    A big thanks to Mick and Shirl for all the work making these great events possible.
    As usual, we've had a great time and I really enjoyed Graeme's strumming on his guitar.
    There were some really nice set-ups there again and that 77 of Rikard's, WOW!
    All things being well we wil see you all at the next one.
    Once again, thank you very much.

    Just finished cleaning my rifles after a great day with truly great friends. It was my first day out in 12 weeks and I’ve had a brilliant time.
    Thanks to everyone who makes it happen, most of all Mick and Shirl (get yourself well soon, Mick).

    All the best, Craig.

    I’ve been up to my ears in boxes and crates which I’ve been unpacking all day. My gun cupboard is well tidy and looking good , it also has space for additions . Just sat down and poured a Brandy and Coke - Kerchink ! Cheers Lads - wish I was there but you’re all in my thoughts, have a great night.

    First time up, Only a day trip this time, Great site and very friendly bunch, Great to meet Graeme (who's been telling me to go up for the last 2 years or so), The only downside was having to leave for the trip home when I was just settling in and getting to know a few people and hitting targets, Only took me about 300 shots to finally get the bucket (what d'ya expect, I'm an indoor target shooter, we don'y do wind) Thanks Mick for making me welcome, I will be back but next time with more guns & more importantly with beer and a tent.

    Although a Bash is always wonderful, some friends were, sadly, missing and sorely missed. Sorry you couldn't make this one, Phil; the Sunday afternoon "chill plink" just won't be the same. Hope all is okay with you.

    I'm also thinking I will take the inforced lay up to clear out the dumping shed and create a bit of workshop space where in my own quirky fashion I can bugger up previously good working airguns.
    And try and make a knife, always wanted to do that.
    You and the girlies were most definitely missed, Jamie. Hope you're okay?

    Although things are so tough for you at this present time, it was evident that the Bash was doing you the power of good yesterday, Craigy. It can't make anything go away but being able to switch off from it all amongst good friends in a field with boingery toys helps to provide that little therapeutic zone.

    Great to see you.

    Great to see you.
    Absolutely, mate. I came home to news of John not being in a good state again (serious infection is making him very ill) but I actually felt refreshed from my day out and more prepared to handle it.
    Likewise, mate - I hope you’re healing and your weekend is a good one spent in good company.
    Despite building a few rifles up, my interest in air rifle shooting had dissipated a bit lately and I had considered selling the lot - but after playing with a few toys at the bash I’m back in the zone and already have a new winter project in mind.
    So thanks again to all my mates for their company and kind words. I’ll hopefully see you at the next one.

    I also have a load of junk clogging up workshop space that you could use. I'll see you soon.....
    A very kind offer, thank you nick. 👍

    Looking like you have some decent weather up there today at last. Have a great day everyone and a safe uneventful drive home.
    We hope to see you all in November.

    What a day! as ever, whenever I think it can't be bettered - it gets better. Started by thinking I would go away forever unsatisfied after seeing some of Les's amazing guns, but feel better now that, at last, I have a 124 to play with (a bit to do, but it will be fun). Thanks to everyone who let me play, or increased my knowledge base, and biggest thanks to Mick and Shirl for continuing to make it all possible.

    Thanks so much to Mick and Shirl for yet another fantastic bash (my fourth). We are indeed a lucky group of people to have these superb hosts who's utterly selfless attitude leads to such an amazing weekend. Also thanks to everyone who attends the bash. You are all superb friends to have and i'm looking forward to catching up with you all again in the coming weeks!!!! To those who couldn't make it, get yer butts in gear and get to the next one and Jamie...….get well soon mate and make Steve work super hard for you while he's down. Hopefully see you and Mel at the next one!!!!!! NewPaul…..unfortunately we didn't get to the canal with the magnet and grappling hook as it was bloody cold and windy and after all, the expert wasn't with us to guide us . I hope you're getting things sorted!!!
