Hello everyone, Sarah here to post some pictures! Sorry it has taken me a week to do so. It was good to see everyone and I hope to see you all next year, along with those who were not able to make it this time.
I will upload the best of the pictures I took onto some form of album and post the link when I have done so, that way everyone can see more than these few pictures if you're interested. But until then, hope you enjoy these few:

Victor,

It would be lovely if you could come out next year. Please consider it! We (at Sarah's request) are going to India as next year's theme....so bring an elephant or something if you can come!
Re. private range;
I can't even imagine shooting on a public range, where the atmosphere would be 'watered down' a bit.

Branko,

You know you are always welcome. Pleased you liked the new "fascilities"!
We will post shoot...

Bret,
Thanks for looking at your Portuguese Carbine. Now I will ask what is the serial number and what is the letter and number on the right side under the rear sight?

Richard,
You and your family always go all out for us, I was quite impressed with the new Outhouse quite the hight light of the range improvements this year. Thanks so much to you Linda and Sarah.

The Western Contingent has definitely set the sartorial standard! Not only do you shoot well, but (best Billy Crystal imitation) you- look- MAAAHVEHLUS!

A relaxed shooting session is to be greatly envied. I think having the affair on private grounds helps the mood tremendously. No worrying about monopolizing club facilities / getting in the way of shooters with other agendas.

Looks to have been an excellent event as always. Wish I could get out that way.

Great pictures so far guys. Hopefully there are some good ones of the charge, haha!

Thanks again to Richard and his family for putting on the event! I had a great time as usual. I kind of liked the relaxed attitude. I've never been to any serious shoots and am probably not cut out for it anyways.

Hopefully I will see you all again next year.

Branko,

Although this year the numbers were down through force of circumstance, it was good to see everyone again, plus Becky, Bob, and Gary.

Not sure if it was the heat, (It was Warm!) but it seemed this time that no-one was rushing to do their shooting. Very laid-back approach to things! This I found rather nice, after rushing about getting ready. Still we never got the "Mad minute" shot, Or any clay pigeons!! (We Did however shoot targets for the ISSO)

I never thought I'd say this about the denizens of this forum, but what a great looking group! Love the Victorian kit on everyone. Looks like a fine time. I so wish I could have been there. Looks like it was a fine time!

Cheers,

How long roughly were the laces you used?

Hey Richard,

I can get there around noon on Friday and help out with any last minute stuff if needed.

I will be staying with my girlfriends parents in sundre again so I am good for accomodations. Ive been busily loading away but non of the local stores in calgary carry Reloader 15 so my 303 might have to sit out.

See you all soon,
Brett

Gentlemen,
I do not wish to detract from the East Coast playday thread, but have a rather nagging concern about our Alberta shoot.
I feel I let things down a bit in the organising of events.
I have just read Michael's excellent post on events for the "East coast playday" and wish I had had it together more at our shoot.
My question is;
Would anyone like to step up to organise tha actual events?
