    Well just thought someone ought to start reply!

    Woohoo!

    Go Team Buxted!

    On a personal note, a couple of years ago things at home went pear shaped and my divorce went thru last August. I want to say something crass about how this has given me plenty of time to practice my shooting. It has of course - but that's not really the point. I'm not the only one in that boat and we all have our experiences. The point is I want to thank all my new HFT friends because you and this fabulous sport are what have helped keep me sane, and given me something to concentrate on. It's gone a long way to help save my mental health I can tell you.
    So, thanks for putting up with me guys!

    Big thanks to all the clubs that put on all series and everyone who helps setting up and taking down. It takes a lot of effort and time and we are all grateful.

    See you (or not) in the dark at Oaks or Buxted.

    Regards,

    RogGriffin

    I'll follow that up with a bloody well done to you and the other Buxted boys and girls. Well deserved individual and team Win
    When one of your members scored a 56 and was not on your team score! Wow!
    Also well done Jean, Abby, Wes (yeah go Oakies), Nick and Gary on class winning performances.
    Also a begrudgingly well done to the Meon massive for relegating us to 3rd
    Best series in the World? Probably Best bunch of people to spend a Sunday morning with? Definitely!

    Hasn't got a scope on it yet so I might struggle a bit

    I will probably find myself at Ford setting it up tomorrow, but thanks for the invite There is so much to adjust I don't know where to start

    Still very happy, I have taken a photo of it and given it a wipe down with some nice oil so it will love me.

    Takeaway curry for dins tonight so best I am given plenty of space tomorrow

    Hi Roger,

    You words echo excatly what I have gone through and I couldn't agree with you more.

    If it wasn't for the guys at Meon, espicaly a couple of them that (whether they know it or not) stepped up and help save my sanity (and they wern't the only ones) there's one special lady who has been of great support, who I would have never had met if I wasn't involved in our fantastic sport, making the friends that I have, then I have no idea of where I would have ended up.

    "HFT help's keep me sane" ...... now theres a statment that I never thought i'd see!

    I so agree with both Roger and Mike. If I didn't have HFT and all the fabulous friends I have made over the years, I really don't know how I would have coped!
    It's given me a focus when I thought I had nothing. So thank you to all of you for being there for me!! x

    hi Jean, I have to say that I have a perfect example of that as I had my hernia operation yesterday and because of my low oxygen levels the did it with a spinal block. Danny Rolf insisted that I need someone to give me a lift home from the hospital instead of getting a cab. He told me that that he would collect me and make sure I got home safely because I live in a second floor flat. The hospital told me that he should get there for 1 pm but as they gave the spinal block my legs didnt come back to life until about 7pm. I couldn't pass urine because i had no feeling anywhere and when I went to rip off the paper knickers I had to wear for the op and use the bed bottle. I didnt know they had already been removed and that paper I tried to pull off was actually my penis which was also paralysed. Danny was awesome and just sat with me all the time and when I had a go standing I nearly passed out with pain, the paracetamol clearly wasn't enough and the nurse gave me morphine. When the nurse realised that no body was going to be staying with me she said no way can we release you as you are in no shape to be left alone. Danny just stepped up and said he would stay at my flat with me and make sure I was settled before he left this morning. What a awesome friend and his lovely missus whos never met me just made me a great stew, treacle pudding and changed her plans so Danny could stay with me and kept me safe.

    I am so grateful and your post reiterates how wonderful the HFT fraternity are, I could never imagined that this is how we look after each other when I took up shooting about 4 years ago just because it is a sport that introduced me to people who didnt always drink or take drugs cos I had a mental break down about ten years ago and spent a couple of years homeless even though I had given up drinking. In fact so many lovely HFT people have turned my life around from the battle to find excuses not to top myself. Thanks for having me
    Does anyone know how to contact doughnuts Anonymous cos I just cant seem to give them up and may be a 0 addict

    Rex's hernia!

    As we all know, there are a few truly fantastic people in the HFT world!!
    Danny is definitely one of them - always a guy who will do anything for anyone, and loves the sport that is HFT.
    Glad you had him with you Rex, and well done Danny on your caring, helpful attitude. We all know Rex needs a lot of caring!!!!!!!!!
    Get well soon Rex and come and show the others how to shoot springers!!!!!!!!!!
    Not forgetting the others who will give you any help if you ask for it!!!!! x
