Trafalgar Meeting

About

The origins of the Trafalgar Meeting date back to 1985 when the South London Rifle Club, with the support of Guns Review, introduced the inaugural Annual Open Meeting for Historic Arms. The name was later changed to The Trafalgar Meeting and taken on by the NRA.

There are a multitude of events on offer, defined by the type of firearm ‘In The Spirit of the Original’.
