Herts, Beds & Bucks (HBBCA) meetup thread

[Relin]

What time we meeting chaps, im going to come along but might have to leave by 3.

Will bring a Laguiole folder

[TallNHairyDave]

I'm still planning on being there. Fingers crossed nothing comes up...

[Uriel]

I will aim to get there as early as possible, but I suspect it won't be before noon. I've got to go from Letchworth to Pinner to Letchworth, before I go to Markyate...

[Chastiser]

i put 1200 hrs ack emma as earliest time to meet, and ill get there for that as am not that far away. we have the room in the lodge from 1300hrs for 2 hours or longer and the range for a couple of hours too. shooting goes on for longer but if the roped off bit has been set up as promised i think we only get that for a couple of hours.

[DeliveryD]

We hope to get there for 1ish as I need to get my elderly Mother to and from Watford first!

Relin looking forward to seeing your Laguiole folder Thank You

THD any chance of you bringing your Hill People Rucksack?

Cheers and see you all tomorrow

[Relin]

Strange request I know, and left a little late, but if anyone attending has a sensible amount of scrap lead (1/2 CWT or so !) that they'd like to trade/sell/swap, could they bring it along please ? I'm running low on stuff to pour as ball and expect to be going into a bit of a production run in the near future

old wheel weights no good? i seem to remember we used to cast em in .38 when reloading club ammo. many a tire place will give em away.

Most of them are some sort of zinc-like alloy these days fella I had a big bucket of weights from a tyre place which they made me pay for ... and most of what was in it was unusable. Give me good old fashioned lead pipe anyday
At the present rate I might even have to take a trip to the scrappy and see what I can get there, but they'll want rum tokens for it and the thought of that breaks my heart.

[Longstrider]

BTW .. I'll be bringing a couple or 3 air rifles, the 12, and a few ball-launchers that should prove fun on the rifle range. Folks welcome to have use of them all if I'm happy they know what they're doing with them.

Oh ... and a cutty-choppy-slicey thing or two

[Mr_Yarrow]

Sorry peeps going to bale on tomorrow. Got a stinking cold and coughing too much to sleep - doh

Have a great time all

ApolgyI've been eagerly waiting to post, since I got back from the HBBCA meet at Broomhills today to tell all how good it was. Only to get home and the site is down, frustrating or what. Anyway 12 hours later here we go.
I think I can speak for nearly everyone apart from one of the boys with Delivery D feeling a little unwell. That it was a very good afternoon out.
Lots of knives to look at (pictures later from some of the other guys), some new faces to meet and chat with and a few toys to shoot with.
Big thanks to Relin for letting us use his shotgun to try and hit a few clays. A first to me, so that was exciting. I don't know if they will have us back as a tall chap with a big step was destroying everything on the airgun range with his catapult. You're going to have to get that thing chrono'd some time. Anyway that's all from me as I left early because I'm on nights and I better leave something to say from the other guys.
Thanks all for today, it was great meeting you all old and new.
Post edit to apologise to Chastiser. In my excitement in telling all about the day I forgot to say thank you to the man who organised it all, Chastiser.

Totally agree and a big thanks to Mike for organising what hopefully will become a regular gig, was a thoroughly good day all round and was great putting faces to names
