The Boinger Bash Lounge

[TonyL]

Greetings my lovely little BoingerPeeps.

I hope you're all keeping safe and well and may your guides remain true and stiff.

Dave informed us the other week that it's unlikely that he and Verity will be able to host another meet.

And Uncle Mick is still suffering from the horribly debilitating wobblies, although they've done nothing to blunt his wit and resolve. Fingers crossed that one day in the not too distant future, he may be able to, once again, host the wonderful Boinger Bash for us.

Fingers crossed that, as the months roll by, this pandemic situation gets resolved and life can return to normal (or some sort of palatable, new normal) and we can look to stage an event so that we can all be re-united.

In the meantime, here's a new little thread for us all to congregate and share ideas and banter.

I'll keep it boinging along until we can announce this next event, which will then get its own dedicated thread.

In the meantime, if GrandadG or Mick could kindly do the honours with the spring and Zebedee GIFs, they would be great for boingery-up purposes.

Keep boinging, peeps. And keep us informed of your boingery shooting and tinkering exploits.

Keep safe and be assured; The Bash will keep Boinging.


BOING!!!!!!!j

Booooooooiiiiinnnnng.
Another year where I can't make a boinger bash. At this rate, I wonder I will ever make it to one

But if I can (as and when we are allowed out) I will bring a prototype of my break barrel.
If it gets reeeeally delayed, maybe even the production intent version that doesn't have an air arms trigger and BSA barrel

[Scott.]

To be honest I wouldn't mind driving down for a meet.

I went to a couple of AGF meets, met some bloody fantastic people and had a great time getting drunk with them,,, yes Im looking at you Nick Stanning
So I have absolutely no doubt the same would be true spending a weekend with you gentlemen.

The wife is dreaming about visiting the library in Birmingham...
So I'm hoping that any potential Boinger-Bash will be held in a place which makes it possible to visit both places.

But someone will have to sell me a .177" Longbow I could bring home afterwards

Well Scott, you and other "bash" friends are more than welcome down here if you are ever allowed to leave the island again.

I realise some may be reticent to put a deposit on a package deal, but there is a room/camping area here for any who want to plan a holiday without the rain or the financial commitment.

We're stuck in the Cognac vineyard region, I'm not sure if there's anything to drink though...?

Yes, the fantastic camaraderie and friendliness is what The Bash is all about, Scott. No prima donnas at a Boinger Bash. Just genuine, friendly people sharing the passion for our wonderful hobby. All willing to share and help in a laid back environment. Whatever the venue, The Boingerati will make it special.

Shame we might not get to meet just yet. I know you have plenty on your plate right now, Dan, but never say never, eh? It'll be great to experience your wonderful creation when you can visit.

I'm thinking an occasional "ping" instead of a "boing" would be welcome on the thread. There are quite a few people there (myself included) who bring along pcps.

Thanks for starting this thread Tony, it gives us something to look forward to, wherever the event may be, it will be a welcome return.
It will also be great to meet up with you all again to enjoy the banter as much as anything else.

Thanks, Gary.

It'll be lovely to see you and young Emma again. As you say, it can't come soon enough, but that glimmer of light is winking at us from the other end of the tunnel.

It'll be great to see you and all the other "Bashees" (is that a made up word?) Tony.

Emma is in the process of buying her first house with her fella, George. He's a nice lad with a good job and has been introduced to the joys of airgunning (he prefers the pffts at the moment but I'll try and educate him even though I do enjoy them myself).

Hopefully see you all in the not too distant future.
