    No Boingers out today Tony, we are thinking of having a double header later in the year, PCP in the morning, Springer in the afternoon, butties in between. I have just the PCP for you if you dare to touch one.
    It was our first attempt at setting a course out today, due to Martin retiring from the job & we did not make it tough enough, having no wind made life easy too.
    Some high scores were had by all ,but I pipped em to the post by clearing it

    Too easy? Nah, that'd suit me, with basically ZERO long range action in recent years!

    And well done on your achievement!

    I have been known to have the odd very brief shot with a PCP but Dinosaurus Tone will probably always stick with a good old fashioned Boinger!

    I won't be able to make tonight; sorry. Things have gone a little pear-shaped at home.

    Aiming at next Wednesday.

    No worries Tony, I got there about 3.0clock & spent 3 hrs mowing, not the best of conditions but it needed doing. Several adjustsments were made to the course & a few of us went round.
    Maybe see you next week.

    Yep, barring no home disasters, I'll be there!

    Sounds like you've had a busy day of it. Did it not rain all day over there?

    We're on!!

    Hi Nick and the gang.

    We're on for tonight!

    Bit of a military planning job....at the hospital at 3.30, get the dog taken out for an early walk, get the Mrs and bin lids in the Vito and drop them off at the Odeon in Lincoln, then onto the club.

    Really looking forward to it...see you all there.

    Marvellous!

    Don't see you for a year and then we meet up twice in three days!

    Be magic to see you there if you can make it, Neil.

    What a fantastic evening, thank you chaps......

    Spoiled only be me arriving late due to horrendous traffic because of an accident clogging the roads up.

    Lovely setting, very picturesque. Undulating terrain, trees etc. a lovely warm, still evening.

    Baby rabbits were hanging about on the shooting lanes!

    Nice gang of people, very welcoming. Very impressive facilities.

    And a big thank you to both Nick and Mark for escorting me around the mega-impressive HFT course. Maybe with some semblance of a proper zero, I'll hit a few more next time!

    For anyone living within reasonable travelling distance, and teetering over whether or not to visit/join, I'd strongly recommend giving it a go.

    Thank you everyone for making me feel welcome, and especially Nick and Mark.

    Very nice pair of springers, by the way, the Wonky 80 and Dave Hall 98!

    Enjoyed you're company Tony.
    Don't worry about altering zero though Tony as you hit plenty considering you sat down for most shots FT style!!
    Look forward to you're next visit and should have altered the course by then so will give a bit more variety?
