Diepholz Shooting Clubs Finalize 2026 Plans With Elections, Honors and Higher Dues

The decisions highlight financial pressure on volunteer clubs to maintain shooting facilities.

Overview

  • At Brockum, longtime treasurer Thomas Uhe stepped down after about 21 years, Tobias Klein was elected treasurer, Uhe moved to deputy, and a new youth team under Thorsten Klanke took over as the club plans a hall insulation upgrade.
  • Scholen appointed successors including Julian Gönnemann as deputy shooting warden, elevated Kerstin Westermann to women’s spokesperson with Charlotte Schmidt as deputy, and set its Schützenfest for June 13–14.
  • Affinghausen members approved a contribution increase to cover rising costs and an air‑rifle range renovation, confirmed several board positions, and scheduled their Schützenfest for July 25–26.
  • Wehrbleck named Melanie Lück and Udo Harms as Vereinsmeister and fixed its festival for August 8–9, with practice sessions resuming in April.
  • Across the clubs, long‑serving volunteers were honored, new officeholders were confirmed, and full 2026 calendars were published with king‑shooting dates and other community events.
