Melbourne Airgun Collector's Fair

[18 Wheeler]

Put me down for a table, please.
ATVB, Mick

Consider it done Mick. If you could pm me an e-mail address it will help the organisers communicate directly and would be much appreciated, it won't be passed to anyone but the organiser.

Hi can you put me down for 2 tables please many thanks.

Good news Nick
I will spread the word at L&D and get Andy to display a notice at Redfins

Cheers John.

Hope it goes well John. Do you not have staff who can be seconded as bearers?
6 Tables already booked.

It looks like this is going to be another great day out for collectors and shooters alike

I do like those Old Airgun Ads Nick

It's amazing just how many of the rifles, pistols and scopes I have owned over the past 30+ years

I am a bit puzzled though by the 'Airgunners Friend' advert in Airgunner 1990 uploaded on Jan 25, 2013 (Page 3)

'The Patented Diagnostic Tester' I will try Googling it

Looks like a trip up from the Boinger Bash then.

Absolutely Gordon.
Journey time from Quigley Hollow > Melbourne is only 29 mins, so it's an easy trip out for the hardcore who are doing Mick's Springer Bash (highly recommended ) and will offer an opportunity to reprovision for Saturday evening, there's a Sainsbury's next to the Legion.

For those who a Fair regulars why not double up and do the Bash too? Great set up with numerous targets from close to far, covered firing position... follow the link above.

My attempts to discover where this wunder-tool went met with abject failure.
A definite oddity John, I suspect it might more accurately be described as the "Airgunner's Fiend", another "great idea" that didn't live up to the hype? There's also a muzzle attachment which claimed to "tune" any airgun, circa 1998 (?), but looked like a cross between an old coke bottle and a spring balance. I'll see if I can find and scan it.

Picked one of these up at the weekend along with a copy of GCs from Trigger to Muzzle, pictures courtesy of Planet Airgun......http://planetairgun.com/index.php?PH...37204#msg37204 Not had chance to compare it with an F1 Chrony.

I've got one in the loft I think... not cheap back in the day. Your two items would have cost £41.50 in 1985, about the same as a Webley Tempest or half an HW80.

Sadly, I will have to miss this great event because I am at the BASC Gamekeepers Fair at Catton Park that day.

Good luck to everyone organising and taking part in what has become the Glastonbury of airgun collecting.

BASC Gamekeepers Fair is at Catton Park, Derbyshire, on Saturday 11th April and Sunday 12th April.

Keen enthusiasts could easily visit both events.

It will be a first for me. Looking forward to meeting some old 'phone friends' and others from days gone by - Chris!!

Sorry you can't make it Charlie, I'll pass on your best wishes.

Catton is just across the fields from me, I usually get a freebie , not much for the airgunner but a good way to spend a few hours...and there's usually some good zider.

It will be a first for me...

Two-fers seem popular this year (see vdubb below). Melbourne Fair & Springer Bash ~perfect way to split the drive from Lincoln over 2 days.

Can you reserve a table for a friend of mine - Ian Waghorn of Jubilee AR&P Club

I also would like a table and mentioned it to Phil last week. I believe Derek was also booking a table/tables for his mate (Big Bob) from Nottingham
