Autumn Bash 16th and 17th September 2023

[TonyL]

Cheers lads. It’s all you guys I’ll miss as opposed to the fortune I’ll save in pellets (as Pete says above) .I’ve been in turmoil deciding. Reading the preparation and travel plans over the coming days will be tough.

Thats a real bummer mate but the right decision to be honest. Come the first bash next year and you'll be well sorted!!!

Sorry to hear that you won’t make this Bash.
Get yourself sorted and we will see you in 2024 .

Les..

As others have said Paul, your health is the most important thing.
You will enjoy he next Bash twice as much.
Speedy recovery and see you then.

Exactly this, Pauly. I know you were so looking forward to being able to make this one, but you'll be with us in spirit and we'll all be willing on that first Bash of '24 so we can see you again. Take good care matey.

Well it's Bash eve, come on

Is Bongo coming ?

Absolutely brilliant for you, Dave. Are you mostly sorted and ready?

I hope Steve does join us again.

Lol I've got stuff all over the place. It will be panic stations tonight as usual

However I have had my hair cut already

[TonyL]

Haha!

Excellent stuff.

I'm sure you'll be all sorted and fine having completed these preparations so many times before, Dave. I bet you could even do it in your sleep.

And just three sleeps for the Saturday peeps.

BOING!

OMG
I have to pack tomorrow!
This is where I set a world record for forgetting things

Just don't forget to bring yourself, Pete.

Anything else you can work around!

At the bare minimum, one sorted rifle, pellets and your wallet with cards / cash for fuel and provisions.

Anything above and beyond this is a bonus and will add to your experience.

Anyways, you're a dab hand at this now so I know you'll arrive much better equipped than the basic "entry level" described above.

I managed to shoehorn a little bit of time in yesterday to check the stock & scope fasteners on the Predator and TX (yes, TX! D'ya know, it must be 2017 when it last had a play?!?:) and a quick five shots each down the hallway to make sure all okay. So they'll be coming along plus the Ratty again (now with red dot re-fitted) and rough-as-a-badger's backside Supersport.

Can't wait!

[TonyL]

BOING!!!!!

[flyingfish]

Glued the last of the lego men to their bases last night
One has your name on Tony (more than one if your TX performs)

[baldinio]

Sorry to hear you’re not going to make it Paul. We will miss you x

[tinbum]

A last minute wanted post!!

Does anyone have any nailgun cartridges? Hilti, Spit, Ramset etc? I need some to test a theory……

[flyingfish]

I should have some with me
At a Bash discount too

I've changed my car since the last Bash and the storage isn't as big in this one so I'm bringing less stuff than usual but I've put everything in barring the guns and a few other bits. It's going to be tight but I'm hoping it will fit.
I should be there around lunchtime, can't wait.

All the camping gear takes up most of the room I’ve found ldconfused.
What car did you decide on Gary ? .

Well it's Bash eve, come on

Unfortunately I have far too much work on at the moment. A national turf supplier has just given me my biggest job ever to start over the weekend.
