I think I have an explanation for my win, its all down to my engineering background where I worked out in my head the trajectory, angle of elevation, velocity and sheer luck. I honestly have no idea how I did so well.
What a day, thoroughly enjoyed myself what with meeting you guys and my thanks to Toeknee for organising it.
As for the scones that I have read about ever since joining this forum, I'd like to say they were worth waiting for and to add thanks to CG for for allowing me the non Lidl one and please thank Mrs CG for baking them.
Mrs Toeknee deserves my thanks also for the best Banana and 'T' bread cake I have tasted, please pass on my thanks.
I promise you all that next time Cornish Steak Pasty's will be on the menu not baked by my wife as she admits to being bloody useless at baking , but I will get my daughter to send some up.
Great photos, great cars and great blokes, thanks for a good day.

Special thanks to CG who travelled all those miles in the blustery weather, he's parked far left.

I have just received a phone call from coniston, apparently they have just found 7 smashed clays behind the 7 I missed on one stand, not sure how it happened but it looks as if a clay machine was throwing them up just over the hill out of sight, that brought my score to 31, so if you can all recognise me as the winner that would be great

Also ginger cake is great for breakfast with a cup of tetley tea  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Top Gun Toeknee, we all know that Black is a to keep clean is this why, locked in the rear of your Freely was a double dog cage, converted to hold all the valeting gear, the amount of polish locked away would have supplied EV for six months

Toeknee, by the look of the guys in the last photo, did MacP drop a really smelly one?

anyway, now we can see the whites of their eyes, you might like the name and shame the images in that photo.

Don't name them, leave the mystery and then people will have to come along to find out who is who  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can pretty much guess Nic! Sure you have any previous convictions, you have a well kempt face!

Brilliant Absolutely F g Brilliant (but untrue )

dunroof actually (genuinely) there was a strange smell in the air - think a local farmer had been S T flickin' a field nearby, before we arrived - suppose it makes a change from spreading it all over the road

Sounds like you all had fun , what was the highgun score ?

Are you sure it was the local Farmer as it was definatly Bovine, it could have been the comments in the car park like "Don't my pretend HSE wheels look nice" (CG) or was "Black is a better colour" (Top Gun Toeknee) or "No I haven't washed it this morning" (NP) and followed by "No I haven't polished it" (Toeknee again) or "It is a SD4 HSE honest but I don't have DAB" (MCP) and finally "I have never picked up a gun before" (EY) Great day though, those that couldn't come missed a good day out

Top Gun, Date & Walnut cake gets top marks, please pass this on to Mrs toeknee.
