I'm pretty sure Papa Cleary and Clez were due to arrive on the Thursday, Pauly; can't remember if Papa said if springer monkey would be along on the day also, or later? Jamie'll be there, won't here? Unframed Dave?
And, although I can't be there in person, I'll most certainly be with you boys in spirit matey.

I bought some in .22 flavour recently to put in my display cabinet, just to add to the collection
Over the last few years I've also bought a few tins in .25 for my BSA Supersport and the pellets do indeed look a bit 'rough'
There's bits of swarf and debris in the tin, and once l've put them through a pellets sizer to suit the BSA barrel, there's even more bits hanging orf
They're OK for short range practice and reliving those halcyon days of Olde, but shopping around, and looking at JSR's website, there's plenty of very reasonable pellets available for not much more and of better quality
I remember buying 500 .177 Marksman in the red cardboard box for 87p from a local sports shop years ago. They grouped quite well in my Mk3 Wobbly Hawk, but Wasps / Pylarms were better

What does a ‘shocking’ looking tin of pellets look like Tone ? As a newbie(ish) I don’t know ?? Bent and ‘damaged’, disformed etc. ?
I’ve got sh1t loads of .22 Superdomes that I don’t use very much so I’ll bring a couple of tins for you (if I flippin remember but.. feel free to remind me by PM)

Well, they look kinda cheap, manky, really thin fragile looking skirts, a very "industrial" looking black colour....kinda cute in some ways as it conjures up images of the "good old days" of the proud Brum tradition and BSA and Webley producing many thousands of guns.....bell target leagues galore, marksmanship being looked on as "a good thing" with potential future wars in mind.....smog, smoke, coal, oil etc etc.......
But things have moved on big time and, as said earlier, Pauly, even 40 odd years ago these were certainly looking second best to the quality brands. Suppose they fulfilled their role in the market place, though.
Talking of which, I'd love to visit Armoury Road one day, matey. I know it'll be nothing like those golden days gone by, but still feel the calling for a pilgrimage. Maybe a few of us ought to try and meet up and do it and then go have a beer?

I'll have to bring some of the offending items to The Hollow, matey, then you can roll about laughing when you see them!
Okay, re The Boinger Boys BSA Blatt, we'll see who's up for it. It'd be great if Uncle Mick's health improves quickly as I'd love it if he could come along. CraigP and Gwyn would, I'm sure, know the area and also know the whereabouts of a decent pub nearby. I'm thinking an older, more traditional pub, if one exists close by? And the more the merrier, as far as I'm concerned. Taking it one stage further, if we had a decent sized posse, I wonder if it would actually be possible to arrange a factory visit / tour?
