MC Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Guys, While I do not want to get involved in the organisation one bit, you can put me down for the clays. Can I suggest the 6th and 7th sept as the dates. If so I can possibly rent out the entire Bullet Lodge which sleeps about 20 has full facilities and clean hygenic showers and toilets. I will see if it is available if this is the date we can all agree on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Rooms at the Bisley Pavillion are not overly expensive, and even less if you share a room (preferably not with somebody who snores like MC, or Mung, who sleeps in all of his day clothes) see; http://www.bisleypavilion.com/accommodation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Accomodation is fairly key as 'summer' ends the chances of being rained on increase. As long as we are bear in mind Bisley is a very different place when the biker meet isn't on, we/you will have to make our own entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 If Bullet lodge is available on the weekend we decide on the it is £14 each per night. I can possibly get it cheaper if we have the whole lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm in depending on the dates - I know the 14th is out for me. As for entertainment so long as Bazza goes we've got it made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well what can i say. Im gutted, and very annoyed. By the sounds of things we have fallen victim to some busy bodies and people having 'mates' who take priority over rules. First of all i would like to apologise to every member who had a wasted trip. Some of you drove massive distances and i cant apologise enough for that. Secondly a massive thankyou to MC I know a few members have had a pop at the organisation, and fair enough you have a reason to be annoyed but MC and myself played it all by the book when booking, what we didnt realise was the book was open to modification. MC did an excellent job of booking the ranges and dealing with the mess on the day. And i thank him for that, having had to deal with a similar situation last year with F+M stopping sunday i know what a logistical nightmare it is. Some may wonder why we used the NRA direct as opposed to the BASC, well the first year we used the BASC it was fine, with 15 or so people, But when you mention the numbers of people which bisley has grown to the BASC start asking for things such as everyone's membership number who is shooting. As i know some members choose to use other public liability insurers this has caused problems previously. So we chose to use the NRA direct as it seemed to be simpler. How wrong we were. I would also like to highlight that we managed to use this same method last year fine, without drawing the attention of anyone. So something was different this year and it certainly wasnt in the organisation or booking of the ranges. Anyway, this is all in the past. But still my apologies to those who drove long distance at great expense to attend. I can only hope the Social banter was worth the trip. I like Martin will decline to take on the organisation of another Bisley. It is surprising the amount of time and effort it takes and as may be apparent the weight on your shoulders if it goes wrong. I hope Bisley continues even if we decide to make it just a social event where people book their own lanes/shooting, which may be the way to do it next time for who ever organises it. Hopefully the banter in the evening was worth it for most members and once again my apologies to those who feel they had a wasted journey.

henry d Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nick - IMHO there is nothing for you to apologise for, even if I had come all the way down again, it was just one of those things like FMD. Many thanks to you both for your efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 If any future organiser needs a hand next year I am volunteering now. I will finish school for the year in May and after a few notable GCSE exams are out the way I will have alot of free time on my hands running up to the meet providing it is at the normal time of the year.

Mungler Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Martin and Nick - top job. Worry not. I had a good time and that's all I am bothered about Now then, what happened to the original idea of Bisley Mk 2?

Cranfield Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Could you please restrict posts to this thread to ones stating whether you are interested in a Bisley Mk 2 for 2008, or not.

MC Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 13th will be out anyway as it is the NRA open day and you will not be able to book a range, the place will be swarming with jobsworth range officers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
