The annual meeting of the Bergschützen Walting, a local shooting club based in Walting, was held at the Gasthaus Rädlinger-Lorenz on Sunday evening. The gathering saw the attendance of key figures, including Mayor Daniel Paul, Alfons Gruber serving as shooting master, and Alfons Gruber senior, who attended as an honorary member.
The meeting, which also included elections, was marked by a moment of silence to remember the club's rich history and the shooting activities that have ceased several years ago.
In his report, the club chairman addressed the challenges the Bergschützen Walting has been facing in recruiting young members. Traditional strategies for recruiting young members in shooting or sports clubs often involve organising open days or trial sessions, collaborating with local schools or youth organisations, offering introductory courses, promoting club activities through social media and community events, and providing a welcoming environment with mentorship from experienced members.
