I log in here regularly to keep a check on the competition...is it just me or are there less people responding to the posting of results and banter than there used to be, it all seems to have gone very quiet

To the shooting, I only managed 4 events in the series but all spot on, massive thanks to all those who give their time to making all this happen, where would we be without you

I like Bisley, thanks guys, you could see the effort that had gone into some of those targets....they don't all have to be long to make a tricky course.

I am liking the extra positionals, more please

Thanks for putting up with me Steve and Mike (the legendary Herx77 who would have guessed it ).

Special notice to Nigel, 57 with one of those things, top shooting from a top bloke


Anyway Spring it seems has arrived:

With winter's footprints in the past,
and snows begin to melt at last.

With longer days and shorter nights,
the wayward winds of March take flight.

Four winds she holds within her grip,
then hurls them from her fingertip.

Her woolly, fleecy clouds of white,
she sets in skies of blue delight.

Her wild bouts of gusty breezes
roar through valleys, hills, and trees.

That high pitch whistling song she sings
awakens earth and flowering things.

She tears a hole in heaven's sky
so sun can shine and rain can cry.

She gently calms as spring draws near,
as blooming daffodils appear.

She welcomes April showers in,
then gathers up her dwindling winds.
Now her long journey home begins,

knowing she'll be back this way,
upon a cold, late winter's day,

when nights grow short
and days grow long.

Listen for her whistling song!
