Buxted National lack of local support

[pjacobs]

I was registered, booked in for the second session and fully paid up; but my back injury returned on the Friday whilst practicing. Another expensive week followed at the physiotherapist.

Gutted I couldn't make it but I was working nights that week and didn't even get home until 08:00 after working 13hrs in a prison with some very demanding residents, I would hate to think that for this reason I've missed out on future "local" national level shooting. Hope the decision gets reconsidered but don't blame you if it's not as very few can afford to run at a loss, maybe for future events not such lavish silverware is the answer, a big trophy is always nice but receiving any trophy is also good as are the priceless memories if you walk away as the champion of the day.
Just my $0.02

We had intended to join in the fun, but a 'special' birthday of mine was during that week and a surprise pressie meant we ended up spending that weekend in Amsterdam. We haven't done any Nationals before though, and these aren't on our hobby radar at the moment, but were very happy to go along to support Buxted and give it a go. Well, this is what I thought we were going to be doing that Sunday until my birthday came round :-) Just a shame we weren't in the country in the end. (Justin in retrospect, this is clearly why Rick was not totally committal every time you chatted to us to drum up business for the day, I just didn't realise why. I thought it was weird but didn't suss why, as he'd shoot in his sleep if he could lol).

looking at Andys scores, that's what he is doing!

Sure he will come back with a very predictable "well you fall asleep at every peg" (read in a really wimpy winey old voice and it will be like he is there ....with you...) ...Ok don't..
