7th and 8th April 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[tinbum]

How are we feeling today, peeps?

RAF! This cold has knocked me for six.
On the plus side I just got a text from my little bruvva, he's in Korea and getting married tomorrow. He's just told me I'm going to be an Uncle in August!
The medical staff can't legally say whether its a boy or girl, but the nurse said she could "see a missile!"

That runs in the family then!

Hey All,

Short time lurker, first time poster.

My name is Ross and I am new to the sport and to this forum. The more I shoot, the more I find how awesome the community is!

I met a fellow forum member at my range last week and told me to take a look at this forum, well advised on his part!

Is an event like this open to new guys like me? Something like this would be a treasure trove of advice, stories and tips so would hate to miss out.

I can't imagine a better way to spend the weekend.

I have a few rifles (.177 springer (not sure, It's borrowed from the old man), .22 break-barrel (BSA Supersport), .22 pcp (H100KT Lam)) Would I be OK to bring them?
Having never been to an event like this, what sort of bits and pieces would you recommend bringing along for a weekend of shooting and camping in a field?

[Mole trapper]

Hiya Ross! you would be made very welcome whether you are new on here or a veteran.
I guarantee that if you go and get involved you will have a blast.
Normal camping kit for staying in a field with just running water and portaloos.
Waterproof boots/wellies.
Mick and Shirl fire up the BBQ and do hot drinks.
Come on over, you know it makes sense! k

Most welcome, but whatever happens decline all requests to sit on gwynns knee. I've never been the same since I did it and the wife, dont ask.

Wet wipes come in handy I'm told.

In answer to a few of your questions:
Name badges are provided by Mick (it helps, even if it's just to look at my reflection and remember who I am)
Nothing broken with your post
A transit van full sounds just cosy. Beware of Trumpetier when you open your van doors, he'll talk you into selling anything you don't want to
According to TonyL, there's never a bad time to say 'BOING'
Hope you enjoy it.

Absolutely brilliant stuff, Bluefan, and a very warm welcome aboard.

Be great to meet you.

And, like Mark (CapitalBee) says, BOINGS are good. You simply can't have too many BOINGS and any time is a good time to go BOING!!!!!!!!

BOING!

The payment details are on the first page of this thread. Mick (T20, whose the landowner and organiser and all round good egg) needs firm numbers and payment to help with insurance cover (which is included in the fee). Everyone brings their air rifles, from bog standard low budget rifles to re-engineered top end stuff, most of which is offered for a shot if you are interested enough. You generally have a lot of experienced air gun tuners present, who are happy to discuss improvements and add to that more targets than you could shake a stick at from 15-75 yards (under partial cover) and a good weekend is on the cards. There are even impromptu visits up to Solware on the Saturday, if you're in the market for new stuff or just forgot to bring enough pellets.

PS, bring any airguns as long as they are not on fac.
Warm clothes that your not worried about getting burnt or muddy.
Alcohol, lots of alcohol (not compulsory)

That's where I went wrong, I thought the alcohol was compulsory and was a teetotaller before my first Bash. Now I have it on my cornflakes.
