Halloween Boinger Bash 2018 --- Event and Payment Details

[CapitalBee]

Boxing day, sort of appealing. It'll give me the opportunity to wear my Christmas pressie thermals, along with 17 other layers.

I had a great time as usual at the 20th Boinger Bash.
It was nice meeting up with the regulars and new attendees .
I had a play with some cracking guns,Mick's two FWB target rifles a 300s and 601 ssp are utterly superb and where great on the bell target. Craig p and Bad Daz springers where a joy to shoot and Alanok2002 's target rifle's and pistol where very nice as was the Bsa brake action rifle.I had another play with TonyL's Kestock predator.
A Big Thanks to Mick and Shirl for another great Boinger Bash.

Hey Les, couple of things:-

Did you pursue the Theoben adaptor with Michael Tawn?

Also, when we were chatting with Daz, you'd mentioned about a cheaper automatic watch and then we got kinda side tracked. The one I wear is a Seiko 5. The Mrs bought me it a couple of years ago. Leading up to that it was looking like automatics were all around the £300+ mark for starters. Then I came across these. I price-checked it on-line and then a local shop price matched it. I think she'll have paid around the £60 mark. No doubt they'll be a little bit more now. It loses about a minute a week, but no big deal as I prefer to wear a mechanical thing with little springs inside it and it "feeds" from the movement of my arm when cocking and firing a Boinger!

Blow the turkey sandwich, I will bring a haunch of venison, truffles, champagne and canapes 🤫

Top job!

I've not eaten any Bambi for years!

[TonyL]

Good question, but I think Alan is looking for an excuse to get his fairy suit out again.

Who's dressing as Santa this year !!!
Jonny

Ooh, Al's looking most fetching in that little outfit.

As for Santa......well, he is Saint Nick, in'it? Just be careful where you go emptying the contents of your sack, Nick!

I've not eaten any Beaver for years!

If previous years are anything to go by, Mark, it'll be milder at Christmaa than it was this weekend!

[TonyL]

Lol!

You wouldn't be tempted either, Mick, knowing what's on offer here!

[TonyL]

Sorry i missed this one.....i forgot it was in October

BBF

Never mind, Ray.....just bring Christmas cake and mince pies on Boxing Day. A bit of Stilton and port'll be nice, too!

Uncle Mick; what an absolutely beautiful pair of rifles you have there. Exquisite, precision engineering of the highest order.

And I must thank Blackmax (Andy) once again for the stunning 300s, reblued by Colin Malloy, with the stock and action reconditioned by Andy --- it's like having a brand new gun.

I may yet take a smidge off the breech seal to make closing the cocking arm a little easier.

I watched as Les picked up my 602 and proceeded to ring the bell target on his first two shots --- so not much wrong with that gun.


Anyway, I've spent most of the day sorting Quigley Hollow out, and now it's all packed away for the winter and I'll be putting the Shetlands back into the campsite tomorrow.


All the best Mick

Careful with the ponies, Mick.

Dave didn't drive home yesterday. He's having a couple of extra nights in the Premier Inn and will be calling in tomorrow!

I nearly forgot, a hearing aid was found on Sunday --- so if anyone has lost one, PM me and I'll get it back to you.


All the best Mick

Hi Tony
I haven't phoned Michael Tawn yet, but will mate.
Regarding the Automatic watch, I will give them a look Tony.
I have a nice automatic but wouldn't wear it at work so a cheaper one would be better.

Thanks again Mick for letting me loose with your lovely FWB 300s and 602 rifles.
My personal favourite being the 300s,but the 602 was on another level.
