  22. Parcels for troops in Afghanistan.

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I don't want to poo on anyone’s parade but you are sailing close to the wind here by publishing someone’s service number, name and address on a public forum. I am coming to the end of a 28 year career in the forces and would not be happy for this amount of detail to be published (does he even know?).

     

    If you send parcels without a named person on the address, they wont be sent as they could be suspect parcels (all the Afghan mail ends up at Mill Hill and the military then send it to Afghanistan so won't send them without a name). However, sending to one person like this is not recommended either as there is no mention of when he returns to the UK, ie the end of his tour. When he returns, the BFPO will have to redirect these comfort parcels back to where he is based as it is assumed they are personally for him.

     

    To be honest, if you wish to send them out to guys that don’t get mail (and there are loads), then do as Puggers said, you should contact help4heros, parcelsfortroops etc. They have an understanding with Mill Hill who will fill up a plane with these comfort boxes when all the named mail has been sorted. Can you imagine how popular this Sergeant would be if all the mail one day was only for him with no one else getting any because the plane was full?

     

    And before I get slagged off for daring to question what is a genuine offer to help, think of the bigger picture here, his safety is more important than a pack of wet wipes and we are reminded when we go out to these desert tours not to put anything on facebook etc that details who we are or where we are based that can be used against us.

     

    great advice. :good:

  25. rixton clay shoot

    in Clay Pigeon Shooting

    Posted

    Greetings all. I am one of the owner / operators at Rixton and have been there for over 10 years. Safety is paramount and we have 4 CPSA safety officers on site at every shoot.

     

    I cant recall a clay hitting any window whilst ive been at the club as the clays are set up in an area away from the booking office. Maybe that was on another shooting ground or pre my time here.

     

    We are a small freindly shoot with the lowest membership costs in the UK and our member prices for shooting are less than average at any other shoot.

     

    30 bird sporting with fully automatic traps which are different every shoot. Open every other sunday at Morleys lane Astley. M29 7EW.

     

    Next shoot on Sunday 4th November 2012.

     

    welcome to the forum...i am a beginner at clay shooting,but have been shooting rabbits for years on the farms,do you cater for beginners or do i just have a go,i am not after tuition,i was ok at birds going away but crossers and towards me,not a chance...but i did enjoy it...my fac is up in 2 years and i wont be renewing,i hope to spend more time on the clays instead.

     

    cheers
