    Melbourne MM Fair date 26th Nov

    Just copied this from another site,

    Just a heads up for this excellent event...more details to follow but there will be more tables than ever...if you want to book a table contact Phil ...his details are on the Melbourne Marksmen website...plenty of pic's of previous events too...


    I am sure most members in this section are aware of the superb event that takes place normally twice a year in Derbyshire, but just in case you have missed it, make a note in your diary now


    Apart from loads of collectable and modern guns/spares being offered, the very generous organisers donate quite a lot to the RBL and are a very friendly bunch, even though they are well North of Watford.

    Thank you MM for heilping to keep our sport alive.

    Sounds like a made up name to me.

    About time we organised an airgun event like this down South.

    We (Rivington Riflemen) did a similar fair a few months ago (http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....ight=Adlington) in aid of Cancer Research and in memory of my pal Ray Ross.
    Like the Melbourne event which I have attended a few times, it was a great day out. I bought some bargains, sold some tat , had a great laugh and even got some one with the 'smelly grease' trick.

    Go for it!

    Luckily we had a club member heavily involved in his local community centre. We just had to persuade him, with threats of violence and my jokes, and bingo!

    Sorry for the delay, The date of Saturday 26th November at the Royal British Legion in Melbourne is ''cut in stone''

    I am not a member or involved in anyway with this great event, just passing on the good news....

    Hmm.

    There are plenty of clubs around here with clubhouses and indoor range attached for added floorspace that would be ideal.
