Welcome to the first VMGCRA Newsletter
To help people keep up to date with what we're doing and to keep in touch with our members, patrons, and other supporters, this is the start of a regular newsletter, which will probably be monthly.
Over the next few months, we will introduce you to our Committee, and let you know what we've been up to in the previous few weeks and what's planned for the next few. Hopefully, this will make it easier to get involved.

Why a newsletter?
We maintain a presence across a lot of social media and other platforms (all of which can be found through vickersmg.org). Sometimes there are slightly different messages on each of those and it can be difficult to maintain consistency and make sure everyone is seeing everything. On some, we even have multiple groups to try and provide different information to different audiences. With all this, we're subject to the policies, and sometimes whims, of the platform. A regular newsletter to our known audience should get over these problems.

Royal Armouries Historical Firearms Event
On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 March, we supported the Royal Armouries' Historical Firearms weekend. This incuded a blank firing demonstration of the Vickers, Bren and Lee-Enfield rifles. It was well-received and we met hundreds of interested people. We'll be sharing a video of the event on our YouTube channel soon.
