i hope there will be some mystery/suprises on the the day or we will all know what exacly is for sale before we get there!

Paul always has a selection of mystery guns. Just bring plenty of cash, although there is a cash machine next door at the supermarket



Thanks for the list Micky

That's a great selection of guns and it looks like there is going to be a good choice from simple spring and pneumatics to the older types of match spring air rifles.

A range and chrono will be available if anyone wishes to test a gun, like at last years Fayres

Hello all,
I'll be bringing a dozen or so BSA's, including Cadet, Meteor, & Merlins, Scorpion pistol.
Some Webleys, Mk III s, inc. Supertarget, Falcon, Hawk (2 barrels).
Milita.
Milbro.
Gem.
and a few more when I've decided what I can survive without.
All in good order.

I'll be coming down from the North East. Can some helpful soul give me some clues, regarding location, landmarks, postcode etc, ( I have satnav but il'll probably send me to Australia).
Regards Mel Holmes.

If you are coming down the M1 then it's probably junction 24, which is the junction for East Midlands Airport. Melbourne is about 5 miles west of the airport but your satnav should deal with the fine detail.

As above, plus the venue is right next door to the Budgens supermarket...if you see the supermarket to your left, the entrance to the RBL building car park is about 70 yards later after the big green supermarket sign, the RBL sign is a black one with marstons at the the top, in a green bush

This may help;

Drag the streetview "man" onto the Derby road between Blanch Croft and Dunnicliffe lane, and proceed north, and all will be revealed!

Hi John
I recognise some of the table holders names, and a fine bunch of Gentlemen they are too, but I just wondered about Chris?
Is he the same Chris that represents England in Olympic track and field, you know, about 6ft tall, around 10 stone and tee-total?

[pennineway.fswo]

That sounds like the boy.

Not sure about the Olympic track and field these days, but he still stubbornly abstains from drink, sex and other worldly pleasures to maintain his handsome body which is honed and toned to perfection (I'm told).

Another seller and shooter for the fayre/bell target competition - Torrens

Got a couple of medals over the years, mainly in the Pie-Athlon, I think

Would that be eating or throwing them.

[pennineway.fswo]

If anyone is going to the other Midlands arms fayre on the Sunday, then Chris can recommend some places to stay for the Saturday evening and is more than happy to socialise during the evening at local houses of ill-repute.

If you want to get in touch with Chris and don't know his e-mail address just pm me.
