    Showing your sack to others, normally wouldn't be advisable, but in this case, yes getting it out there, could make the skippers life a bit easier
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    0800 till 1300 for the shoot. F&G will be manning the road to keep the clueless away. Regardless of success or otherwise will be a great day as I am sure will yours
