Catamong Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 unfortunately i have to agree Yes, there has to be a competitive element to it, North V South was a good theme last year, whoever's organising this event is beginning to look like the CPSA Board of Management, i.e. a bit out of touch with their members. It's a pity the only element that's up for debate appears to be the date. Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yep that's it Me and the lad would set me back ermmmm at a guess £250 - £300 notes Be good to see it go into Scotland next year and see how many southerners make that journey I easily did that last year, and yes make next years in scotland. I will be there but the big question is WILL YOU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) No North vs South - NO! The format which was pretty much a winner last time? if enough northerners turn up then why not?. If it aint broke dont fix it! Im in and looking forward also to Scotland next year! Edited January 20, 2011 by Dibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity the only element that's up for debate appears to be the date. Cat. Sorry Cat, I had to correct your post, I am afraid the CPSA are far more in touch with their members than the organisers of this shoot are. I think it is time they started listening instead of treating us like schoolkids on a coach trip. :no: :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 once the date is arranged why don't the furthest northern bods check out cheapie air fares, Down South we have a few nice things called airports, Stanstead and Luton aren't too far from the ground and I'm sure lifts could be organised. For the really tight pseudo northerners who seem to be from arround the Newcastle area flights are possible as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easyjet will and charge an extra £37 for the round trip, carrying ammo is almost a complete no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Once we all accept that we can't shoot it on our doorsteps, then the easier it will be. Move on people. Support the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timps Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I am from Manchester, I expect shooting on my doorstep, as well as the high street, the local bank and the off licence. I am up for it (date permitting) as long as the format appeals to me, North V South or something V something. I love the banter of a team event & it’s a bit too far to go just for a get together shoot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 We could have a Hetro V Benders comp. Mind you the teams would still be the same Hetro (SOUTH) V Benders (NORTH) :lol: Even if I was shooting on my doorstep I would still book into a hotel for the crack. Last years was legendary.

MC Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think Nickbeardo has already bagged that room, You could always push the boat out like us Essex lads and have a room to yourself. At least that way anyone snoring or farting is you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 And the trophy stays in the North It should be divided into scores even though it ISNT officially North v Sarf, and the winning team takes the trophy. Thats part of the fun, yes folks, its about fun as well..... shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
