Doncaster Airgun Range Meet Up; Sat 18 Jan 2025

[TonyL]

MARSH from Huthwaite, Sutton in Ashfield, Notts, added to the list.

Look forward to meeting you.

[TonyL]

I'd be up for a Saturday afternoon or two at Donny, either as a few of us booking lanes or as a bigger venture booking half the range again.

Not surprised they have a really good selection of pellets, there looks to be stacks of them in the pics on the website.

Quite enigmatic update on the AM03 Tony.

Cheers, Paul.

I'll struggle to do many Saturdays as it's our busiest day. When I asked the manager about taking the Saturday off for this one, he was really good about it. But I wouldn't want to start taking the pee and asking for too many Saturdays off, especially with being the "new boy". All the team are really good, too, so I wouldn't want to disrupt anything there.

If I can squeeze a visit or two in occasionally, great. But they'd be mostly mid week.

This wouldn't stop you peeps sorting something though, so fill yer boots if you can!

[TonyL]

Same mate. Really looking forward to the January meet up, but I'd like to get there before then if possible. I did book a lane a couple of months ago but had to cancel, and it seems such a great facility almost on our doorstep.

It most certainly IS a great facility, Paul; you'll love it.

And I just know you'd be making repeat visits.

[TonyL]

I'm up for a Saturday afternoon, not for the next couple of Saturdays though as I've a big DIY job on that needs to see some movement. Is your work schedule fixed enough so that you know which Saturdays in Oct / Nov you have got free Paul ?


.

........Although I have a few days' holiday booked in late October......if there's a Saturday amongst those that aligns with your visit, it might happen (subject to 'er indoors' plans).

[TonyL]

Bugger, I forgot to buy a ticket 108 million is cheap for an enchanted rifle, but don't tell my missus.

I do the postcode lottery though, I am the only person on the street who does,so if my postcode comes up it's all mine. I think you are driving me into a gambling problem to secure the only rifle I can not only hit things with, but do so with an ease that Quigley himself would be envious of.


.

If we have a twiddle with the turrets whilst Pete isn't looking, you could use this loss of accuracy as a bargaining point and get it for far less.

Ssssshhhhh, though.

[TonyL]

If I win the £108 million tonight I meet even buy it back (plus a range to shoot it on).

My +2 has now become a +1. Andy's daughter is having a birthday but Martin is still coming as a day visitor.

Mmmm......just think.....an indoor 50 yards range at home, with full on bar and games room facility adjoined.

Attendance list updated, Gary.

[TonyL]

I've put it on but the most I've won on euro millions is about £2.73, so it's unlikely I'll be able to buy it for you pal.

Depends on how successful the turret twiddling goes, Paul.

Ssshhhh, though, remember, mum's the word.

[TonyL]

If you want to earn some brownie points and let the Mrs have a lazy morning you can always get a lift with us, I’m probably literally around the corner from you

That sounds like it could be a plan; thank you.

I'd be travelling light anyway (probably just the one rifle and ammo box), so wouldn't take up much space.

We'll sort nearer the time; thank you.

[TonyL]

Do you realise that every time you go over a bump you will hear Tony say "BOING".

Who needs bumps?

BOING!

[TonyL]

Good, I need some support to convert my work mate from a non springer owner to an addict

We'll try our best.

[TonyL]

Yes, they have air tanks there - free filling, I feel guilty when I fill the Rapid 7 up

What's not to like?.......

Free top-ups for the PCPs, sample pellets to test prior to purchase, pellets, scopes and other accessories to buy, drinks and light snacks available, indoors and away from potential inclement weather in a friendly, safe, inclusive environment amongst like-minded enthusiasts, run by a top shooter who is so down to earth and friendly and willing to share his experience so willingly and his lovely partner........the place is a winner!

I guarantee anyone visiting for the first time will want to re-visit.

BOING!

[TonyL]

Do you realise that every time you go over a bump you will hear Tony say "BOING".

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, there's a wonderful BOING you can share.....!!!

Ssssshhhhh, though.

True, you could knock me down to £100m

[Hellequin]

True, you could knock me down to £100m

Well I only won £5.60, so I'm not chuffin buying it
