davyt63 1,845 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi every one Nathan one of my landowners who I rid vermin for, who is a very nice bloke! Would like to raise some money to contribute towards to build a church in Botswana. And has come up with the idea! Of having an air gun competition he has asked me to ask, if any of you would be interested in taking part! To help raise some money to build the church. And I thought what a good worthy cause! He is going to use the land where I shoot, which is in Swindon Wiltshire. I hope some of you would like to take part; also it would be nice to put a face to a name! And to all who came to the august 09 meet I held, it would be good to see ya’s again. I will know more when he rings me this week end for a chat! sorry its short but thats all i know for now! Regards davy Quote Link to post

Nathan_R 10 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi, Just thought I'd quickly introduce myslef and answer a couple of questions myself rather than going through Davy. I'm Nathan (obviously!) and I'm currently involved with a fund raising project at my church to build a church in Botswana. We have connections with a missionary organisation working there who are in desperate need of a building. As well as running the church the missionary organisation also run the local school - they have nearly 300 students and only one teacher. The money we are aiming to raise this year will be spent equally between building a permanent church building in Seronga and equipping the school with new equipment such as text books, exercise books, stationery etc and to help train new teachers. I appreciate that not everybody shares my faith, but hopefully we can all share in helping people far worse off than ourselves and really enjoying ourselves while we are doing it! And don't worry Andyfr1968, we have a very well refrigerated font!! At the moment I am planning to hold the competition in mid March so keep your diaries free and I will let you know more details once they are finalised. Thanks for your interest, Nathan Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'd be quite happy to attend mate providing I can get some guys to share fuel costs. Swindon is about 5 1/2 hours straight from me so if I can get the time and fill the car i'm up for it Darryl Quote Link to post
farmboy99 1 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 see i upset someone by asking why botswana, sorry i didnt mean to at all. it just baffels me why we send so much money abroad when we have so many problems here in england. didnt mean any offense toward the function. it sounds like a lot of fun, if i had any confidence that i could be anywhere near good enough id go for it but i think id just be a joke! anyway like i said apologies if i caused any distress, wasnt my intention cheers tom Quote Link to post
