Shame I'll miss but I've something far better to look forward to, I'm have my toenails slowly torn off with a pair of rusty pliers.

You all have a nice time now you hear.

Dromia, can I come and watch, it sure will beat getting pushed past stalls full of nameless 'bargains'

The pair of you

Yeah the shooting show is terrible - totally hate it when I find things there that rfd's aren't advertising elsewhere for some reason like - oooh Dragunov's for instance that I bought last time out

I'm hoping when I go to Harrogate they totally don't have any FAL's/L1A1's/Lithgows that I totally don't want - bloody shows!

Joking aside - if I can go on a friday and get in and out quick - that suits me, but like a lot of yer I work for meself so no work no pay

Wait, do we hate BASC now as well as the NRA?

I'll be going as

a) it's close-ish
b) I like having a fondle and furtle of rifles and shotguns; and
c) it's better than a four-year-olds' birthday party which is the alternative.

Drat the same time as the BAES Inter-Factories competition using issued RG :-) as winners of both long & short range in 2015 i think we had better be at Bisley defending it.

The North Herts Rifles aka 'MBDA RC' (no icon for missiles?)

Hate BASC? I am a Trade Member however I stopped going to big shows after Stoneleigh Park where I literally did get pushed from stand to stand by a wave of people three deep. I much prefer and continue to attend the smaller shows.

The BASC comment was meant in a light hearted way, I should probably have used a smiley face :)

I don't think anyone knows what to expect numbers-wise for this as it's an unknown quantity. We're not spoilt for choice up here so I'll be going anyway, and I hope it goes well (but not too well!)
