the hitman Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Archie coats was an ex army major , who was well connected to many ex army landowners, up and down the country. He gave a talk to some local shooters near Berwick , as a guest of Colonel De Clermont, which my father attended ( i was way too young). I met him at the CLA game fair when it was held in Kelso 1988 . He had his own stand, and i queued up to speak to him. He was happy talking to everyone and full of good advice.

JDog Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I remember seeing the series on tv , managed to record on Betamax!!!! As a side issue my claim to fame was being part of an Eel fishing programme called Angling Today with the presenter Terry Thomas. If any body has a copy of this or is aware of how to obtain a copy I would be grateful. PC, having more than one 'claim to fame' could be considered greedy.

Trevorevans Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 For anyone interested you can get a copy of the whole series of 'Jacks Game' on DVD from a well known auction site. Think mine cost about £2.50-3.00 and is a very enjoyable watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
