    banter & shoot some pistols.

    We will be holding our main competition in all four categories
    Side shoots, some timed knock-down competitions & snooker pistol competitions.

    There will be awards & badges on the day.

    Even unique wooden spoon awards

    There is a Pub/Restaurant adjacent to the club so you won't be short of food
    Sandwiches, snacks, tea, coffee & squash will be provided
    on the grounds.


    Anyone found, or suspected of being, under the influence of alcohol will be
    escorted from the site until after the contests.

    However anyone suspected of being sober after 20:30 hrs will be required to
    drink some more.

    Pitching of tents is available on-site & there are B&Bs around the area

    >B&Bs<


    Admission will be set at £7.50 for all categories, this will help cover the costs for
    the venue, food & awards.

    Come on Guy's and Gal's get your names down, the last meet was in the cold month of October and was a real fun day, so it should be even better this time round.

    Try and make the effort to come

    We are holding the meet at the Greyhound again as they invited us back (Yes they are as mad as we are), the ground is perfect and the people friendly (not to mention it backing onto a pub) it is also the most central area from north to south. I know for some of us it is quite a treck, but it is worth the effort to meet all those guy's and gal's you chat with on here. If there are any members out there tht would like to organise a meet in their area please let me know and we will see what we can sort out.

    Hope to see you all in Coventry

    Hey, Jan and I are going to be there. You're probably closer to Coventry than we are!

    Yes mates, we're planning our trip day-by-day now, and have Coventry / the UBC shoot at the Greyhound, booked in for the 23rd.

    If there's a B&B nearby, we might just stay there the night of the 23rd, and take the train back to London the morning of the 24th.

    We're going to be in Stratford on the 22nd

    Jan's a B&B aficionado, anyway.


    Cheers!

    Whoo-hOOO!

    It'll be great to see you all again! Anyone up for a repeat of the Holiday Inn?

    Jim and Jan, I can't wait to meet y'all.

    Mike / Mickson, you're nearer than me and you have plenty of time to arrange a day or two's holiday for the event so stop buggering about and get your name down. It'd be great to meet you.

    Just think about the Phantom Sniper - he's not got a car and lives a gazillion miles away, but somehow or other, he'll get there and back just like he did last time.

    Cookie dude - we need to put the world to rights again - it's all gone horribly pear-shaped since we last met.

    Counting the days...
