Going on Thursday mate. I have Stu, Dom, Paul, Mark and yours truly to get for........................ Mmmmmmmmmmmm Ammo.
Considering the first event I attended I only fired 7 rounds out of the 150 I purchased. Sounds like a personal homage to Ken West eh?
(Homage ? you're drunk.........)

And a HUGE thankyou to the following:- Paul for the transport Martin for the event Nigel (phuqing legend) for being Nigel The Tommies for top cameraderie - as ever Chris for the entertainment in the bar on Saturday evening The Staff of the Hollybush for allowing mad re-enactors to take over for the weekend - you are stars. Hellen and Steve for their patience and good humor. Can't wait for the next event. Digger.

Thanks for a top, if rather muddy weekend lads. As always great to see you all again and roll on 2005. As far as the weekend goes it was great to use my own bang stick and thanks for that thunder flash sparky, it made a good bang ;D. It was a shame about the fields being flooded but there's always the next one ;D

He he he he. ;D Yerrall mad. Mud ,mud gloopy mud. I bloomin' well loved it, slippin' an' sliddin', squelchin' an' oozin'. Hadn't got that dirty since i wer about 8 or 9 years old AND i din't get a rollockin' either this time. best moments ? Well, there was the Tiny an' the sinkin' grass . Not gettin' laughed at fer the " Foresters" tributeish clothing. McMud. Hidin' in the ditch with Bob, an' watchin' them drop like flies. The gatherin' at the pub. Not so best moments ? The smell bein' a city slicker i ain't used to such abuse of the nasal region. Not bein' able to roll a smoke with wet fingers . Findin' me tent in a damaged state after lendin' it to a so called friend. Hey - Ho. Havin' to come away so early. Hearing of some poor chap's accident with a sten. Hope he recovers fully and will attend another blat some time soon. Thanx to all fer makin' this event happen. Martin, Farmer. And not forgetting those important young 'un's , Steve and Helen. Thanx you to everyone for givin' us someone to shoot at And thanx to you , my comrades in arms. Come on the Tigers
