Which club where you in ?

Roy I met you many moons ago when you took me for a days shooting at the BP club down there, we were friend with Trish and Martin, but haven't seen them for a while.
Have you retained any BPGear?

Hey Maca - They split years ago - I've not really been that close to them to be honest - Martin sees the old man in taupo a bit - he's up in snells beach now.

Did you come & do a club shoot or one of our "wild pork Events' - The only BP rifle ive got is the first gun I ever owned (given by dad) my stevens 32/20 center fire in black powder - uses 11 grains of 4F power - I still hand load the last shells I have and ping the odd goat with it - its so small its like a pop gun.
Weve sold all the Flintlocks , brown bess, cape guns , Hawkins etc . Got a bit of nitro in the cabinet now instead. Sorry that the penny not dropped with you yet

Would have been your dad I knew I think, he'd be the same age as Martin?
Just went for a days shoot there
We were good friends of the Brophys in those days came from Masterton
