I congratulate everyone who helped organise this excellent event. The Melbourne Marksmen helped sellers and visitors to have a very pleasing day out. Running the range and selling raffle tickets looked like particularly hard work. I think the airgun collectors fairs that have been organised since the event at Groby in September 2008, have proved that there is great interest in bringing enthusiasts together for a grand day-out.

The event has achieved what I think is vitally important to preserve shooting history for the future: movement of guns and related material into the hands of collectors, plinkers and beginners.

Once again, many thanks everyone who gave me the chance to enjoy this already legendary day of shooting fun.
