Where shall I start........
I cannot believe the support you lot have shown for this event, with many of you travelling great distances and a special thank you to our overseas visitors. It was very good to see Zuke from The Netherlands, who is taking back home a variety of collectables.
John Baz, Chippendale, Black Rider, Unframed Dave and his lovely wife, had the unfortunate experience of meeting me before they had chance to make their escape home with their goodies.
I met so many of you BBSers, that my 'old grey cells' struggled to cope and as I can't mention everyone, I thank you all for your fantastic support for this Fair and more important, our sport.
Over 500 people attended and I don't know for sure if people were just being polite, but we didn't receive too many complaints. Because of this, I hope to do it again in the future if the 'Present Mrs Binners' doesn't divorce me in the meantime.
She might be a keeper Pete.
A big Thankyou to you and the current Mrs B, you certainly know how to get things done. It was my first ever Airgun fair and I loved it. Really good to meet you at long last and already looking forward to the next one Atb Phil
It was an excellent day Pete, the 4 hours I was there flew by. The variety and number of airguns for sale was very impressive. It was only a 35 minute journey for me, but I can see that even if your journey was one of hundreds of miles it was still very worthwhile to visit. Roll on the next one.
Hello Pete,
I would just like to add my personal thanks to those already expressed for a truly excellent and well organised event.
It must have taken a tremendous amount of time and effort on your part and exceptional patience from your wife to ensure everything ran so smoothly.
This was without a doubt the best Arms Fair I have attended by far, and I hope you may have the inclination and energy to repeat the experience which although this would be extremely difficult to surpass.
Thanks again.
Brian
Too far for me this time but with a decent car next time ...when is the next one planned ?
Great event Binners, give yourself a pat on the back.
Picked up a nice little 1970's HW35 Vixen so well pleased.
Thanks

Many thanks Pete, a most excellent day. So good, I've only just got home......well that's what it feels like. I was even persuaded to open my wallet, a truly momentous occasion and not witnessed by many I can tell you!
Carl.
Didn't get to meet you on the day, Pete, but thanks again for a great fair. Here's hoping it continues.
Well done Pete. It was a great day, well organised, superb venue, good lighting, lots of room for everyone. I've never seen so many air guns. Congratulations to both you and Liz. We're looking forward to the next event!
Sounds like huge congratulations are due to you, Pete.
Very, very well done.
I have never attended an airgun fair in my life.
Something to do with working weekends in retail for about 32 years.
But I will try and make one of your fine get-togethers.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 4/5, 2024.........BOING!!
Obviously a bit of a BBS love fest.
I only met one member and he seemed to like me till I said I was Gingernut.
Ooops!!
It's a shame there wasn't some name badges for members!!
I met Lawrie, New member Zuke and loads more people that were probably members on here but I don't know for sure
Mind you, Someone could have ended up with a thump on the nose if they'd had cross words on here!!
