    I'll ask Dad (Ian) too.

    You and Ian can ponce all you want, but that ringer son of yours is gonna have to pay after last time.

    Just kidding, can't wait to enjoy the Badger family's company again!

    Hi guys

    i hope to come, but won't know until a week or so before - if thats not too late???

    My parents are away, and my partner is Granny & house sitting for the week. So that leaves me at home with the menagerie!

    If my lovely next door neighbour is about I know she will look after things, but she won't know this far in advance.

    Sadly, even if I do make it I will have to drive there and back in one day (2.5 hrs each way) but better than nothing. Shame as I have 2 friends in Rugby who would have put me up.

    Will let you know. But also understand if you are 'full' and I'm too late. I'm sure there will be another one during the summer (well I hope so).

    Hi Linnet.

    We will never be too full, the Greyhound is a big place, also if there is more numbers coming than before, I can always make another 5 lane target holder .

    So you can play it by ear, & if you are able to come just let me know even if it's a day before the shoot.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Lynne,
    We dont do full
    The Greyhound is quite a large place, and its sheltered, just in case it rains! Last year I reckon we used about 1/4 th of the range facilities and we had a good amount turn up

    Look forward to meeting you

    Ok guy's and gal's, it makes life a lot easier for Paddy if you let us know that you are coming. But if you have a last minute urge to come to the meet you can turn up on the day, pay and shoot.

    If your not a member and you want to come not a problem just sent an e-mail to membership@umarexboysclub.co.uk and i'll sort it out, if you turn up on the day and your not a member, no problem we will sort it out there and then.

    So your not left with a lot of excuses not to come.
    see you there.

    Cookie
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Yes, Andy, whatever DID happen with RAPE? Did it ever move beyond an idea?

    Who's staying where?

    Has anyone decided on a B&B or hotel there in Coventry? Or does anyone have any recommendations for one?

    It'd be fun to have a UBC group at one of the lodging places.

    Air pistol purchase?

    Jan and I decided against bringing our air pistols, figuring it might cause a hassle at customs.

    The day before we're at Coventry, we'll be at Stratford-upon-Avon, and there's a gun shop there called "Guns & Sports" that I wanted to check out last May: but we were there on a Sunday and they were closed

    I'm going to contact the shop about this: but offhand, does anyone foresee a problem with me being able to buy an air pistol there?

    I'd rather get a new inexpensive pistol there, even if I couldn't take it home, than lose my Smith: which I have sighted in just the way I want.
