Silkstone, Blighty!
I thought I had posted interest in this thread, maybe on the last page but the site is a little clunky ATM so I won't start digging round! Anyway, date dependant i would love to come along, probably in the tent at the moment due to a lack of sufficiently large tarp!

I'd be interested in popping along, work commitments allowing as I am now on a rota to work one in three Saturdays! :rolleyes:

You did :D


I'm up for doing a raffle but ...... how about this instead?

Everyone brings something ...... we make 3 or 4 secret 'goody bags' ...... people can buy any number of tickets at perhaps 50p per ticket and winners pick a bag without knowing what's in it. The proceeds go towards either Rough Close for letting us use such a wonderful place for us to stay at or your forestry class equipment.

How does that sound to everyone?

A sort of bran tub meets musical chairs then?

Um, guess the title says it all really ...... except that, if all goes to plan, I should be able to confirm that the date and pitch (hopefully 11 will be available again) is booked some time tomorrow.

...... if all goes to plan ......

All went according to plan ...... for once :D . We're booked onto site eleven for the w/e of 18 - 20 July.

I've talked to the site, but not booked, the air rifles or archery as I'd forgotten to ask Mesquite whether his possible extra two were also possible shooters ...... and to see whether others would like to shoot on either or both ranges.

So far, for shooting, we have:
Mesquite (+ possible 2 extra) - Archery and Air rifle
maverick (can't make July18th-20th) - Archery and air rifle
Bootstrap Bob - Archery.
Wallenstein - rifles.
decorum - both - to make up numbers.

maverick - I've left you in in the hope that you might be able to join us.

Air Rifle shooting is £25.00 per hour (Site Instructor Led and max 12 per session) and
Archery is £22.00 per hour (Site Instructor Led and max 12 per session)
Again, I'm inclined to put a limit of 6 - 8 people per hour session; allowing each participant the chance to get a good few rounds down the range(s).

I've finally found out what the 'woodstore' on eleven is. It's a ...... woodstore! And the logs which had been conveniently cut to seat size are in fact ...... seats - Amazing deductive powers :lmao:
