There's a gorgeous smell of freshly bakes scones 'wofting' down from N Yorkshire ( All hail Mrs George )

40 wings later I'm stuffed

No room for scones then

Just wanted you guys to know what a great day I day today, It was really good to meet you all in person.

Thanks to Tony, our leader for the day, for organising the shoot and I have got to say that the home made scones and cake were great.

I am already looking forward to our next get together.

Likewise great day, good to put faces to names

Nice to see Toeknee and EY win the prizes, come on Tony 7, Seven not even double figures

EY is now the forum sharpshooter sniper with his excellent display and taking home the points And trophy cap

I settle for bronze medal as I didn't really want to show you all up  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yep a great day, good to meet you all big thanks to Toeknee (Especially pleased I came level on points with someone who recently purchased their own gun ) The rain held off but it was a bit windy (No not the Little chef beans) but that just sorted out the sharp shooters from those that couldn't hit the sky

You did well Andy, do you want a PDF shotgun licence application emailing to you

Best part of the day was the look of shock on McP face when he shot a pair <- looked like that but his gob was open too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yes - I looked at the gun and thought .....did I do that
Seem to recall it was just you and I that manged it Nick

Good to meet up with new and old faces today (and ones with retuned nose’s ) bit disappointed with my score 7 out of 35 is quite bad but i did win a hat for the lowest score , although it was quite windy and the reflection from all those clean and polished FL 2’s didn’t help and just to inform those doubters no water touched my car last night, but its great what a tin of spray on polish and a fancy cloth can do
Hope you enjoyed our second official outing and a big thanks to Mrs CG for the lovely North Yorkshire Scones, think we must have all been welcomed in to the non vanners club for the day as CG even did the business and severed up the scones with butter & Jam

Hope you all had a good journey home and didn’t get stuck in Thirsk just as the race course emptied
Thanks

Sorry can’t seem to upload photo’s especially the one showing Nick and Andy(McP) deep in conversation, apparently Andy was overheard saying “ think I could get in to this clay shooting lark, already have an old BSA air riffle that’s in need of a mod, just need to remove the barrels and replace with something I find on ebay, that should do the job, I can mod anything me”

STOP PRESS: Just had a slice of the home made Ginger cake courtesy of Mrs Toeknee Well when I say slice...to ensure the quality/consistancy... I had two
Mrs McP said ''shall I cut the cake in half and we'll freeze one half and eat the rest''
Answer - S D that, we'll vacuum this up easily in a few days
Cheers Mrs Toeknee (please make sure she gets the feedback)
