I'm in Mick, I will get a cheque in the post ....great stuff mate,will look forward to it .....I will try and get down on the Friday again,yep I will be camping
Well seeing how we're getting the hang of organising these events for you so we thought we'd move on to holding a weekend for all types of airgun.
THE EVENT
The BBS Airgun Gathering will be held on 6th/7th September 2014
This will just be a weekend of chatting about guns, shooting, eating, drinking and getting to meet folks.
THE PRICE
£20 including camping over the full weekend (3 nights or more if required)
Part of this payment is for me to insure on the field so that folks without their own shooting insurance can attend.
THE VENUE
Higham Fields Farm
Higham Fields Lane,
Higham on the hill,
Nuneaton,
Warwickshire.
CV13 6ET
HOW IT WORKS
As the payment system I sorted out with our very own Mr Jim Tyler (BTDT) --- Lord of the Springs, worked so well the last 2 times I'll do the same again this time.
1) Anybody who would like to attend simply sends a cheque for £20 made payable to M Furniss (me) to my work addressabove.
On the back of the cheque write your username, Forum, nearest postal town and the word "camping" if doing so.
2) I hang on to the cheques until we reach the minimum break even point for portaloos, insurance etc before banking them.
3) I will be scanning the cheques before banking them, so in the event of cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances, can bank transfer your money back into your account.
4) As cheques come in I will post your username/Forum/Postal town up on here with your cheques status ---received/Banked.
I have my local caterer mate, Krazy Kev booked for Friday, Saturday and Sunday to sell Burgers, Hot dogs, Pork and stuffing cobs, Tea and Coffee, plus, Horlicks, Ovaltine and Bengers for members from the Collectors section.
I will not be organising a licensed bar on site but as your cars will be accessible inside the site I suggest you bring your own.
For those camping I shall be building a bonfire again for the Saturday night.
Targets will be a load of Spinners, Bell targets and the Quigley Bucket out at 75 yards, and hopefully I'll be buying or building some more Knockdowns and making a few more spinners.
If there are any questions please ask on this thread and I will answer them here to save repetition.
Thank you once again to Jim
All the best Mick

Excellent, Uncle Mick.
Be great to see all you folks again plus, hopefully, plenty of Gathering Newbies with PCPs, CO2 and pumpers.
It'll be a great weekend, see you all there!
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 2025.........BOING!!
Thanks Mick !
This weekend is tricky at the moment but I''ll see how it goes. Making it "all airgun" should bring in a good crowd !
John.
“An airgun or two”………
Pre-warned my wife when this was floated. Game on. Cheque will be in the post shortly
Any options for those without a cheque book? Could wait until the break even point and then pay by bank transfer or paypal?
Good deals with these members
Hurrah! I will be there, maybe Mrs Bum too!
Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
Here we go again.
Anybody got a compressor, some bottles are going to need filling over 3 days.
Cheers
