Nice one Pete! Looking forward to the next chapters! Funnily enough it was Dickie Gales who put the link up to this on the BC Facebook page so I know he's seen it too.



Favour to ask though - what was the name of the big guy who used to work/run the NWC store in Dartford? I remember taking a bottle of vodka in to the shop late 88 to celebrate Christmas but never even got a sip of it. Didn't even see it come off the counter! Gutted I was.

That would have been Kenny Whale but you couldn't have seen him in 88 because the shop opened in 90 ... he used to be one of our players on NWC.
As for the vodka?
It wasn't me who nicked it :)

Brilliant! Thanks and 90 was it? That sort of makes sense. I seem to remember buying my first gun just after jury service which ended 88, but I only found out about the shop from your brother when he was in Lloyds and that would have been about 90

This is really cool I was a member of the Mayhem Tigers and played in the 89 tournament, I later played for the Ford team Pistol Knights
