die maand by die Sure Focus-skietbaan in Meyerton gehou.
The branch shooting day for seniors is held on the first Saturday of the month at the Sure Focus shooting range in Meyerton.
MDS-skietdae word op die tweede en derde Saterdae van elke maand by die Alberton Sport skietklub aangebied.

MDS shooting days are held on the second and third Saturdays of each month at the Alberton Sport Shooting Club.
