Hi, Mike

Information at http://www.scrapclub.org.uk/.

Best night for new visitors to attend is Tuesday (20yard rimfire and air) or Friday (10m air). You can bring a suitable gun if you have one or you can use club guns. Only £2.00a visit and you get several visits to try the club out before being asked for membership fee. I need to add that applicants for membership will have to show photo ID, pay an application fee, provide a reference and be approved by the committee. However, any shooter who follows basic safety rules, fills in the application form honestly and shows a heklpful attitude in running the range will always be welcomed.

Is the fayre for second hand stuff only, or can a non RFD sell new items they make themselves?

Thanks
Garry

That will not be a problem so long as the item is legal in the UK and does not require an FAC or SGC. For instance, some members make things like walking sticks or hunting knifes. Such items would be very welcome and might sell well to visitors. PM me if you need to discuss and want to book a table.

Visitors to the Airgun Fayre can be reassured that free cashpoints are only 10 minutes walk away.

Hiring a half table also gives you free entry to the Fayre (normal cost £3.00) so half-table hire effectively works out at only £7.00. Hiring a full table for £20 gets you two free entries to the Fayre so a full-table effectively works out at just £14.00.

Plus sellers get to park right by the range and to get into the Fayre before the public. I will ask sellers for a cheque or postal order payable to " SCRAP Club" soon. I will also post them details of the Fayre location, times, and the size of the table. There will also be room under the table to place a couple of boxes of bits-n-bobs to sell plus wall space behind to prop some rifles. The club will provide you with a chair or two.

Just decided to add my BSA 635 Magnum .25 Cal. for sale !

All tables are now booked. However, we can put anyone such as mikemjm who might want a table at short notice on the waiting list to be allocated a table in the event of a late cancellation. Just PM your phone number to me if you want us to contact you in the event of a last minute cancellation.

BSA Magnum .25 sounds very interesting, Blackrider. Should go well I would think.

Will all visitors and sellers please note that they should be careful at all times when handling airguns and treat them as loaded until you have opened the breech and checked. We have a club rule that anyone who puts a hole in the wall, ceiling or floor will have to buy drinks all round. That could be an expensive mistake so please be careful everyone.

It's black tie, and you can bring whoever you want, Robin.

I'm bringing SPIDERMAN!
Its not that he has any super human powers - its just that he struggles getting out of the bath.
