Gent's we're going to put a bid in for an ARFCOM shoot at Lydd on Serial 45 in April. Hopefully the weather will be a little better then and we can have some fun. I'll confirm dates when we get a notification from Landmarc.

What days would suit most people, weekday or weekend?

Cheers

Yep, it was restricted to 4 places last time as it wasn't an ARFCOM shoot, it was a club shoot that we could invite a few guests to. This will be a dedicated ARFCOM shoot as we did last year. I think we limited it to 20, so that will probably be the benchmark this time.

I will struggle with a weekday in April, I will see what I can do, I would like to come again, last year was excellent, and I have just come across a nice stash of FNM 7.62 tracer

I'll try and get a spread of dates and hopefully get one that suits.

Right Gent's,

I've spoken to the range booking office. We need to give them a selection of dates in April and they'll let us know which we can have.

So what I need are some suggestions and then we can get a date that suits as many as possible.

What about: Thursday 19th, Friday 20th. Monday 23rd or Tuesday 24th for starters.

Post here and I'll collate the choices.

Cheers

I have no idea yet what I am doing then but hope to make it seeing as I missed the last one and it sounded like fun.

And the 24th is my birthday

Gent's,

Just a reminder, I'd like to get an idea of numbers to see if this is financially viable. Could you let me know if you're interested and if so what dates suit.

cheers

I really want to come, if I can make the date I will be there, its a shame to let all this FNM 7.62 tracer I have get any older

I'm up for this, if it's a day other than a Monday or Tuesday I'll need to book some holiday a bit sharpish though.

[#25]
Ok Gent's, I'm going to try and get this going.

So far the following have show interest:

DaddyPig
Lynk
M1154
Timlad
Hsurf
B_R
Little Fraggle
Bolthead
LV426

With those numbers it would cost approx £40 each for the day. If we get more people then the price will go down. Assuming no one else comes forward are you all happy with that price?

We're probably looking at Monday 23rd or Tuesday 24th.

Cheers

May well be down that way on 6th with the wife....... however, the mention of going shooting may well result in the removal of a certain part of my anatomy....

Monday would be preferable but either day should do for me, I'll have a word with work and see if I can book the night off anyway in case it's the Sunday .

Naah, get her a couple of loaves, a butter knife, butter, ham, cheese, a kettle, some milk, sugar and tea bags.
We might as well put her to good use

Ok Gent's a couple of things:

Firstly there's a bunch of new people on here since we last had one of these shoots (we love you all by the way) so I should have explained it a bit better

Serial 45 at Lydd is a Live Firing Marksmanship Training Multi Activity Range. In effect it's a field firing range with reactive targets from 100m to 1100m, there are also various tank hulks that can be shot at. In addition we can use 2 floors of the tower.

My clubs organises the shoot and you just come along with guns and ammo and enjoy yourselves.

The only restrictions are that you must have an NRA safe shooter card!

To try and get a date that suits as many people as possible let me know a) if you seriously want to come along and b) what dates in May you CANNOT make.

I'll get everyones choices and then pick the date that suits the majority.

If you want to see what going loud and bringing out the big guns really means come along!

Cheers
