    Can't have everything I suppose..
    Yes, it was good to see some of the old gang and listen to Bob (ZOOMA) and John (with Black Bess) talking about the benefits of being an O.A.P.

    There are no benefits..apart from going a little deaf - that can come in handy sometimes!

    We also spoke about your gender change - you seemed quite disappointed with the result - but you did admit to shooting a Webley air pistol so I guess some progress was made

    The sex change was no problem although the scaffolding took longer than the doctors thought. The hard bit was having my brain halved and I will really miss the ability to drive.

    Yes, I did once shoot a Wobbly but I did wear gloves.

    Please don't park too close to my car the next time you visit, but we will help you put the targets up to save you stretching up so high in such an undignified way and taking so long to co-ordinate them all in such a lovely arrangement.

    The Webley gloves look very fetching but silver silk with embroidered flowers and sequins are not too hard wearing and could scratch the lovely Brummie finish.

    Do we still call you IJ or Ingrid ?

    Hi, recently moved to Rossendale and not shot an air rifle in years. Does the club have any rifles they hire out to new visitors?
    I killed a squirrel

    We do not hire out any air rifles or air pistols but we can lend you one to use.

    We only shoot .177 match air rifles and air pistols as we are a target club and we are not able to accept the use of .22, BB or sporting air rifles.

    We have a 6 ft lb power limit and this more than covers any match air rifle or air pistol that are easily inside this limit.

    The club is based around match air pistols but more recently we have seen a growing interest in target air rifle shooting - something we are very happy to accommodate .

    Ingrid won't be there - she's gone North of the border to vote "NO" ; yes has never been in Ingrid's vocabulary, especially when asked to buy jackets for the Rivi HFT team
    Nowhere to go ........in no hurry to get there; www.rivington-riflemen.uk----- well I suppose it is somewhere to go.... founded by I.J. - let down by the tainted blood scandal

    Well that was a wasted journey then - you have no morals to support

    ....and it made no difference either
