"Free rifle combo" Paypal acct now active

[ChrisC]

Some of you may already be aware of the thread that Dave (Kingplinker...me) and i have been running about trying to get the BBS members to donate unwanted bits of kit, the donated items are then used or sold and the money put towards buying a combo(AAs200 & scope). The first combo was donated to Springfield ARC at the HFT shoot at Shepreth(many thanks to all who donated):) :) , and the following 3 combo's went to young shooters who(along with their dads) are now starting to attend the UKAHFT shoots...so result

As a result of tons of feedback from the lads on here, we decided to set up a Paypal account with the email addy combo@airgunbbsmail.co.uk
The idea being that there are approx 9000 members on here, if each popped 1 pound into the paypal account.....well work it out, and i'm sure most people wouldn't miss a quid. The funds from the account will be used to purchase kit from JSR, so its a win for a Young newbie, this sites host and a nice warm feeling for all the BBS members.:D ...and again, we will try to hand over a combo at the next UKAHFT shoot.

Any people out there that don't have access to paypal, but would like to help then please drop me a PM

The account will be monitored by myself & Dave, I'm sure you all know by now that this is genuine.:)

Chris & Dave.

Would just like to add that Stuart is a top bloke to deal with:)

[Kingplinker]

Just a quick thanks too for the recent airgun bits donated by members of the bbs . It really is very much appreciated . :)

When the items come up for sale the post will be clearly marked as gear that has been donated . As Chris says , some of the bits will be used but others will be sold to raise cash for the combo's . Once again , thank you !

[ChrisC]

;) Many thanks....

We're not going to mention names or post a list of people who donated because if people want anonymity , then no probs

I have noticed that one or two chaps have put in a little bit more than the suggested 1 pound..........you know who you are:) :) :) :) :)

We really should make more of an effort to get the BBS members together for a shoot/social meet....there's so many guys on here that i'd like shake by the hand........ooooh, stop, no i'm not crying, i've got something in my eye

[Kingplinker]

Excellent stuff indeed , you should be proud of yourselves !

Dave

[Geordie]

Just be sure to put "free combo" or similar in the "subject" box - NOT any references to Airguns, or they'll likely freeze the account due to draconian policies :rolleyes:

[u.k.neil]

Don't know if it's a coincidence, but after sending my donation I received my first spoof PayPal e-mail for a long while.

Just be careful Guys, never follow links in e-mails that pretend to come from PayPal or the auction site that must not be mentioned.

Be safe...........

Great idea and well done -- a tenner is winging its way to the account.

[Kerplunk]

I have just made a donation of £10 on behalf of zooankski.
Marc was not only an excellent bloke to deal with during the sale of my AA S200, but, when I realised that I actually needed the hose and bottle connector that I had let him have with the gun in order to fill my new cylinder, he let me have it back no problem.
So, top man, and I am glad to help out a worthy cause in his name.

[zooankski]

Very good of you colin-thanks

[Rob Laidlaw]

Hi all,

After being away from airgunning for more years than I care to remember I decided to get back into it a few months ago and popped along to the Southampton Buccaneers Club to find out how much things had changed, my last rifle was a Theoben Scirrocco, and boy have they changed, after much help and debate I decided to start off with an AA 410K thumbhole in .177 for target and a TDR for sorting out the rats that fancy a drink out of my pond at the bottom of my garden.

Knowing what it's like for youngsters starting out without money or decent kit I am always more than willing to help out where I can and my donation is on it's way, I think this is a superb idea and the organisers should be aplauded, hopefully one of these youngsters will become a future champion and represent our country one day.

Rob.

[ChrisC]

Nicely put Rob:)

[Lesw]

Just placed a fiver in the Paypal account. What a great start for a youngster at the cost of an average tin of pellets.:D :D :D

Having been a member for only a short while I am very impressed with how informative, helpful and very friendly all the members I have been in contact with are.

I am a member of a few forums through various hobbies and must say this is one with the least amount of bitching.

I have made a small donation, hope it helps your cause.

Happy shooting.

many thanks

Paddy

This is a fantastic idea, particularly if everyone on the board signs up to the idea. I'll certainly be donating by close of play today - might even be able to afford a few donations...!!

[ChrisC]

Well done and thanks:D

[Muddy Funker]

Great Idea.

I've sent one of my hard earned nuggets for the next combo :)

All the best.

Lottery Grants and such are a great idea.
I was recently involved in getting a sports grant for my daughters sports club so that they could go to Germany.
Was a bit of a nightmare getting it sorted as had to make sure that the organisations Constitution and child protection policy was up to date and had to have a child protection officer in place.:confused::confused:
Not sure how this would work with the Combo fund but maybe could do something through UKAHFT?

Nice one fellas. Have a couple of quid on me.

I think this needs to be here, from Clifftop:

It gives me great pleasure to confirm that (once all payments have been received) there will be a donation of approximately £150 to Chris Cundey's juniors fund as a result of the AirgunBBS badge order.

I'd like to thank everyone who has paid for a badge, well done you all.

For those who were too late to order or were not able to confirm their order, I will be doing this again in the New Year.:cool::)

Cliff.

Top Job and brilliant news Cliff, thanks to everyone who has ordered badges

Do a search for previous combo winners. The next combo will try to coincide will the start of the HFT season.....and i will post in a few weeks for names.

Many thanks for all the efforts:)

Some of you may already be aware of the thread that Dave (Kingplinker...me) and i have been running about trying to get the BBS members to donate unwanted bits of kit, the donated items are then used or sold and the money put towards buying a combo(AAs200 & scope). The first combo was donated to Springfield ARC at the HFT shoot at Shepreth(many thanks to all who donated):) :) , and the following 3 combo's went to young shooters who(along with their dads) are now starting to attend the UKAHFT shoots...so result

As a result of tons of feedback from the lads on here, we decided to set up a Paypal account with the email addy combo@airgunbbsmail.co.uk
The idea being that there are approx 9000 members on here, if each popped 1 pound into the paypal account.....well work it out, and i'm sure most people wouldn't miss a quid. The funds from the account will be used to purchase kit from JSR, so its a win for a Young newbie, this sites host and a nice warm feeling for all the BBS members.:D ...and again, we will try to hand over a combo at the next UKAHFT shoot.

Any people out there that don't have access to paypal, but would like to help then please drop me a PM

The account will be monitored by myself & Dave, I'm sure you all know by now that this is genuine.:)

Chris & Dave.
