I'll be there on the Saturday for the arms fair in the pavilion and to generally scope the joint. If I like what I see I'll probably shoot next year. How big is the arms fair? How many stalls are we talking about?

I am going from Friday night to Sunday to hopefully say hello to a few people and not spend too much money! Dave, I will pop along and hand your books back (they are already packed in the car!) thank you.
Is there a preferred watering hole for the evenings? :cheers:

Bugger...
Just looking on the Bisley Arms Fair website, which I would like to point out, exhibits stunning 1982 web technology, there only seem to be 22 stands... Surely there must be more than that?

I shall be there all weekend (friday/saturday/sunday) as I am shooting in the .303 classes.
I can be found in the Surrey RA most evenings (it is the preferred watering hole at Bisley) and lunchtimes (the food is good value for money). Maybe some of you will pop round for a beer or three.

We will be there at the Shooting SHED stand which will be on the other side of the road to the Pavilion if the booking has gone to plan
As we are there for all three days and will not be straying far all are welcome to pop over any time of the day or evenings so if you can see us call in.
Meaty, it will be good to meet up again, I assume you are leaving the baby sitter at home?

Between shooting and stocking up on supplies, I'll be spending some time at the Puker Bundhooks and SHED stalls, and hope to meet some FB'ers old and new...
...I'm definitely up for a few beers on the Saturday evening...Adam, are you up for a couple of wee drams again this meeting?

Trying to decide if its worth driving from Kent for the day just to look around, and try to find some cheap 7.62x51 ammo.

John as you know it would have a highlight of our trip, but unfortunately due to the greatly increased costs in attending it is no longer cost effective for me to take a stall at Bisley.
Have a few nippy sweeties for Kay and myself. :cheers:
