    Bean-spillage ahoy, chaps!

    I'm absolutely delighted to announce that, at yesterday's meeting with the Airgun Manufacturer's and Traders Association, it was unanimously agreed that a sum of £15,000 would be donated to the appeal. This is designed to kick-start the refurbishing programme as soon as the estimates are in.

    Furthermore, the organisors of the Midland Game Fair immediately pledged a further £1000, plus a whole range of fundraising options which are incredibly promising.

    So, that's £16k in the kitty, plus the kind donations already received, which means we'll soon be making noise and replacing stuff. Lobberman is getting the estimate for the roof on Wednesday, after which it's all systems go.

    Keep doing what you're doing, chaps, because, as the young scamps on the streets would have it - you are well-good!

    I will be taking the AirgunBBS collection total that I collected at the Anston shoot and the donation from a couple of individuals and Kibworth too, to the bank and paying it in on Monday. I don't think I will be able to get much more out of the shooters up here. I will post a picture of the reciept on here.

    regards
    Great news, Andy! Your efforts, and those of the poor folks you bullied , are fully appreciated, mate.

    Well-done all!

    Brilliant news that is Terry, well done matey!

    PS: After a 'phone call to the BASC press office, they have just told me that there will be an article on this in the next Shooting and Conservation magazine.
