cheers

[8x57]

Of course there's room sika seeker.
We haven't set the date yet other than probably in June. I've had very little in the way of suggestions regarding dates so it looks like I will just have to go ahead and arrange it then. I'll have a word with Macberran and we'll set the date.

 

[sika seeker]

8x56,

cheers!
looking forward already, just hope the dates are good.

 

[8x57]

Yet to be confirmed but the dates that I am currently working on are the weekend of Saturday Sunday 18th June / Sunday 19th June. Also the actual venue still has to be confirmed but we are looking at an outdoor range this year if possible.

 

[macberran]

Sounds ok to me Mike, speak later in the week.

 

[buckup]

Mike you are a GEM. That is the only weekend I have free in june, TOP MAN! I'm sure Chas Gyr will be keen to come too, I'll bounce the dates off him to see. Any help you need just ask. I'll do what I can.
Cheers,
Mark

[rohroh]

Mike,
Can you put my name on the list too please?

I'll hopefully get around to arranging the prize from last years do, before this one...

 

[straightbetweentheeyes]

hi 8x57,
i would be interested in coming if there is room available? also if you are still looking for an outdoor range then the shop i use, the gloucestershire gun company have a good outdoor range?

regards, Jez.

 

[8x57]

rohroh and straightbetweentheeyes I have added you both to the list of those interested and will send you a pm later today along with everyone else who is interested.
We were looking at a possible outdoor range but there were one or two potential issues with access that could cause problems so the shoot will again be on the tunnel range at Monmouth. Using a range further afield such as at the Gloucestershire gun company (if it were available) would cause me some logistical problems and also would incur cost, where as the range at Monmouth will be free of charge and will definitely be available.
In recent months there have been some significant changes at Monmouth and access to the range has been greatly improved by the council clearing their depot. The old club house buildings are due for removal at the end of the month and a brand spanking new club house should be ready for delivery in the next week to ten days. What I have decided to do this year is to hold the "competition " on Sunday 19th June but also to have a practise / zeroing session / fun shoot on Saturday afternoon (18th June) for those that want to make a weekend of it. That way anyone staying over can swap lies /shooting stories and have a few beers.

Macberran has just informed me that he and his family have made the same very generous offer this year as they did last year, in that all proceeds from accomodation at their self catering cottage occupied by site members that week-end will be donated to H4H. The cottage is about 10 minutes from the range. The cottage sleeps three.
The bad news is that a pig may not be ready for the hog roast in time, however the good news is a Hebridean lamb will be. So it will be lamb rolls with mint sauce this year instead.
