    Season's greetings!

    I know Binners jumped the gun and did a similar thread a while ago () but I’d like to offer my own best Christmas and New Year wishes to everyone in collectables too.

    It’s been a good year for (UK) vintage airgun collectors, with the start of Peter’s excellent Kempton airgun fairs providing a much-needed exchange for the many collectors in the south of the country, and more events scheduled for 2018.

    A major improvement has happened quietly on the BBS too, with pics in posts finally permitted in collectables, more than a decade after they were switched off! Thanks Ed for allowing them again.

    Have a good one everybody!

    Mate!

    Putting on a minno event at a Racecourse pales into insignificance compared to your multi forum info and all the work that it entails...

    Respect to you Danny.

    Same here. A good year, and particular mentions to Garvin for overcoming the challenge of Photobucket to his online vintage airguns content, and Binners for the whole Kempton thing, which is great.

    Happy pagan winter festival appropriated by religious-nationalist Middle-Eastern cult to all of you.

    I think Father Christmas has a Webley.
    ATB all you festive fellow collectors. Condition is important, rarity too, but its the thought that counts...and friendship.

    Not expecting any useful input until recovery from the Christmas excess as its all fart, snooze with snore, for the next week.
