    Thank you very much.

    We are still in the early stages,but would like people to pop along and have a look. The club is just 3 minutes from Junction 20 M62. Just look for the large Tesco and we are on Silk Street across from the Tesco garage.

    We are also easy to reach by public transport. If any one would like details of public transport just let me know.

    Kind Regards,
    Glen.

    Good luck Glen with this new venture. The more clubs the merrier.

    I shall pop over for a brew and a chat - as long as you dont come out with those jokes of yours. I still remember you telling me Dubai doesn't have a Fred Flinston Fan club but Abu Dhabi do!

    You will always be welcome,Ian. Just knock on the door because I'm not sure you would reach the lock to let yourself in

    I don't run the club,all members will run it. It's just a group of like-minded people getting together and enjoying a passion. For some of us it's the only passion we get in life

    Kind Regards,
    Glen.

    I believe they have a cat flap, so access should be unrestricted!

    Kind regards,

    Our first full night last night at North Manchester Target Club went very well indeed with plenty of old and new faces turning up to have a shoot. Although the weather was really bad we had a good turn out. Perhaps it was the free brews and Jaffa cakes that did it,bloody gannets.

    It was good to see democracy in action with everyone doing their share of work with setting up and clearing away.

    I thought a good time was had by all in the relaxed and chilled out atmosphere.


    BTW we have also set up a lane for the vertically challenged

    If anyone would like to pop along and have a look you would be made very welcome. Just have a look at the new website for details www.nmtc.co.uk

    Kind Regards,
    Glen.

    Good. If I know anyone that fits that criteria I will let them know.

    What is the range/membership fees?
    Is there a reduction for Morris Minor owners?

    I doubt you'd be recognised with your balaclava and dark glasses disguise, so they wouldn't let you in.

    Dressing up as a cub scout wouldn't get you in either, though you might have a chance if you turned up as a guide.

    Kind regards,

    Ian,if you are coming over in the Moggy I have a BNIB cushion that would certainly help you see over the steering wheel
    John also mentioned a small trampoline which may help.

    Kind Regards,
    Glen.

    When driving Gloria (the cabbage) I. J.'s disguise consists of a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches complemented by the ubiquitous flat cap favoured by whippet owners.

    HTH

    Mock yeah may! But I have now purchased a tweed coat (sans elbow patches), a flat cap and I have been known to whippet out.
    I may don this garb when I bring Gloria (T.C.) up to Rivis indoor range on Glorias 60th birthday on 2nd March.
