Autumn Bash 16th and 17th September 2023

[Trumpetier]

Will anyone have a chrono at the bash, I've had a couple of spurious readings with H&N plinking pellets, a new 5.5 BSA barrel and my Airforce one chrono.

I will.

Thanks Dave We'll put this Meteor to the test.

[TonyL]

I’m continuing to do well thanks Tone, I don’t need a walking stick around the house now but take it with me when I go out and about. I drove for the first time since the op a couple of days ago which was all fine. However, I’m not sure how I’ll be on a long drive as my leg does stiffen up when I’ve been sat down for a while. I’m going to drive to Cheltenham on Monday for my 6 week post-op appointment with the Consultant, that’ll be about a 45mins journey. Let’s see how I go. I’m holding back on committing to The Bash due to it being a 2.5/3 hour drive. I’m also still unsure if camping is a wise move or not at this stage.

Cheers John, you are right of course and I do have a tendency to push things a bit when I really shouldn’t as it will only put me back. I’ll see how I am much nearer the time and I’ll try and be sensible and give it a miss if I’m not fully ready.

Great to hear of your continuing progress, Pauly. Let's hope the drive and appointment tomorrow all goes well.

Of course, we all want our Pauly to be at The Bash. And I bet you're gagging for it. But you're right. If you're not ready and it's too much of an ask to your continuing recovery and long term health, don't you be pushing it too far.

Is anyone welcome? Me and my niece were thinking of coming for sat/sun. She will be with her HW100 though.

You will be more than welcome

Indeed. As Dave says, you and your niece will be more than welcome. And all types of gun are allowed as long as they're sub-12 rifles and sub-6 pistols.

You'll love it.

Thirteen little sleepies to go, peeps.

BOING!

[TonyL]

I was up at 07:30 . I wake up with a stiff one these days mate (leg that is) so I get up and get moving about.

[TonyL]

Bloody traffic
There wasn't any on the M25 so I am at Kempston half an hour early!

Hope you're having a wonderful time there, Pete.

[TonyL]

Did you buy anything, Pete?

[TonyL]

Just twelve to go now, peeps.

BOING!

[MikeHW45]

Not long to go now!!!! I'm going to isolate between now and then to ensure i don't get struck down with covid this time lol!!!

[TonyL]

Yes, you do just that, Mikey. We certainly don't want you getting struck down with this poxy, horrible virus again. I'm sure I heard the other day on the news that there are some vigorous new variants out there that they're watching closely, but it can go and do one for now and stay well away!

Are you aiming to get there on the Thursday?

[TonyL]

Blimey.....and when I say "the Thursday", that's NEXT THURSDAY! So only a week and a bit away! Wow!

So very nearlier, nearly there!

Hopefully those numbers shoot up and the thread usually starts to get busier around now up until about the Thursday.

We're getting so, so close. Wonder if this week's scorchio conditions continue?...

This time next week I’ll be driving up through France. I haven’t even chosen a gun to bring yet!?

[flyingfish]

I didn't find anything at Kempton that I had to have
Lot's of nice things but nothing really grabbed me
I told Craig that he could borrow one of my guns if he couldn't find time to put his back together
I have found a .25 mk 1 meteor with a bent barrel and dodgy spring. Anyone got a broken scope to top it off?

Yay! Just grab a few, Nick.
