Hello from Cambridge
Hi,
The names Tom. I found this great forum one lunchtime whilst Googling Lee Enfield. You see I have had an itch since I saw one as a kid in 1969. I mostly shot with airguns and shotguns as a kid until my mid twenties and then had a long break due to work, wimmin and other hobbies like motorbikes. Last year I re-applied for my SGC after deciding I was perhaps getting a bit old for wobbling round a scrambles track on an old BSA and falling off on a regular basis.
Reading this forum has shown me whats out there in terms of clubs, guns and shooting disciplines and you look a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable bunch. Seems I need to join a club and do the probation as a first step and decide what disciplines are the ones for me.
Best Regards
Tom

Re: Hello from Cambridge
Welcome to F-B(UK) you sound a bit like me although the 'bikes came a bit earlier with MX and Enduro in the 70's however I did spend a while on the obligatory Husaberg SM and then back to Enduro until about 5 years ago. These days I am happy enough to let my son do the racing and he has just finished his first year with TBEC with a creditable 11th in the E2 class which is acceptable for hist first year, especially considering he has not ridden an Enduro or similar until a couple of months before he started the season.
I also used to run a CCM so I hope you kept the BSA just in case....
