MPL Postal League : Spring/Summer 2018 - Entry Details

[PhatMan]

Bob,

Ta

Our local Post Office is now open again after a long closure - however, there is talk that it will be closing again soon

A dreadful state of affairs - 'providing a service' seems to have disappeared from Banks, Post Offices etc.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ

Thanks Russ,

The main street in Rawtenstall where I live is called Bank Street - probably due to the fact that just about every bank had a branch there, and with good reason, as this is a very busy market town that has a lot of small industry that chooses to bank in the Rossendale Valley's principle town.

We still have an unusually large percentage of banks for such a small town - and plenty of building society branches too - but surprisingly the HSBC (previously known as The Midland Bank) have chosen to close their Rawtenstall branch, despite it always being very busy and with a strong turn-over - much to the bewilderment of the staff who have worked in other branches in the region and have reported not being anything like as busy as this one!

TSB built a new bank just a little further up Bank Street not so long ago (!), so there is obviously still a demand for local banking and this would appear to offer absolutely no logic as to why HSBC closed this particular branch.

We had a new Post Office open next to the sorting office in Kay Street not so long ago (this is also always very busy) - again making the HSBC decision to close this particular branch even more difficult to understand as most of the local business needs a local branch to work with and most have chosen to switch their accounts to rival banks.

Somethings just don't make any sense!

Thats right Neil £20 to enter two competitions plus the cost of sending the targets to you (if you are unable to collect them).

If you would like your targets posting to you then send Russ a PM and he can let you know the cost currently inflicted on us (charged) by the GPO to send them to you.

Hi Russ - will you be running a supported rifle class this year?

I still have nowhere to shoot at home at this moment but we have made a 6 yard shooting position for 4 shooters at RMTC and have a couple of entries for this competition (if you are running it) as we have some interest in starting this new (for us) discipline.

We will also be able to shoot supported air rifle at 10 meters by moving the supports back to the 10 meter benches but the 6 yard discipline sounds like fun and would bring a couple of new entries into the MPL.

Following some interest in joining this MPL postal competition from Surrytom I have mentioned it here on this thread to take it back to the top of the page so he and others that may not have seen how to enter will be able to find it more easily.

We already have our first 3 entries for the 6yard MPL Supported Air Rifle competition run to the following rules :-
