bakerboy Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Fantastic day yet again the quality just keeps on improving. 80+ of us braved the weather for a great day out, the 60 odd that did not turn "SHAME ON YOU" but you are the ones that missed out.

PhilR Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Great day Alan, thank you. As Arnie says I'll be back.

Stuart Mackay Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Massive thanks to Al & Mel, ably assisted by John & Nicky Hassall for their hardy, selfless organisation and running of the day. These guys worked their Bu**s off for the enjoyment of others and I was saddened to hear that the weather had put quite a number of attendees off from coming, causing more last minute rearrangements for the team. Great targets as usual, Al, despite the windy conditions causing you a lot of late changes overnight, Our team all agreed that you have a direct line to the weather Gods with the sunshine and clear blue skies topping off a great day out for those that came. Finally a big thanks to Chas, Chris and Ashley for their company around the shoot as Team 4 with Bakerboy, Tel's stand in help at short notice to help us achieve a five away on the second time around on the Flush. John at the pub did a great job on the comestible front, even supplying take away portions of the Chilli! Roll on the next PW Beeston Bash!

Mungler Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah Bazzer shot like a homo and let himself down very badly. I gave it the full on Ben10 and went hero time with my pump - my face is feeling it now; I look like I've got the mumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryside lass Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Fantastic day yesterday - no-one can complain about the conditions, it was the same for everyone just some dealt with it better than others and real pigeon shooters shouldn't have a problem with shooting in a howling gale. When the sun eventually did come out, there were people moaning that they couldn't see the targets - hey ho, you just can't please everyone..... I am in the process of sorting out the 500+ pics that I took yesterday, obviously there is a certain amount of editing involved to make sure you all look your best but they should be available to view/purchase this evening on www.photoboxgallery.com/nicolahassall - the pics from previous PW flushes are also on this website - if you want to view the slideshow, open each page one at a time and let the thumbnails load first so that the gallery is 'open', then the slideshow will run. Thanks to John, Jules and Becca in the Ploughshare for looking after us all again so admirably, and obviously to Alan and Mel for running yet another cracking day. Nick13's hen pheasant looks great on my wall (thanks Stu!!) and the auction for Mr Countryside Lass's skinned/dressed muntjac raised another few quid for the PW Charity Different Strokes. Alan's big Christmas shoot is but a few weeks away (check the website www.fairclaytargets.co.uk) so there's another opportunity for you PW'ers to come and play on a 100 bird sporting layout with the special 'Hit a flash clay and win a turkey' stand as well as a mega raffle in the pub aferwards........you never know, Chimp may even score another 10..........

OddJob Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Alan, you are a superstar. You don't get to hear all of the positive comments about the shoot on the day, but so many people were so grateful and enjoyed the day immensely. The Essex Mafia and The Midland Monkeys were grinning all day, in part due to Miffy's shooting and the incessant pumping from Mungler, but also because of the well organised shoot and fun targets. Cheers old bean! (butt kiss over...the actual thought of that almost made me throw up in my mouth) Edited November 26, 2012 by OddJob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
