    It's actually a very easy and short drive from my place to Melbourne so it would be well worth the interested lads making the trip.


    All the best Mick

    For some strange reason the two day Boinger Bash event seems to get longer each time Pete --- at the last one I had folks here for six days.

    Folks normally start arriving late Thursday morning so they're set up ready for the Thursday night curry.

    And some of the attendees stay on until Tuesday night before packing up and leaving so making this a long weekend camping Holliday.

    So if you want to drop in on your way home Pete please feel free to do so.





    All the best Mick

    Hi there really looking forward to the fayre. I attended last September & thoroughly enjoyed it. I've acquired an interest in bb pistols at the moment so hopefully someone will have some to sell!

    Looking forward to Melbourne,

    Got a car full of crazed collectors looking for falke 80/90, webley service amongst any other surprises people have to offer.

    The BBQ very nice last year, great food.


    See you all there.

    Good news!

    I'll be bringing 2 Webley Services.

    And I concur regarding the food. The quality was above the all too common shamburgers while the price was lower - the sort of combination a Yorkshireman appreciates.

    See you there, Mick

    This will be the first one of these that I won't be able to attend. Hope everyone has a good time though!

    No problem Pete

    We tend to get a few folks dropping in later in the day for Kev's homemade burgers or the pork and stuffing cobs --- nom, nom, nom.



    All the best Mick



    PS :- Go on Pete, admit you're tempted.

    All tables are now booked, well done gents for supporting the Fayre . Tomorrow I'll be e-mailling the sellers a short guide for the day with a few hints and tips.

    Last time around there were some issues with congestion resulting from the large tables in the centre of the room. The Club's finest minds (Phil and his Dad ) have devised a plan which keeps all the seller's tables around the edge of the room which should make it much easier for buyers to circulate without doing the "collector's shuffle" which is well known to those who frequent the Fairs at the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum.

    They are tasty Pete, I dare you . It'd be like a grown up version of the Bisto Kid.

    Not much longer to wait now,

    I am after a .22 barrel for a Webley Service, push button type.

    Also a Beeman C1

    If anyone has either to sell I will be there with cash, no postage to worry about and also a good day out, you may even find something you want yourself.

    I will be wearing a name badge so look out for Karl.
