Mine arrived today - ok I suppose but I have to say I blasted through it very quickly.

All round good guy and VERY grumpy old man.

Yours is in the post I guess - bit late for the advertised Easter Meeting though :o

Looking forward to seeing your name in print??? :lol:

Goodness gracious me!

That is nothing like the letter I wrote. It has clearly been written by someone who doesn't know what the National Match is for starters (as opposed to the National Championships!), and it completely misses the point about lack of coverage of team shootin in general, over-concentration on certain ins and photographs thereof, and fails to understand the logic of not being able to trust articles about disciplines other than one's own when there are obvious inaccuracies in the coverage of the article that one does know.

It is dead wrong to attribute a 'letter' to someone that is not what he has written without checking it (and indeed his willingness to be published) first.

I am, frankly, appalled.

NB "ins" = "individuals" (changed above, since it won't let me edit the original). My computer seems to be an ignorant and overenthusiastic editor...

I think it is a forum thing. I know there has been discussion about it before however I am not sure where the 20m eventually came from. Christel will be back in a bit and should be able to help.

I have something in a plain grey plastic bag. Must be my journal as Bnz got his.
Why don't the NRA have a "couples" membership? We would be happy to have just one copy to save money.
