The Boinger Bash Lounge

[Neil54]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are well and coping with the lockdown.
Personally, apart from going to the pub nothing much has changed for me, except I am now an essential worker. For those who don't know I am the caretaker at a local school which has been open for the children of essential workers, so I still get up every morning.

I have made enquiries with a local land owner and a farmer as to the possibility of holding a meeting.
The response is positive and we have a narrow window of opportunity between the hay being cut and the birds being released on the local shoot.
The best dates for me would be the 26th and 27th June, the previous weekend being given the UKCAF to help share the cost.
We have a possible plan B and alternative location plan C.

So 26th and 27th June 2021
Between the A606 and A46, Nether Broughton near Melton Mowbray.

I will start new Thread shortly asking for prospective attendees. Depending on the situation at the time we may be limited on numbers.

Camping will be in a field, with portaloos, no running water but I will arrange for a water run every lunch time ish.

Lots to sort out but I will let you all know soon.

Weyhey!!!

Restrictions permitting, I'd be up for this.

Me too well done that man

Great stuff Neil.

Just dreaming of all those springers and the people who know all about them gathered together again is enough to lift the gloom of winter, I will need something pretty desperate to keep me away from the next one. And a chance to get a few ideas on what might be my next project would be wonderful. Bring it on!

And lovely to see you two fine chaps on.

What type of thing would you think would be the makings of your next project, Mike?

And it's plain and obvious to see from all the views and comments so far how much The Boinger Bash means to so many special people.

If only I knew! At the last Quigley bash (sigh), simply because I didn't have one, I bought a TX with the intention of getting Nick G to do something wonderful with it - almost certainly a sleeve to 22mm, or even 21 - his is very nice to shoot. But the sad fact is that although the TX is a very nice piece of kit, and I have tried it in both standard trim and short stroked, I have not really fallen in love with it. I think it knows this, and so just to annoy me sometimes it will group really nicely for a while, at other times it sends pellets all over the county (over 25 mm groups off the bench at 30 yards) . I don't really want to splash the cash on sleeving if I am not going to have I rifle I love at the end of it.

One possibility is to buy a LGU to be sleeved, but could that be better than the Nick G skirtless piston one I already have? Or perhaps I could get another LGV (I do like break barrels) but I find it hard to imagine anything nicer than the "simple tuned" one which you were kind about at Quigley. The idea is to end up with something doctored to put a smile on my face every time I squeeze the trigger. One day I will make my mind up.

Great to see you on, Neil. And well done on your vital role in the essential sector. As Mark, should be okay for that, subject to restrictions etc.

Neil; do excuse me. I must take more time and read the posts properly.

When I first read this I thought this was for a UKCAF meet. But I've just re-read it (that'll teach me!) and it looks like this provision would be for a Boinger Bash then?

EXCELLENT! Yes, indeedy. Good, central location, too.

Let us know how and when things progress and what assistance you require.

You're a star!
