    Hi Jim

    Don't you dare move over here !!

    There's me been thinking that a trip to your side of the pond might find a friend in town, and you talk of emigrating. Doh

    Seriously (who said I wasn't), pleased to hear that you enjoyed the visit and the weather. If you'd stayed until this evening, you'd probably have seen the 'missing' rain. We have weather (flood) warnings all over the place - south west, south east and home counties (a band across UK, to north of London) - for the next 24-48 hours.

    Hi all
    some mighty fine shooting coming in!
    Unless I have missed it, Pagoda has not yet submitted a score for May, I stand to be corrected but have double checked back through the threads and unless I overlooked it I cannot see a submission.
    He could of course be holding us all in suspense until the midnight hour!

    I will be away FT'ing tomorrow so will not get to do a final update until mid afternoon, when I will announce another small surprize. ( don't get too excited, it's nothing major).


    Scores on site updated.

    regards

    All the best with your FT'ing, Mr G.

    Hopefully for you you're not doing as I shall, dragging yourself out of bed at 5am, to go and set up the course

    My club is hosting its first ever 'full blown' HFT comp next Sunday, and we've GOT to have a proper go tomorrow at getting it all sorted.

    For same reason as you, I shall therefore NOT be watching this thread at the bewitching hour.

    Biggles (excited in spite of your attempt to suggest that a new 'surprise' is nothing to get excited about )

    Well thats it, I hope it was enjoyable and would like to thank you for taking part.
    The results are as follows
    RESULTS

    1st Biggles 1032

    2nd Pollydog 976 (Excluded from prizes)

    3rd Derekm 955

    4th Snooper601 888

    Recoiling

    1st John2 794

    2nd Pete2 741

    John offered a prize for the best recoilng total score and excluded himself from winning hence it will pass to Pete.

    The "little surprize" I mentioned previously is hinted at above. I have decided to give a little something to 2nd and 3rd places, as I exclude myself from prizes it means 3rd place passes to Snooper601.
    So if Biggles, Derekm and Snooper601 would kindly email there postal address I will get prizes sent out.
    Biggles I need your address to send you a voucher that I will now organise with Ramsbottoms.

    Well done and thank you to all those who took part. Next competition starts now, scores to be submitted by June 24th 12pm midnight UK time at latest.

    Same targets, same rules, but this will be your best 5 scores from 6, so you have the option of a month off if required.

    Prize for 1st place will be a "Sterling silver handmade curb t-bar bracelet" made by me, weighing ahefty 31grams and (if the pictures work) similar to the one pictured.

    Absolutely what that man said - thrice over - specially the bit about all Graeme's work

    email on its way to you Graeme - please let me know if it DOESN'T arrive soon. Been having all sorts of probs with Orange account, sometimes unable to send at all, sometimes appears to 'go' but doesn't always arrive at @hotmail addresses.

    With the uncertainty at Dukinfield AGC (where the club premises are under threat) and preparation for Capesthorne and Tatton car shows, I missed the deadline. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to Graeme for organising things.

    Well, Biggles, I'm here in the US for the next 3 years + for sure, until I can retire, so you're welcome to visit anytime till then.

    Weird about the UK's flooding: it happened after we left, and New Orleans flooded while we were gone. Great timing on our part!
