    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Boinging day

    Hello all.
    Our visit was brief but was fun...it may have been our first bash but hopefully not the last. Big thanks to Dave, his lovely wife and family for food and drink. Thanks also to everyone else who made us welcome.
    Last but not least to Shed Tuner @JB for holding on to and bringing the TX200 for me.
    Wishing you all a dry weekend. May your pellets be accurate and laughter loud.

    What a great time I have had (once I got a new air bed). Due to commitments at home I had to leave today but it's been brilliant.
    Dave and Verity have put a lot of effort into making this happen and they've excelled themselves to make the "Norfolk Bash" a fantastic event.
    A big thanks also to Mike and Dave for the hard work that they too have put in to help make it all happen.
    It was nice to meet up with you all again even though it was brief with some people.
    Once again a big thank you for all you've done to get this up and running and I look forward to seeing at a Bash soon.

    Gary.

    Lovely to hear that you had such a good experience with your first Bash visit, Pete and Lorna. And it is something we hear every time a newbie visits, due to the inclusiveness of the event and the genuine friendliness exhibited by all and in making newcomers feel welcome and part of The Bash.

    Sorry I couldn't get to meet you this time and I look forward to meeting you at a future event......BOING!

    Great to hear, Gary.

    I knew Dave and Verity would do us, and The Bash, proud. Thank you and very well done to our fine hosts and, of course, to Dave and Mikey for their hard work in making it happen.

    In all honesty,
    why are you meeting up to flog a few airguns, during a global; pandemic????
    Seriously?
    Why?
    is a hobby so important?
    Dave?
    Never go off half cocked....

    To be honest mate with the precautions we have taken, you'd be at more risk doing your shopping in wroxham than being here. This was never anything to do with flogging a few airguns. I think you'll find every one that participated did so of their own free will.

    Seriously? Yes.

    Is a hobby so important? From the reactions of the attendees we've received, apparently so, to quite a lot of people.

    And lose the racist signature by the end of the day or you'll be gone from the forum permanently.

    You obviously don't understand the boinger bash, so why comment.
    Dave and his family's hard work made it safer than visiting a supermarket, or indeed a pub. The event was conducted following all of the gov.ernment guidelines, I know I was there

    A huge thank you to Dave and Verity for the enormous effort that goes into organising this event so brilliantly. Your work enabled most of us to just pitch up and enjoy the company, the shooting, the incredible guns that we get a chance to shoot and the amazing sharing of knowledge that lets even the most basic enthusiastic springer enthusiast like me go on dreaming of the ultimate gun, which will put every pellet exactly where I want it to go, instead of where I happen to be pointing the barrel. Superb!

    Our sincere apologies

    To Dave and Verity that have supported and worked with us on our events over the last few years. We both really wanted to make this one. We have had a few issues.
    A lot work goes into this at 'normal' times and knowing you two, all the proper procedures will have been followed
    One thing for sure, you will both sleep well tonight.

    A swift half is overdue!
