The objectives are to generate interest in bell target shooting and in our club and also of course to stimulate interest in the hobby of collecting and shooting old air guns.
We will keep the costs low for those attending and prizes will be awarded to the top shooters in the competitions. Those attending can bring their own guns or use our club's guns in the competitions.
We will also stage a bring and buy sale for those attending who only have one or two items to sell
I need to get the blessing from the RBL management and from my local fire arms dept and of course from the National Body who will arrange the insurance.
When I have these, I will post a date for the event on this section of the BBS. Chris H our Chairman/Treasurer who many of you know, will do likewise on the other well known forum.
When we have the permissions Chris and I will also advise regarding costs for use of tables etc. The date for the event will probably be in July/August
I am aware that other BBS members are investigating running another fayre this year and we will try to ensure they do not coincide.
