    A great big thank you to all concerned in the planning, organisation and execution of one of the most fun days of the year.

    Thoroughly enjoyed myself, really must get a pistol for Matt to practise with!

    His trophies and badges are resplendent at my place, and he's recovered enough to go off to a party, so I expect he'll post here tomorrow when he finally surfaces again.

    Nice to see so many familiar faces, and to meet a few new ones.
    Especially good to put names to faces a bit more.

    Thanks once again for a cracking day.

    Richard.

    Thank you Paul, Garry & Richard.


    Today turned out really well, just seemed to flow. Even though the weather was rather wet, I don't think it dampened our spirits.

    Like to say thank you to Nick (Magicniner) for taking on the Pulley system for the target holder. It made the shoot safer & better flowing.

    Thanks to Mike for again staging the IPAS shoot.

    Mrs MikeB for having theTarget Holders ready for the shooters. Once again that helped with the flow

    Thanks to the U.B.C Committee Jason, Jim,Mike, Tony for helping out today

    Thanks to all at the Greyhound for letting us have ALL of there plinking range to our selves

    Thanks to Brian who represented Webley & bringing down the new Alecto pistols

    Thanks to everyone who turned up, helped & there nice comments

    & to my family Helen, Sloan, Sinead & Sapphire, for doing the food, admin & just being there.


    There is already talk of the next one & what we can do next

    I'll definetly have my Speed Memory Shoot Competition there next time & thanks for the good feedback from it as it was the first time I ever used it.

    Sorry for sound like an oscar speech, just giving credit where's credits due.

    Kind regards
    Paddy.

    It was wonderful to meet you all in person I had the most fantastic time.

    Huge thanks to everyone who let me try their pistols It was good that I finally learned what my pistol was meant for and actually really enjoyed shoot it.

    Big hugs for Helen and the kids for all their hard work. Nick for his ingenuity with the target pulley system and morning waffles. Paddy - loved your memory shooting. Mike - your ding dong thingy was great fun. Mark - for his cooker - mmmmm morning coffee and fry up today.

    Brian from Webley - please can I have 0000069 and can you pass on my thanks to all at Webley for letting us have a go with the pistols and rifle. I'll be phoning you on 30 Nov

    Oh and one more thing.....

    Did anyone happen to notice that I came 2nd in the PCP and beat Cookie with his own LP10

    Thank you to everyone for making it such a great weekend

    That was a great day, thank you to all the organisers, contributors & helpers

    The array of pistols to see and try was, quite frankly, overwhelming

    All of the competitions were good fun, IPAS and Paddy's memory shoot suited me and my pistol best, but I enjoyed it all and will be back for the next one.

    The company was fantastic and, despite a bit of rain, the camping was good too.

    See you all again next time

    Cheers, Mark

    A big thank you to everyone who helped pull this together but especially to the Egan family for food and organisation and to Nick (magicniner) for the superb target pulleys which worked flawlessly.

    Cheryl and I had a great time once more. Cheryl's improved a lot with her aim for someone who hasn't picked up a gun since the last meet!

    Well what can i say, our 3rd meet was another amazing success, they really do get better with each one.

    I would like to thank everyone who turned up and made it a fantastic day.

    With special thanks to the one and only Paddy for organizing another wonderful event, to his lovely wife Helen for the great spread she put out and for the Wonderful Cake she had made to celebrate our 3rd Meet, and not forgetting Sloan, Sinead and my own little cuddle monster for the day Sapphire for all their help.

    Nick a big thanks to you fella for the new target range and pulley system, it was a really god send on the day and stopped Paddy and myself getting wet changing targets

    Another thanks to Mike Ewok for bring along his IPAS kit along, as always this drew a big crowd.

    Thanks to Brian for coming along with the New Webley Alecto Pistols and rifles, These new pistols are great, they tick all the right boxes, i'm sure we will put up a separate post on these new pistols so the guy's and gays can post there views. Brian i would love to see some more of your work fella

    Not forgetting Mark for making it possible for us to have a video chat with our friends Jim & Jan in New Orleans.

    And my final Thanks goes to Dave for being good enough to let us use the Greyhound Club for our event again.

    It really was a great day despite the rain, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and as always there were a lot of smiles on faces. it was really good to see a lot of new faces, and if i never got a chance to have a chat and welcome you I'm sorry.

    And for those of you that didn't know i was beaten by Clare with my own pistol. Congratulations Clare i'm really please coaching helped you come away with an award, even if it was with my pistol.

    Just like to add my thanks to Paddy and family, Nick and Ewok for all their efforts, I didn't stop grinning till Sunday lunchtime apparently.
    Let's also not forget Cookie, who started all this off in the first place by forming the UBC, nice one Jason.
    Can't wait til the next one.
