    All the moderators have been absolutely brilliant in my time as a member of the bbs, i can understand why your stepping down but from a selfish point of view it's a shame to lose someone as fair and level minded as yourself...

    Happy Retirement Gareth!
    I know how difficult it can be to be a mod sometimes!
    Have a well earned rest!

    All the best

    Many thanks for your hard work and substantial input to this forum. Don't know how you mods find the time to do all that you do.

    Just want to add my thanks to this growing list of testimonials. Without the mods this place would not be the great place it is

    Anyone who's ever met the big man or had the pleasure of doing business with him will know what an all round great guy and gentleman he is.

    Well done for all your efforts-does this mean that you can start sarcastic threads moaning about the Moderators not responding to an enquiry within five minutes of posting a problem?

    Seriously, I hope you enjoy your retirement from the madhouse G.

    Many thanks to you and ALL the other lads that put the graft into keeping what is by far, THE best shooting forum in the known Universe
    Never go off half cocked....

    Welcome back

    Cheers Lakey, am 'poaching' that fact from you as the theme for my post-mod signature.
