What can I say to that. The determination and courage shown by them is as humbling as the obvious lack of support and resources is sickening.
Some of us are very, very fortunate, and sadly, we seldom realise it.

Thanks for the responses, guys, and I'll post a contact as soon as I've sorted something out with the fundraisers. Should be tomorrow, I hope.
This BBS has in the past shown its strength when fundraising and supporting various things in the past, I would echo the question asked earlier, what can I do to help?
Also what can we as a group do, if support is forthcoming?
"Improvise, adapt and overcome."
I can count to potato.
A good cause for a lottery grant if ever there was one !
I'm up for making a donation as I'm sure a lot on here would be if some one can sort it ?
I'm sure having you on board now Terry will help there cause !
cheers

I think so too, Andy. When we act as a unit, we're pretty to watch.
We need to set up some fund raising for this, asap. What can I do to help?
Break your backs and crack your oars men! If you wish to prevail.
I think that on this site we probably have a couple of brickies, a few plumbers a leccy or two maybe even a couple of chippiesand two or more plasterers.
Pretty sure we even have an architect somewhere, and a lawyer.
Wonder what we might be able to do with all these fine upstanding people and some funding.... BTW I'm already volunteering as a wood butcher/demolitionist.
PS wood from up here is a damn sight cheaper than wood from the south n'all.
All we need is a form of transport, some willing hands, a solid plan and some funds behind us.
I had a long conversation with John Cooper of Falcon airguns about this,last year.He was hoping to get a side shoot running at the Ukahft events-a computerised knockover course,against the clock,all proceeds going to Stoke.Have you spoken to John recently?
I am sure that I speak for the other Southern Hunter organisers,when I say that we would be honoured to run a side shoot at the next series-all proceeds going to this worthy cause.
Let me know what you think,Terry.
All the best,
Graham
I'm happy to pitch in with a pair of hands, a set of tools, a van and a spare seat for another volunteer.

If I was to donate a case of 12 cans of moly dry-lube, is there an event that they could be sold at? Since I live in Devon, I guess I'd have to get them shipped to someone who'd be willing to take them along on the day. Any volunteers?
OK Guys,
I am a sparks, or used to be and can generally do whatevr put my hand to as far as construction.
I am willing to donate some time and get together with others from here
to go and do the Auf Weidersien bit to help out these fellow less able bodied
shooters.
With the numbers of guys on here, I am sure we can provide them with
a decent shooting range, cabin etc.
Anyone else up for it?
Neal
I'm back.
so nice to read all of the remarks made.please remember we are all the same within. accidents happen and your life can be changed forever. people often do not look at us in the eye they pretend we are not there.
i hope some notice can be made cheers ron
Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
I'd like to help if poss - I guess this would mainly be 'monetarily'
Can we set anything up (paypal) on here?
I have a mate who has been paralysed from the shoulders down since he was 18 (car accident), which was now 17 years ago. He spent a lot of time at SMH.
He's hopeful that stem-cell advances will eventually help him (even if he gets his arms/hands, his life would improve no end), so we'll wait and see.
In short, I know what life can be like for SMH's 'residents' and if shooting there needs some funding, I'd be happy to make a donation.
