Spring Bash May 17th and 18th May 2025

[TonyL]

Oh yes indeedy, the weather is looking fantastic still for the entire Bash.

Awesome; Neil's done it again!

[Waddy]

There's the slightest of chances that I might get over on Saturday Paul but it is very slight.

Fingers crossed.

It's still a chance, and a chance is a possibility, and possibilities can happen

And a nice splash of Summery, Sunny splashy colour!

BOING!

[Waddy]

That little selection of pellets should be good for the '100, Paul.

I hope you get to the bottom of the '35's accuracy issues. Investigating any issues possibly caused by the silencer and cleaning the barrel are good ideas. Are your latch solid, hinge bolt correctly tensioned and barrel crown okay?

The new tent sounds much more fit for purpose and should deliver luxurious accommodation for the weekend.

Latch seems solid, hinge bolt seems good, but not sure about the crown . The mod is fixed on with more than the little grub screw underneath, loctite ? I would expect the crown to be OK as someones done a good job of shortening the barrel. The mod is has a 6.5mm hole at the end which may be a bit tight, & it does seem like its the baffle that I'm seeing down the barrel.

The new tent should be luxury after the old one esp for my back, & I've got a new sleeping mat too, self inflating foam rather than an air bed that goes flat over night.

[Waddy]

Got a new cool box, looks like I'll need it

Two sleeps

Now there's an idea Dave ! I wonder if there's anywhere selling chilled beer near the bash (and maybe ice)

Yep, sounding more and more like it will be the silencer that is causing the issue, Paul. It'd be lovely if you can manage to remove it (heat required?) and give it a try without it fitted.

Tent sounds wonderful.

I wonder if Neil can come to some arrangement with the local pub?

[TonyL]

Anyone heard from Terry recently?

[TonyL]

And is that deviant, look no hands, coming?

I've just seen there is a Tesco express on the road into Melton Mowbray, they'll probably have a drinks chiller. I went in my local petrol station shop last night & saw boxes of beer in a chiller & a light bulb lit up in my head

Just need a cool box now, I think my local tesco do them

Halfords had some electric cool boxes on special the other day ?.
Might be worth a look?

Something has cropped up at home and unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make The Bash this time.

Cheers Les, but I already gave in to laziness & ordered one off amazon, just a bog standard one as it won't get that much use. Probably won't care what temp the beer is once I've started to work my way through them anyway
