I could do an info display board as well with a potted history, and maybe bring the "Guards" milpat to show the link to the forces...They might be interested to know that a lot of WW1 veterans would have left for France either being bell shooters before joining up, and may have learnt elementary sighting with air weapons where space / / noise / expense was an issue (cadets and private schools as well).

    Let me know what you think, an easy thing to sort out and may be an added attraction, and an eye opener when they realise that 18 feet away is not as easy as you think

    Brilliant idea Edster re the Bell Target side shoot, information on Bell Target and the ex Guards Mil Pattern to show our present squaddies. Plus like you say it'll be an added attraction and it will add to the celebration of air gunning idea that Terry Doe wants to promote.

    Hi Gary, Is there somewhere inside / under cover at the venue where I could set this up?

    Yes mate, there is supposedly a fairly big covered area. I'm doing a Recce in a few weeks, hopefully Sunday 25th August so I can get the full picture then. Come along if you want mate. I'm interfacing with Dave Simmo the guy that runs the Greyhound club, the disabled shooters reps to see if all is well with the site for wheelchair access and us, the RBL. Every one from the RBL want to meet the talented Edster anyway.

    Hi Mate, sounds good...keep me posted and I will pop up as it is quite close (compared to distances I have driven in the past to look at old nettle bashers ).

    Oh be still my fluttering heart tis the other half of Sheffields gruesome twosome gracing my thread with a post . Have to try and get the little fella (Mel) to put up a team now John . Glad you've gone for the Airsporters mate, that may tempt a few more on here to do likewise.

    A Suggestion ?

    Can I make one suggestion please ?!

    May be to hold a "Bring and Buy" table at the above Event ?
    If anyone attending want to sell any gear on the Day !?

    Cheears,

    John.

    He said he wanted to shoot with you and Golden Knackers when I phoned him Saturday. But as I pointed out Norfolk n Chance and tightarsed little woolyback carpenter just didn't have the same ring to it as a team name . Thinking on as well John we'll need an interpreter for Mel with that deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Barnsley twang of his .

    That's an excellent idea John if we can get enough people with things to sell.
