16th and 17th June 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event And Payment Details

[trick cyclist]

Alrighty then!

I'm free to travel from 7pm Friday evening, and the trip should take 3 hours.

Question: Do I set off, arriving at a strange campsite that I have never visited before, in the dark, to meet folks I have never met, or do I set out early Saturday morning having completed the three S's in the comfort of my own bathroom, arriving around breakfast time to see all your lovely, shiny faces eager to start the day?

[baldinio]

Friday night mate, all day long. You will be made more than welcome and the beer will likely be flowing round the bonfire till the wee hours

[TonyL]

Yep, as Lovely Chris says, if you have the option, go on Friday night.

Every single person that has visited for the first time marvels at the friendly welcome received and you'll be at home straight away.

Then you'll have the full day on Saturday to "go at it". Unless you get so well and truly sloshed that you don't surface until later!

[TonyL]

I bet all you lovely, lucky peeps that have managed to make it to The Hollow thus far are having a lovely time.

Go on, give us a report, peeps.

It’s cracking Tone. Words can’t describe what a truly cracking event this is, not to mention the absolute quality people that attend it. Great times, even greater friends

[baldinio]

Bloody he'll Mike, I know you are an early riser mate, but the only time I've seen the hollow that early in the morning was when Moley and I stayed up talking drunken nonsense all night. was it a quiet one last night? I take it Pauly hasn't surfaced yet lol seriously you deserve some kind of medal, or at least a certificate of achievement for being awake and able to coherently type so early after a Thursday night round the fire once I've picked up junior at 13.00 i reckon eta approx 16.30. Can't wait, see you all soon peeps.

I’m beggining to dread the June Bash coming round as there’s a very nasty pattern emerging.
I was called away from last years’ June event as my Mrs underwent an emergency op and wound up in intensive care for a week.
Yesterday my father in law was lifted by air ambulance after an accident at work. He’s broken his neck in two places and has severe brain swelling and a serious brain bleed. Neurosurgeons can’t tell us if he’ll resuscitate, or to what degree if he does.
Therefore I’ll be making a flying visit tomorrow to settle a couple of deals with Charlie and Daz and then I need to be back here.

Apologies for the dreary post, just easier to let everyone know in one go rather than reply to individual messages (which have been greatly appreciated by the way).

All the best, Craig

[CapitalBee]

Well, the conversation went "aren't you going to the bash tonight?" Answer "well, I'd thought about it". So, without further ado, after work, I'll be packing and making my way to the hollow - see you guys this evening

Friday. It's the best night.

[Rickenbacker]

Saturday morning.

Arrive bushy-tailed and shout "drop yer cocks and grab yer socks!".

On reflection, I suppose that could also work late on a Friday night...

How truly fitting that the timing for this, the 18th Boinger Bash, falls on the fifth birthday of this glorious event.

Five wonderful, life-changing years.

Did the little band of dreamy-eyed springer enthusiasts ever believe that this little spark of an idea could flourish into such a beautiful event? A national, nay internationally, recognised meet-up of airgun enthusiasts, with a wonderfully unique and informal flavour. And an event that is so eagerly anticipated by the many returnees.

Many genuine, long-term friendships have been forged at Quigley Hollow. Friendships that will truly stand the test of time and friendships that show true caring spirit and brotherhood. My best friends are the friends thst I have made at The Boinger Bash events.

And, as has been said countless times by so many appreciative people, a huge thank you to our wonderful hosts Mick and Shirl for firstly offering to host the event in the first place and then for the continued hard graft and commitment to the cause, making each and every meet so special.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOINGER BASH!

Well said Tony,

I've just finished loading the car and should be setting off in half an hour or so and may stop for a brekky on the way down so with a little bit of luck I should be there between 9 and half past.
See you all soon.

Safe journey, Gary, and to all who are travelling to and returning from The Hollow over the next few days.

It really is a case of pride and satisfaction that The Bash has grown into the hugely successful and influential event that it has become.

It seems so long ago now that this small bunch of springer nuts were burning the midnight oil and dreamily concocting up a basis for such a meet. A collection of diverse people from all four corners of our green and pleasant land. Even the likely location was a matter of great debate until our Mick grabbed it firmly with both hands and offered not only to host the meet but to organise it down to the last, perfect detail.

Nobody had met before and no-one had a clue as to how many people would actually turn out on the day, how people would get on and how the day would pan out. The fact that not only is it still here, but going from strength to strength, is testament to the successful prescription and the bonding and charming nature of the spring operated airgun and the lovely people who have become entranced by this wonderful system of projectile propulsion.

The Boinger Bash has been a life-changing event for myself and so many others; it's a way of life.

And it's all down to Mick and Shirl's unerring commitment and to the fine people who continue to attend and support.

Long may The Boinger Bash live and prosper.

Love you all, peeps.

BOING!

Wise words mate, and I do like the term "wonderful system of projectile propulsion"

I'm getting my stuff together now and hopefully will be on the road by mid-morning, and arriving at The Bash early afternoon

See you all later
