shoot and be safe Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Tee shirts for next charity shoot Mark, do you know any tee shirt printers?. :whistling: But since you mention the charity shoot. This thread is a prime example of the good it does to all that attend. There were some fantastic prizes offered by very generous people. This year all that attended helped raise over £6k this year Look out for next year's event and if you can attend, please do. It don't matter if you can shoot or not, it's a great day out for charity That's the plug out of the way. Tell us about the burns and hammer rash Alix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Note the speed of the hammer Polished to increase air speed The boy was on fire (well I was ) The concentration Enough let's move on because he was hot and cream crackered So break and a drink Followed by a Chinese I think the lad thought my dog liked him but he was realy eating of his plate😂😂😂 Then a quick drive out to my mate the stick maker to have a look at a few he's working on and see a finished bespoke one Edited August 26, 2015 by Old farrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks Nigel for spending time with my Lad, thanks also to Sabs who gave him the raffle prize and thanks to PW for the charity shoot, we both have attended twice and won some excellent raffle prizes. Only trouble is he now keeps lighting his home made forge next to the conservatory, so I better check my house insurance :-) Don't just read it phone them it's called non disclosure if you don't!

shoot and be safe Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 A good summary of the weekend there OF, thanks for sharing your take on the weekend But nobody has mentioned the burns and scars Now the shameless plugThere are many on the forum that could do similar we all have our jobs /talents / skills that seem mundane to usThere exiting and interesting to many others so please think about it for next yearsCharity raffleIt's about giving a memory to some oneAnyway enoughHope you enjoyed the thread and maybe next year it could be youAll the bestOf Not a shameless plug at all OF, I had a fantastic time with you last year and I know Alix also had a great time too. This day came about because of your generosity to the charity shoot and have made lifetime memories for Alix and I. If anyone else has "experience days" that they could offer to the charity shoot raffle, I'm sure it would be well received and you can do your own little bit to help raise funds for charity. It doesn't matter if you can't offer a prize, but you can always try to attend and enjoy a good day out meet old and new friends and break a clay or two all in the name of charity Now the plugs are over, what about the burns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Burns I have to be honest ginger had a far better concept of elf and safety than previous victims 😗(visitors) to the forge Anyway girls like a scar 😋 Although I did think the heat of the forge badly affected the colour of his hair 😙 Didn't like to draw attention to it though they can be a bit techey about that sort of stuff 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
