Shooting and driving, Fri 29th Sept: GB vs. USA vs. Germany
Discussion
Right chaps, it's all on for this Friday: a morning's varied shooting, followed by as much of the afternoon as people like driving some excellent local roads.
THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR 1-2 MORE PEOPLE TO JOIN IF YOU CAN GET FRIDAY MORNING OFF WORK
- just e-mail me your address and I'll tell you where to send some money (£160).
We will meet at the London & Middlesex Rifle Association (check into the thread on Thursday in case that changes) at Bisley Camp, near Brookwood in Surrey (GU24 0PA).
Bisley Camp can be found on the map link below. Coming from the M3, use Queen's Road from the A322; coming from the A3, leave the A322 at Fox Corner, just after Worplesdon, and follow the yellow road through Pirbright:

Once on camp, you get to the LMRA like this (scroll down after following link):
www.lmra.co.uk/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=37
Timings as follows:
08:15 Meet; coffee and bacon butties available (+ trying to arrange alternative for Lee)
08:45 Briefing (incl. safety) from Captain of Great Britain Rifle Team
09:00 Shoot 1
10:15 Shoot 2
11:30 Shoot 3
12:30 Lunch & prize-giving
Afternoon on the roads
The team you are in will determine the order in which you do the following shoots:
* Clay pigeon on the Commonwealth Games facility
* Black powder pistol
* Target rifle on the 1000 yards range
I've taken the liberty of dividing people up according to country of origin of their cars, so that the teams "make sense". Let me know if you have any objections.
If one extra person joins (in which case it's ESSENTIAL you tell me now!), I will fill the other spot to even up numbers. If two more join, I may move one or two people so that those who know each other are together throughout the shooting and not just at breakfast and lunch.
Suggested teams:
USA
parklane - Corvette
Y50 VET - Corvette
godzilla - Corvette Z06
V8D - Corvette
erikthevetking - Corvette Z06
[cheeky - Corvette Z06]
Great Britain

Will probably be bringing the Aston.. So does that qualify me for the British or American team ?
Wondered if that might persuade you to bring the Aston. You can go British if a couple more German car owners join in. Anyone know any?
He might need this to fit in
Thought i better get the gag in before the yanks started
then i saw this....

Yeah, just watch out for the friendly fire from us "Yanks"!

I'm not aware of ringers but...
I still need funds from the following:
[all paid now]
Please don't let me down guys because I will have to pay £640 all-in otherwise!
Cash on the morning (before shooting) is fine but I need to be sure it is coming...
