B25Modelman Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Does anyone know if this club still exists. They used to have a ground in a wooded copse just below Odiham airfield close to the Four Horseshoes pub. If my memory serves me right it used to be run by Dennis Worsefold back in 1978/80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Blimey that was a long time ago, I'm sure it had folded when I last shot at RAF Odiham in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Yes, I was one of the first members. I recall the meeting at the FHS to discuss the start up. Did you know Neil Soane at RAF Odiham....big lad, Harley rider. Edited January 12, 2015 by B25Modelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I think he did, he was a lovely chap and asked me to get him some flying gloves. Two weeks later I gave him a green pair and a white pair and he thought I wanted him to choose. When I said he was welcome to both pairs he went and bought 400 Winchester shells for me. Great chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
