THE Best Event of The Year is nearly upon us.....
Friends,
In just 26 days time, the scenic and stunning venue of Quigley Hollow, Higham on the Hill, near Nuneaton, will be once again home to the "Boinger Bash".
We have already run a string of successful events.
These meets are superb. Informal, casual and laid back; certainly not competitive, but with safety as the paramount factor.
The many and varied targets are set out from 10 yards up to 75 yards.
We have a converted polytunnel which is weather proof which can easily accommodate all guests, shielding from sun or rain. Camping is laid on - free. The hosts, Mick and Shirl Furniss, even arrange for a high quality caterer to attend, dishing up fine food and drinks at very reasonable prices. People attend for a day / weekend, and even up to five days....and all this for just £20! For up to five days' shooting and camping!
Ages of people that have attended so far range from the very young to gents in their late 70s.
The camaraderie and fellowship is warm and sincere. The event has not, and never will be, in the least "clicky" and all people visiting for the first time receive a warm welcome, have a great time and vow to return.
The day / weekend can be what you want it to be....Chat full time, shoot full time, or anything in between! You'll have the opportunity to try out lots of other people's guns, from highly tuned and specialized precision masterpieces to rusty old, characterful vintage guns. And talk to the people that shoot and tune them. Pick up tips on technique, pellets, scopes....anything you want, and all this expert advice is freely dished out with no hint of snobbery. As I say, this is a genuinely friendly, informal affair.
Although billed as a "Boinger Bash", the event is NOT solely for spring guns and ALL POWERPLANTS ARE WELCOME and, indeed, have attended in the past. The only proviso is that they must be sub 12ft.lbs for rifles and 6ft.lbs for pistols.
So, for anyone still thinking about whether to come along or not, I absolutely implore you to do so. You certainly won't be disappointed and I, and all the Bash regulars guarantee you'll have a fantastic time.
There's a main thread detailing the event giving full details if you wish to attend....please look it up
And, please come along and immerse yourself into the world of Airguns and share the passion. The event is non-profit making; all monies made go towards improving future events, but they cannot happen without your support.
