BBS Airgun Gathering, September 6/7 --- Event and Payment Details

[T 20]

Well seeing how we're getting the hang of organising these events for you so we thought we'd move on to holding a weekend for all types of airgun.

THE EVENT


The BBS Airgun Gathering will be held on 6th/7th September 2014



This will just be a weekend of chatting about guns, shooting, eating, drinking and getting to meet folks.


THE PRICE


£20 including camping over the full weekend (3 nights or more if required)


Part of this payment is for me to insure on the field so that folks without their own shooting insurance can attend.



THE VENUE


Higham Fields Farm
Higham Fields Lane,
Higham on the hill,
Nuneaton,
Warwickshire.
CV13 6ET





HOW IT WORKS



As the payment system I sorted out with our very own Mr Jim Tyler (BTDT) --- Lord of the Springs, worked so well the last 2 times I'll do the same again this time.

1) Anybody who would like to attend simply sends a cheque for £20 made payable to M Furniss (me) to my work addressabove.
On the back of the cheque write your username, Forum, nearest postal town and the word "camping" if doing so.


2) I hang on to the cheques until we reach the minimum break even point for portaloos, insurance etc before banking them.


3) I will be scanning the cheques before banking them, so in the event of cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances, can bank transfer your money back into your account.


4) As cheques come in I will post your username/Forum/Postal town up on here with your cheques status ---received/Banked.





I have my local caterer mate, Krazy Kev booked for Friday, Saturday and Sunday to sell Burgers, Hot dogs, Pork and stuffing cobs, Tea and Coffee, plus, Horlicks, Ovaltine and Bengers for members from the Collectors section.

I will not be organising a licensed bar on site but as your cars will be accessible inside the site I suggest you bring your own.

For those camping I shall be building a bonfire again for the Saturday night.

Targets will be a load of Spinners, Bell targets and the Quigley Bucket out at 75 yards, and hopefully I'll be buying or building some more Knockdowns and making a few more spinners.




If there are any questions please ask on this thread and I will answer them here to save repetition.




Thank you once again to Jim






All the best Mick

[Captain Bongo]

[TonyL]

Excellent, Uncle Mick.

Be great to see all you folks again plus, hopefully, plenty of Gathering Newbies with PCPs, CO2 and pumpers.

It'll be a great weekend, see you all there!

[Blackrider]

Thanks Mick !
This weekend is tricky at the moment but I''ll see how it goes. Making it "all airgun" should bring in a good crowd !

John.

[CapitalBee]

Pre-warned my wife when this was floated. Game on. Cheque will be in the post shortly

Well John

There's one good thing about us having folks with PCPs here --- I won't have to build any more shooting benches as those boys reckon they can circumcise a fly at 75 yards taking a standing shot.




All the best Mick

You and JohnBaz coming then, or what?

[T 20]

Card and postal order will be organised tomorrow.......

I look forward to receiving another of your excellent hand crafted cards Steve --- you could put Moonpig out of business.

Don't worry if your name doesn't show on the cheque list straight away as I've decided not to start the list until after the first week.



All the best Mick

[TonyL]

I assume I'm okay to bump the thread by the time-honoured "BOING", although this is an all power-plants event!!

Pfffffft! Doesn't quite have the same ring........

Well Steve you outdid the card by miles when you sent me the back block I needed to fit a Rekord to my Feinwerkbau sport --- cheers mate I owe you big time.

Don't worry if your name doesn't show on the cheque list straight away as I've decided not to start the list until after the first week.

Well unfortunately I got a little bit waylaid last night so I must apologise for not starting the cheque list until tonight.

The reason I couldn't start the cheque list straight away was because I was on holiday last week so I thought I'd start it on my first night back home.

Unfortunately I found my right leg swollen up last night and ended up in hospital being prodded, poked and injected with rat poison as I was suspected of having Deep Vein Thrombosis.

After having a scan and getting the all clear today it's back to business as usual --- though I must admit I did enjoy the young Afro Carribean lady rubbing hot KY jelly into my groin and legs while carrying out the scan.



So the cheque list is now up and running

Wonky donky's payment is carried over from none attendance of the Boinger Bash and I really hope you'll be well enough to attend in September Dave.

So cheques received from Captain Bongo, Trumpetier and SLINGER69 --- so looking forward to seeing you back here, Steve, Dave and Gwyn.

Bugger! Posted mine at the weekend, so shocked that it's not arrived with you as yet.

No doubt it'll land through the letterbox tomorrow??????

Bloody hell, Mick. Scary!!

Glad you have the all clear matey.

Most of the nurses at our local resemble mongrel crosses of the cast from Prisoner Cell Block H and 85 year old Russian ex-shot putters, so you had a bit of a deal there!
