Product details
Arguably formed in 1901, at the time it was "called into existence" by the Lord Mayor of London, the S.M.R.C. had its roots in two other civilian shooting associations, the most significant of which was the Society of Working Men's Rifle Clubs founded by Major General Charles E. Luard. Although local and County level rifle meetings were held previously, the first truly national "small-bore" meeting to be held in the country, at Crystal Palace in 1903, was, according to Ernest H. Robinson (Capt. - G.M. and, during the World War II period, Editor of the N.R.A. Journal), technically held under the auspices of the S.W.M.R.C., whilst the 1904 meeting, held at Olympia, was the responsibility of the S.M.R.C.
