Summer Bash 15th and 16th of July

[TonyL]

Can't wait for this one to ping round again, and so hot on the heels of last weekend's glorious Bash.

It'll be fantastic to meet up with the dedicated BoingerPeeps once again and to welcome on board more newbies.

For those that have never visited, please come and try The Boinger Bash. It's a superbly informal, fun and welcoming meet up of like-minded airgun enthusiasts. It's not competitive and it's definitely not cliquey and new visitors receive a genuine, warm welcome.

You can use your airguns on a wide variety of targets displayed at a massive variety of ranges, from 6 yards to 100 plus yards. See and try other people's guns. See and try a massive variety of different ones, from modern super-tuned ones to pre-War classics. Talk airguns and associated subjects all day long all against the very relaxing and picturesque setting that is Quigley Bottom.

Neil and Tina pour in a huge dollop of hard work and dedication to allow these superb meets to happen and for them to run without a hitch. Even down to dishing up the awesome weather we're always greeted with.

The Sleepometer is up and running. See you soon, folks.

47 sleeps to go, peeps.

BOING!

[TonyL]

Yay ! Nice one Neil and thanks again. I will have to see how the old dodgy hip is nearer the time but count me in if all is well.

Fingers crossed, Pauly.

How did the visit on Thursday go, my friend?

[TonyL]

Brilliant

On both counts

And it will be most excellent to see you again, Gav.

[TonyL]

Thank you Neil I've just paid for camping for the Mrs & I plus the dog.

Excellent stuff.

Be great to see you again.

[TonyL]

now just to pay Craig for dog catching services

You coming again, JB? Seem to remember hearing / seeing you could come again?

[TonyL]

Sounds like a cracking event and the weather is on your side for the weekend just a shame its a long way away for me.
Im sure ill be able to read about the event afterwards.

It'd be brilliant if you could make it for one, one day. I know you'd love it.

[TonyL]

Of course I'm in

Coooooolio!

[TonyL]

Payment sent
Going to have to make another batch of homing pellets

Hee, hee! I don't think you'll be requiring any further assistance in the accuracy department, Pete. As always, it'll be awesome to see you again.

[TonyL]

I won't make this due to a new job working Sundays. Are the dates for the Autumn bash known yet?

Be great if you can make the September one.

Fingers crossed, Pauly.

Definitely need a hip replacement Tone. The current wait on NHS is minimum 10 months. Given what happened during Covid (who knows what might come along next), Junior Doctors strikes, general national ‘unrest’, economic downturn etc. etc… that ten months could easily become longer in my mind.
I don’t want to face another four seasons with this pain and more importantly… decreased quality of everyday life, so….. I’ve decided to go private. I’ve got a meeting with the Doc (same specialist I saw on NHS last Thursday) next Monday 5th June at Cheltenham with an estimated
August date for the operation. That’s only nine or ten weeks away

Yes same specialists, going private just jumps the que really. Hope you get it sorted real soon Paul

It does grate having to pay for it having paid NI for over 40 years and ‘jumping the queue’ in front of others who can ill-afford it but I’m only going to get worse over time if I wait and I’ve been in pain for eight months already. My other hip is deteriorating too so I’d best start saving up for that one too now .

You should ask BUPA if they do a BOGOF deal on hips, Pauly.

That would be handy Mick and if they did both at the same time I could get leg extensions
