8 Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. Attendance FAQs When do I need to complete my attendances? The SSAA NSW attendance year has been assigned by the NSW Firearms Registry as the 12-month period between the 1 April and the 31 March. Members need to fulfil their attendance requirements during this 12-month period. Where can I complete my range attendances? Your range attendance requirements can be fulfilled at any NSW Firearms Registry Approved Range. When a member attends a SSAA range to complete their attendance requirements, a SSAA NSW Attendance Book will be supplied at the range to record your attendance. It is important that members complete the attendance receipt clearly and correctly, if a membership number is incorrect or absent the attendance will not be registered. Wherever an attendance is completed, it is important that members always retain their attendance receipts as proof of attendance. I have completed my attendances at another approved club, do I need to notify the SSAA of this? Yes, if a member completes an attendance at a non-SSAA range, they must forward a copy of the attendance receipt or a letter from the club stating they have attended to the SSAA NSW Office. This attendance can then be included in their attendance count. The SSAA NSW Office sent out a courtesy reminder letter to remind members of their obligations and that they have until 31 March 2015 to complete their attendances. The information used to compile this letter is based on the Attendance Book data submitted to the SSAA NSW Office by Branches and Clubs using the books and may have since been updated. Members using their membership of SSAA to satisfy their genuine reason are required to complete mandatory range attendances. This is a legal requirement for Firearms Licence holders set out in the Firearms Regulation 2006. It's not a SSAA requirement. However, SSAA NSW is required by law to report those members who do not complete their required attendances to the NSW Firearms Registry. If you have any questions at all about attendances, your membership activities and your obligations, please contact the SSAA NSW Office by phone on 02 8889 0400 or email at attendances@ssaa.nsw.ssaa.org.
