    Chance to see some really rare Airguns at Melbourne 22/08/13

    Hi Everyone, On Thursday the 22nd of August,we have a collector visiting with some really rare airguns to ogle/handle...there will be some airguns you have never seen before..cheeky banter,belltarget shooting & sarnies at half time..club membership is pegged at £7.50 till Dec...which would enable you to come to the annual BBQ too at the end of August (which will be a full day of shooting various disciplines and fun shoots plus bangers and burgers)...worth that amount for just one days entertainment...


    Why don't you come down to a warm and friendly club and have a look

    Would the collector be someone by the name of 'Paul'? If so he's a mate of mine, and a fine upstanding chap with a superb rifle collection.

    22 August

    I don't know his name yet. Chris has been the contact but it sounds as though it should be a good night and quite a few of the collectors in the club are really looking forward to this. We will take a few photos if our guest is happy with this. Refreshments at 9pm as usual.

    My car has broken down and my best collecting buddy is visiting the USA...

    I am sorry that I will miss this one. It sounds like a great evening. Best wishes to all who attend.
