Once again, it is time for our annual get together with our friends at Old Basing. This year it is our turn to join them at their ground on Sunday 3rd June 2007. The rounds will be York/Hereford and Bristols. So that they can have an idea of number of targets to put out, and catering requirements, I have been asked to collate numbers as soon as possible. As I am shooting elsewhere over the next ten days and won't be at the club very much, could you please let me know as soon as possible, who is interested in going. For those who have not been to this meeting before, it is a very friendly shoot. The Company is good, and so is the food. Ian will vouch for the Rhubarb and Strawberry crumble which Su has said she will make again. You can telephone me on 01344 300210
