OUR ATA DELEGATE PAUL SHAW

Greetings trapshooters. I am your ATA delegate. As such, here are some of the things for which I am either responsible for or play a role. A “delegate” is very similar in many respects to a “director” of a corporation. The corporation in this context is the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) and delegates from States and Provinces meet (at least) once a year at our AGM to deal with ATA business.

An Executive Committee is selected from among the delegates to manage ATA business throughout the year. As your delegate I advocate on issues that I believe would be best for our sport, the ATA and of course, Ontario shooters.

Ontario is within the Eastern Zone and our zone has historically had a significant amount of influence on ATA affairs and is, I believe, the zone with the greatest number of registered trapshooters. On your behalf I attend Eastern Zone meetings and provide Ontario’s input.

I also attempt to share important information on a timely basis with the OPTA board. While your OPTA Board and my office have separate and distinct roles, we have a good working relationship. Together, we attempt to serve the best interests of the shooters of the province.

And now for the bad news - it is also part of my mandate to see to the enforcement of ATA rules that come within my jurisdiction.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself to me if we are at the same shoot. There are hundreds of shooters in our province and while I know or know of a great many I don’t know you all and would enjoy having a chat with you.

I will attempt to provide interesting and informative information for you from time to time on this website and hopefully details about the Delegate Team and Category Delegate Team races.

I can be reached at Paul Shaw, by phone at 705-445-1382 (office)
or 705-445-6230 (home) or by fax at 705-445-7042.
