Proposed Sat & Sun for our Next U.B.C MEET

[magicniner]

How about a Red Arrows display and a Spitfire fly past?

And electric target changers.

It was hard enough sourcing 24 suitable pulleys, now you're suggesting find 12 matching electric motors plus switchgear AND make it UBC Proof!

Wait 'till you see what I do bring!

Well you needn't think your going to be allowed to sit around all day next Saturday, you can do that in the afternoon, after you have done the above

...and if we can find somewhere to stick the broom you can sweep up as you go too.

I am happy to go with the flow, and see where it takes me as to format.

As to Red Arrows, you won't get a display, but for a flypast try here.

You never know your luck.

Ok not trying to sway the vote at all but i would like to keep the main shoot for saturday, so folks can come along shoot and take an award home if the win one the same day. And Sunday should be a purely fun day so the UBC management team can take a step back and relax, enjoy seeing everyone shoot and maybe have a shoot themselves without having to rush it so we can fit everything in.

I think ending Saturday without the presentation of the awards will be a bit of an anti-climax, and having to wait until Sunday when quiet a few members would have gone home doesn't seem fair.

But this is just my view and it's your club too so lets get those votes in.

I'm sure you'd get quite a few volunteers to help out with everything if you wanted it.
we could split up into teams and take it in half day shifts.
you can stick me on the list if there's anything i can do.

Cheer's Sol that's the type of spirit we need.

Somewhere in the chaos I have the drive for a kids electric car. Want me to look it out as a sample?
Keep your eyes on the local skips because the cheap versions of these cars break the foot operated on /off swiches then they get dumped cause not many folks have plastic welding gear.

I will try to be there whatever the format, put me down as a volunteer also.
One question though, does that mean the Greyhound gun club members won't be able to use their beloved plinking range for the whole weekend?

My suggestion is for the main 6 yard competitions to be a primary feature of the Saturday but to hold off the prize giving until the end of the weekend.
That way we can have just 2 or 3 lanes running 6 yard paper on the Sunday to allow anyone unable to attend on the Saturday to compete, it just seems the fairest way to let the most UBC members participate fully.

Hi Ian.

It wouldn't be the same without you. You've been to all of them so far & thanks for the offer of helping also

Before I put this thread up I asked Dave whether it would be alright to have a whole weekend at the Greyhound. I hope the members won't mind & are most welcome to join in on the day. As when we had our 2nd meet a Greyhound member won a few awards.


Regards
Paddy.

Well he's the boss so it will happen, the members are a good bunch anyway. So maybe I will be able to rope in other members to come and join us, I know a couple were interested last time but chickened out on the day (which was a shame because they missed a great day!)

Hi Ian

I've spoken to a few of the members & they are a nice bunch of people. They are more than welcome to join in & I hope it don't trouble them too much us using the range.

Hi all

Thank you for your replies & voting on the poll.

The majority decision is to have a mix of comps & fun shoots.

I will now go head & plan the criteria for the two days.

Regards
Paddy.
