I went to Stoke Mandeville today..

[snock]

I can be there whenever anyone else is. My initial ETA was going to be around 2-3pm.

Pete.

Due to family commitments I cannot make this.

Sorry to miss it, but I really have to be as close to home as possible at the moment.

Please accept / pass on my very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all at DTSGB.

If by any chance I can sneak off I will!

[snock]

Bummer.
I appreciate why, though.

[nidge.pidge]

I am still trying to re-arrange everything to try and make the party!

Won't be staying over-night and might make it to DTSGB by around 7pm.

Fingers crossed!

[Steve Valentine]

Sorry folks but due to a massive change in circumstances I now cannot attend.

Gutted

[snock]

Aw crap.

Si, tell me you're going!!

[Vanpyre]

i am moving house soon so have to "lighten" the changeover, so i am selling off all my marine stuff, the bloke is coming from scotland to fetch my tank, it is going to take 6 of us to lift it so #i have to be around to help!!

All went well, mate. I arrived at about 4pm just before the fun shoot started. There was just enough time to say my hellos and buy a load of raffle tickets before we were bundled into the range next door for the pistol shoot. I won that, for getting the lowest score!! The vino and chocs dulled the pain of embarrassment, though.

Bill Sanders and Terry handed over 3 new target rifles from Air Arms. These were RN10 actions in laminated stocks, but with all the latest tech inside them. The sights were donated by RUAG. Rosie was very happy..

Both Terry and Bill were stunned at the amount of work done, and how the work has made a difference. Rikki told us that the BBC Oxford team have been charting the progress of the works, and he says that his mate on that team wants to air it.

More money came in from the NSRA - £512. Well done NSRA!!!

Cadburys have been round because they selected three paralympic sports to sponsor with their time and business acumen, and have promised to work with the DTSGB to raise their profile. More importantly, they supplied boxes of free choccy. Well done Cadburys.

Dinner was the ubiquitous Chinky or Indian.

There was a quiz, which our team: the ''How should I knows'', won. The prize? Nothing. The team with fewest points won the prize.

Then there was the ever-entertaining raffle. Most of us walked away with various prizes.

Next thing to do is to arrange the next works party.

[Steve Valentine]

What did ya win in the raffle pete?

[snock]

What did ya win in the raffle pete?

Good account of the shoot/party Snock but the £512 came from Countryman Fairs (not NSRA) they sold pin badges on our behalf at the game fairs this year so thanks must go to them. We have hidden the chocolate so it's safe for the next work party!! Have a great Christmas everyone and hope to see you all again next year.
Rosie

[snock]

My mistake, then.
Thanks to both Ian Harford and all at Countryman Fairs, and to all involved in raising cash or their time for this most worthy cause.

Pete.
