Hi Ian.

I'll be there.

I think you got all things covered as well as a roof

Like the idea of the strip/maintenance. I could do with a 'how to zero' properly

With the comps how about some winners badges. Back in the 70's/80's everyone had to have a badge of some sort

No doubt there will be some better suggestions from other members

Regards
Paddy.

That sounds superb, and if I can get a shiny badge too, yes, as I have enough notice to plan child care help for the Mrs, I too would like to say that I will be there. So notwithstanding domestic trauma (such as the wife finding out in truth how much I have actually spent on collectable air guns ), I will be there bright and breezy at the start of play for the day. Ian me 'ol mucka, yhpm . Atvb: Gareth W-B

Nope, got hate mail from the bank today so I'm out the running as am scuppered for the petrol for the 600 mile round trip to attend . Hope you all have a wonderful weekend without me, and hope the duck of doom I was to win goes to a good home (Pad.E ). Atb: G.

Is this a challenge My good Fellow!! By the way you are sounding off, it mighty looks like it is!!

& by what means shall we take this challenge on? As it being in the collectors section, we shall do this in a gentlemans way .


I said it before & I'll say it again 'THAT DUCK IS MINE!!!' , I'm quite professional when comes to matters like these
