But is there anyone in the dorset area or am i the only airgunner here? I'm gonna be in Swanage late June for 7 nights. I'll be happy to meet up for a drink or even better a shoot.

COLINSRI Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) ask in the airgun section, you'll get an answer. So far its a bit hazy! So whats this meet gunna be? targets or hunt? I'm up for a bit of both, targets to get range and to get used to gun (if you borrow mine) and hunting. I'm going to be up in June. (so long as Andy can get use of a field and permission) Anybody that wants to get involved in this meet, pm me your mobile and i'll arrange it from here.

fiiish1987 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm afraid the brewery is no longer in use...its to be "modern flats". however the downstairs bit still sells wine and you can rent the upstairs for functions. I'm not sure if the EP is still in existance brewing elswhere but that brewery is gone. btw did you know a chap called hewey matthews? he worked there about the same time as you. he was a friend of my dads.
