We will need to ensure that this one happens first. Mick puts such a huge effort into these events that it's a real shame that, on some occasions, if commitments don't come through in a timely manner, he's stressing over whether the event will take place at all.

I'm sure it'll come good, just that we could do with seeing some more positive activity.

And then, with this one taken care of, any plans of a November event would be usually discussed around the bonfire.

Hopefully, we'll have both.

I would like to add my 2 pence worth and say,

. Mick and shirly and others put a lot of work in behind the scenes to get the event set up. It is a cracking wknd and very informal..

I remember my first visit to bash a few yrs ago. I did not know anyone there, i just rocked up with my springers and shot.
I Talked a lot, had good food. It really is a friendly place to come visit, camp over etc. It is so informal and it is always great to chat about airguns with like minded people.
Dont be put off if your springer has not got the in tune, or this kit, or that kit in it.
It is a few days to be able to shoot what you have and enjoy good company. It is also a great place to shoot others rifles that have had some tinkering..or shoot some child hood dream rifles that you never owned.
It really does not matter what springers you have, but it is great to be able to shoot them .)
It is also great to be able to chat to the shed tuners if you have interest in what they do .)
. All in all a great time to be had.

I'm sure the event will be the usual success and every one attending will have a great weekend, I'm really looking forward to getting the TX200 out for the next bash event fingers crossed.
I might even treat myself to one of those TX200 T Shirts they sell on the "Bay" for the weekend

So many valid points put across up above and cementing the feeling that newcomers come along and fit in and feel comfortable straight away.

And, as Mick has said on the main thread, when we managed to get our first event off the ground, no-one really knew what to expect and we all probably got to that very first, pivotal Saturday morning with a great deal of trepidation.

Any worries were unfounded....Get together a bunch of like-minded, genuine people, all with a passion for our airguns, and success was sure-fire and guaranteed. And Mick's cool, laid back and humorous and warm character more than helped.

Father and son plinkers come, some very mature chaps come along, many husband and wife teams attend, world class shots come and are more than willing to impart their knowledge. And even the highly prized Jim Tyler has twice attended, and vows to visit again.
