New guns for our new base. The red ones are newer updated versions of the orange Chinese guns which I put the thread on here of before. The ones from eBay that a lot of you purchased. These newer versions are brushless, have more quiet motors. Come with two upgraded higher power lithiums instead of just one. Can't find them for delivery in the UK yet though (or UK plugs).





All of our original orange guns are still going strong. We have never managed to break one of them yet, using them all day, everyday. So hoping these new red ones will also be long term pukka.

Quote... Well there goes my plan for a SHB Ting Tong Variant.

Maybe you might get another chance for another go later in the year. David claimed his prize.

So many photos of forum members get sent. It would be so rude of me not to post them. I've likely missed a few. If I have missed/forgotten you (or your name wrong) I am sorry. Well done all of you.

Thank you Chris, thank you Dave, thank you David, thank you Andy, thank you James, thank you Daniel, thank you Alex.

David Holmes was the name picked out of the hat. I've tagged him on Faceache, but he's also a member here. If you see this David please message our work mobile on WhatsApp.

Well done.

Thank you all so much for donating to the Stroke Association. Colin was/is looking in on here all of the time since he first became ill.

Then he got banned, simply as the owner presumed he was up to no good in some way for these absolutely stupid results.

thats madness!

Thank you Darren, thank you Dave, thank you Jack, thank you Dean, thank you Andrew, thank you Alex, thank you James.

Thank you all for the kind donations.

I will be putting all names of donators from here & Faceache into a hat and drawing someones name on the 1st April. I'll post the winner of the £200 of hook baits on here. It's a chance to get some Krill, Cell, Bug, or anything whatsoever where the base mix & powders are publicly available for sale. Made our way, put through our process. It could be your own bait, made into a hook bait form by us. This is not available to anyone else whatsoever.

This is the same Colin Hunt back in September 2015 with a 50+ UK Common. He caught this (the biggest in the lake), also the second biggest (uncaught for three years) + three others in his first & only four nights as a member. Then he got banned, simply as the owner presumed he was up to no good in some way for these absolutely stupid results.

He caught them all on S2.
