    I think that on this site we probably have a couple of brickies, a few plumbers a leccy or two maybe even a couple of chippiesand two or more plasterers.

    Pretty sure we even have an architect somewhere, and a lawyer.


    Wonder what we might be able to do with all these fine upstanding people and some funding.... BTW I'm already volunteering as a wood butcher/demolitionist.

    PS wood from up here is a damn sight cheaper than wood from the south n'all.

    All we need is a form of transport, some willing hands, a solid plan and some funds behind us.

    Terry:

    I had a long conversation with John Cooper of Falcon airguns about this,last year.He was hoping to get a side shoot running at the Ukahft events-a computerised knockover course,against the clock,all proceeds going to Stoke.Have you spoken to John recently?

    I am sure that I speak for the other Southern Hunter organisers,when I say that we would be honoured to run a side shoot at the next series-all proceeds going to this worthy cause.

    Let me know what you think,Terry.

    All the best,
    Graham

    I'm happy to pitch in with a pair of hands, a set of tools, a van and a spare seat for another volunteer.

    Kieran,

    Another Sparks eh mate, well that's the wiring sorted.

    If Terry D is still on here, would he mind dropping me a PM about potentially
    getting a crew up to go and help out these fellow shooters?

    You know I can!

    Lets see what Terry comes up with regarding the help required, and see what we can all do.

    As a group, we've done good things for the kids, troops, Ellie May, Charities, lets flex our muscles again, and hopefully have a laugh doing it.

    As a group of people I've found us shooters to be the most driven in reference to helping others. Once agai9n if we could flex our muscles that would be truly fantastic!

    We've got the wrecking crew then!

    Any offers to help with a rebuild?

    If I was to donate a case of 12 cans of moly dry-lube, is there an event that they could be sold at? Since I live in Devon, I guess I'd have to get them shipped to someone who'd be willing to take them along on the day. Any volunteers?

    I'm currently working seven days a week, so won't be able to attend any rounds - hence my offer to ship them to someone who can...

    I can hear the Magnificant Seven music staring in the background

    Let's get this done and into a newspaper to highlight the good we can do.
