    Is this a sly way of telling me it's going to cost me 2 cups of tea?

    Will she be wearing a sparkly leotard and doing a Debbie McGee impression?

    Or just making the money disappear?

    See you then, Mick

    It must be true love mate when you let her wear your own "special night" going out gear...I suppose those red 8" heels of yours were too big for her?

    See you there,

    Red heels are the only things that are 8'' long round here mate, but if I shift enough rifles, I could buy her, her own leotard as this one chaffs a bit.

    Collectors day out

    Many thanks to everyone who attended today to make this event successful

    Nice to see so many turn up, including some serious collectors and two of my favorite writers.


    We will add up the proceeds and announce it on the forum

    A presentation will then be made to the RBL Poppy Appeal. I have a feeling we may have even bettered the £700 from the fayre last year

    Hope you got what you came for. Pics to be posted and linked to this thread

    Thanks again

    John
    hold me back !!

    Thanks to you and your team, John. It was another excellent do. It ticked all the boxes for me - very agreeable company, loads of quality guns and some really rare items. Amongst the latter I include decent, sensibly priced burgers and sausages.

    I just hope someone took the opportunity to photograph a pair of Military patterns together. They were, respectively, the very first and second I'd ever seen. I'm not holding my breath until I see another.

    Thanks again, Mick

    Big thanks from me as well to John (pennineway) and Chris (formerly HWVixen of this parish) as they are the driving force behind this event's inception and organisation.

    Some very nice airguns and associated equipment on show today. IMO the quality of guns offered is going up, with very few "project guns" (ugly, rusted clunkers with bits missing) turning up but a good selection of well presented guns and some real rarities.

    The mustachioed one has forwarded a few photos he took. I'm only the messenger so don't shoot me, I'm confident that subsequent submissions will be of greater artistic merit. You be the judge.

    Four more first timers travelled down from Warrington, was worth the trip, got a couple of nice pistols and a scope, thanks for organising it and providing snacks at reasonable prices. Staff at Budgens very helpful with parking too! Rather hot and sweaty though, any chance of some fans next year!! Glad I am young & nimble, as needed to squat down to see the price tags on most stalls, just a thought for the older or disabled shooters amongst us. Hope you beat last year's fundraising total.

    Hi Matt,

    What calibre is your newly aquired Bemjamin 'Rocket' ? I have a 262 (.22) and am very pleased with the way it performs. I also have the equivalent Crosman 150 and apart from the greater shot count possible due ti it's use of the larger 12grm Co2 capsule, have found little to choose between them.

    Regards

    Brian
