Mind?

Not one little bit, Daz, of course.

Unless there's something you're not telling us about him / her!

Be great to see you and your cousin.

[TonyL]

Oh yes indeedy; just one week to go, seven sleeps (four for some) to go.

This time next week I'll be on my way to The Hollow to meet up with great friends and have a most boingerous boingering time.

Can't wait.....nearlier, nearly there.....BOING BOING BOING!!

Funds transferred to Mick's account and looking forward to seeing you all again on Saturday. Especially keen to meet some of the Scottish contingent if they can make it (Donald et al).
I must go out and stock up on ammo today and decide which rifle to bring.
Btw, are there still plans for a pistol showdown or pistol side shoot?
See you soon, Clogger

Absolutely fantastic news, Alastair.

Yet another of the "Original Pioneer Bucket Slayers" on board for another meet.

As ever, be great to see you again.

Cheers Tony, I'll sort payment now, atb Daz

Excellent; well done that man.

[TonyL]

Well, we seem to have had a steady start building the numbers but we're certainly getting there now.

Thanks to all that have committed thus far and to those nice peeps who are coming but not on the list yet.



Good news from the work potential Bash newbies....As I said yesterday, David (WavyDavy) from Sheffield will be coming on Saturday. And Kelly from the clothing department and Amanda, his girlfriend, are coming on the Sunday.

Payments forthcoming, Uncle Michael - Kelly's payments reference guests of mine.


And I'm hopeful on another lovely couple. I had mentioned them as possibles for the April Bash, but they couldn't make it. From Swadlincote, so fairly close to The Hollow. When I spoke to them in the Spring, their son had just bought a rifle and was using it for informal targets down the garden. But, recently, they have a Roland presence in the garden. So dad's been and bought himself a rifle from Bill at Solware. They know Higham on The Hill. Fingers crossed....

[TonyL]

I've only just noticed this on the payment list........

Captain Bongo, home town - Quigley Hollow!


So, he IS at The Hollow!

Cheers Tony mate, it's a lovely day here today with plenty of banging but not much BOINGING

So here's a lunchtime BOING from the 1200yd firing point on Stickledown range...

"BOING" and bang, bang, bang with the sound of a few 7.62's going off at 1000yds

Is this a civilian or military facility Paul, what weapons are used ?

It's Bisley which is a civilian facility and here is the NRA website >> http://www.nra.org.uk/ << which gives you some idea of what goes on, and who can shoot there John.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow is the Phoenix meeting which replaced the old annual pistol competitions from 20 odd years ago.

All sorts of guns are in use in various competitions in the different ranges located around the site, and at the same time the shotgun and full bore rifle ranges are in use too.
Carbines and Long Barrelled pistols compete in many of the gallery matches, both .22LR and centre fire.

The trade fair fair today catered mostly for powder burners and collectors, with some familiar faces and RFD's in attendance.

Also on site is the NSRA Lord Roberts shooting centre and showrooms, and also Fultons gunshop.

Hope that helps mate
