I personally think that the monthly comp works well in its current format: it's easy for people to enter and shoot with the minimum of preparation and expense, and I'd therefore like to see it kept that way in order that we continue to attract as many participants as possible.
However, I like your idea about a paid entry system with trophies and prizes, and I think that this could be incorporated into each end of season, in a similar format to the meet in Coventry arranged for the 25th. Of course, not everyone is going to turn up no matter where it's held, so it always has to be a standalone end of season jolly.
Perhaps the trophies could be offered to the overall winners of each category for a particular season, and it would be up to them to decide whether or not to pay for the trophy, which could either be presented at an awards ceremony at the end of season jolly or posted to the winner.
What do you think?
