Thought I would pop in and say Hello again. Finally made it to Australia and am now firmly ensconced in my nice new house in Melbourne Found somewhere with a big enough garden to practice my Archery as well so hopefully I will be able to start shooting again before the withdrawl gets too bad. Just need to start the search for a good local club now Picked up my new car today (A nice sensible Holden 3.8L Supercharged V6) so I'm off now to find some quiet roads and do the boy racer thing Will try and get up to date with the target league soon so be prepared to see some very low scores Gemms _________________ When in Danger or in Doubt, Run in circles scream and shout!
