WEAPON SAFETY
Altought most of us are all expeirenced in handling live fire arms, there are guys that may only have limited or non existent experience with them.
For this reason I think at Redditch we should
a) Carry out a demostration of the effects of blank ammunition on a coke can.
and
b) Have a regimented weapons check after every blat/return to the camping area, carried out by one of the group NCO's.
Altought were a relaxed group, every man is as equal as the next, with weapons I think we need to act like soldiers and be very proffesional. My only reason for this after hearing the horror stories about some idiots wondering what comes out the end of the weapon etc.

Agreed, Chris and I have agreed a weapons safety procedure to be carried out AT ALL TIMES. I will specify at the next event. A 100% safety record so far, let's keep it up.

Absolutely spot on mate...... I've seen some nasty stuff as a result of weapons mishandling. people forget its still a live firer, just the cartridge is different..... debris down the barrel will be equally effective as a slug !

On the topic of weaponry, can i remind those who wish to hire, please book your sticks NOW. you're responsible for your own hiring. dont blame me if there's nothing allocated to you on the day.

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Still 3 weeks to go 'till Redditch!!! I bet it will seem like an eternity. I am looking forward to meeting up and seeing all your ugly mugs for a kick as chin-wag, as much as the battle itself. I hope you all have lots of gossip to chat about since our eventful AGM at the last event.
Ta ta.

The usual dress code for private battles is - whatever you feel comfortable in mate. We may be having a photoshoot, if so bring a flashed up b.d. to wear for the camera. Lookin good so far mate, can't wait to chat wiv you all, it seems like yonks since we were ALL together at the same event.

You'd be surprise where photo's of us appear (other than dodgy web sites)..... usually there's some publication snapping away for future issues.
