Have got the sniper game props made so just require a couple of "snipers" who want to test their field craft skills against the keen eyes of the fash.i.e. joe public.

Will bring our maxim as well and Andy will run through the stripping down etc. so no one hurts themselves in the heat of the moment on the obstacle course.

Got our car pass today too,cheers Ade.

sorry folks , im going to have to pull out of this event

i will try to get to the next one .

cheers bob for the loan of a nagant to nick

i hope you all have a good event .

You will certainly be missed Colin; you taught me how to strip a Nagant for the first time at Belvoir last year.

It was my first unit event.

I will drink a toast to you with the customary beverage around the camp fire.

I think East of England Tank Museum comes next so see you there.

He also showed me how to strip a naga, I must say the the conscripts of belvoir '07 ( Bob, James Zeiba, Semyon, Tank and I) were the real cool cats!

Final revised numbers are:

Ray
Ade
Lez
Samuel
Martin
Richard
Jo
Huw
Sion
Sarah
Walter
Andy
Golly
Nick
Allan
Bob
John (new recruit from Ft Nelson)

Those of you who have informed Ade that you will attending this event will receive event passes, those of you didn't.....won't!

Remember get your HAIR CUTS SHORT.

I'm getting fed up with people turning up with modern haircuts, it must be cut short! I have hair clippers wth me so get your hair cut short no side burns.......

However if you can show me a war time picture of Red Army troops with long hair, sideburns, ponytails and earrings the please do and you can wear it otherwise get it cut short.

Congratulations!!!!!!

Just adding my two pennysworth.

Enjoyed the show, despite having to work and being kept busy all weekend.

I shall have to grease the maxim bolts ready for next time now that I've let the new bods get a taste of victory,if not a taste of winners vodka.

Also it was the first show I've had a plasch tent to myself,Ahh the space to spread out ,,luxury.

Hey guys, just to say thanks for a great weekend weekend. I dont normally attent this event but if we are down for it again next year I will be going if off duty allows. And I must learn to take suncream to summer events.

I would like to congratulate the "new bods" on a supreme effort.
Like true Soviet Comrades they rose to the challenge and threw themselves at it with gusto !
Golly, like a Jack-Russell and John like a whippet ,they flew along ;and on sunday Jo added a touch of class !
I filled the roll of clown on saturday by failing to see the oil and water from the traction engines then going rrrs over t-t ! later I erroneously blamed my boots for the skidding! I have polished them gently to make up for it !
I also realised that had I fitted a bayonet to the rifle then the muzzle could not have hit the ground and been blocked with dirt (a little training snippet there ).
I found it difficult to look Walter in the eye on saturday and felt more worserer after sundays event !!
But hey ! healthy competition ! Its good for you.I was secretly chuffed to rocks !!
I just wish we had had a name ! (and the vodka) !!
I certainly learned a heck of a lot (and am very confident now) with the Maxim. So it was well worth the effort.
