    No mate. A large country pub. Meal and quiz with tables well spread out and numbers strictly limited.
    I think it was the 6 teams instead of the normal 10 or 12 that helped with the win.

    The meteor shot well. 9ft/lbs and hitting knock downs out to 35yds. The .177 TX200, 97 and 98 all got an outing too. Getting used to the new CP Optisan on the 97. Got 5 shot touching group out at 50yds with it

    Sounds like you had a most excellent session there, Pete.

    And that was some shooting with the 97. Nice one.

    Boingers rule, in'it?

    A little while ago. Due to shooting a new discipline ofpowder burners he is giving Lea Valley a break. They have also introduced a new pricing structure that will make it more expensive for casual shooters. We hope he will still come as a guest now and then though. He did say he would be at the Badh when all this silliness is over

    Gotcha. If you do hear from him, please pass on my very best regards.

    And it'll be so nice when we've finally got this horrible situation properly under control and Boingy Bash playtime can recommence. In the meantime, safe, virtual hugs to all xxx

    stick an HW26mm seal in there with a piston head conversion, and you'll be hitting 12 FP
