No Problem Steve - there never has been a fee for practicing at home - and I am sure nobody has ever considered you to be "tight"
Ten pounds is a lot of money when you have lost your pants, but with no range fees or traveling costs involved it can even appeal to those that are strapped for cash.
This will be a good national competition (like NARPA) with entrants from all over the UK that will find the best 6 yard air pistol shooter in the UK -as well as giving the rest of us "not so goods" an interesting competition that does not have to take up any club time - but it will produce a British Champion at the end of the series and will provide good value for money (wait and see).
