Bisley seems to be cancelled tomorrow, unless they told me a tale of cock and bull so I wouldn't turn up. Seems some jobsworth took umbrage at the cannon, complained that we were exceeding the range limit, found there was no range limit for BP, couldn't stand to lose and got us on a booking technicality :good::good:

Snotty,

They are certainly nice weapons you have, and yep they had us on a technicality, so i wasn't hanging around and not being able to shoot.

 

Your smokers upset the guys on the 100 yard range trying to shoot a comp so they went and complained :good::good::hmm:

Sadly,it seems very unlikely that Sunday will take place now.

 

It seems that fate was indeed against us as several people complained about the use of the 'smokers' which lead the way to further problems. Having stopped for lunch and to meet up with the 'Clay' group, it fast dawned on us that any further shooting may not be permitted.

 

As explained in the topic posted for help, it transpires that none Bisleys Officials had taken the trouble to explain that though an NRA member had booked 2x100yards lanes and 1x200 and then 1x300 and 1x600 the relevant lanes, that only he would be permitted to shoot. We argued our case but the officials still remain adamant that unless contact can be made with BASC to confirm, all shooting would be canceled.

 

As you can imagine, this was rather disappointing, but despite the set back spirits remained and still remain in good health.

 

Thanks to everyone that helped out. It was great to see old faces again and to meet some new.

 

Inspite of everthing, i'm looking forward to the PW Bisley outing. :good:

Utterly disappointed for the people that paid money for this. Also from from the perspective that people may have taken time out away from their families and/or work for a potentially great meet under (and without being there i'm sure 100%) safe a environment to practice exactly what the site was able to cater for but unable to cope with due to the sheer incompetence and lack of reasoning of a few jobsworth types.

 

Just as well i didn't go, had i spent cash on that event it might have taken an emergency operation to remove my foot from someone's ****.
