What's your other hobby?

[Gerry]

If you like killing things then fencing might be for you.

Some people start it thinking it's a bit like ballet / dancing and a bit airy-fairy, but especially the weapon we use (Epee) is not a bit like that.
It's "stuff them before they stuff you", and you can hit them anywhere (toe to head) any how, any time (after the ref says fence) !
You are not judged on how you do it, just how successful you are.
This suits my awkward Neanderthal style a treat

I fence at two clubs, Warminster on Wed - small & friendly, and Bath on Thursdays - bigger and less so I think.
We take anybody anytime at Warminster but Bath have three Newbie courses a year. Both have all the kit.

Tell ya what, if half a dozen people wanted a go I'd set a "come & try it" morning up at Warminster Sports Centre (I coach as well) so you could have a go with other Newbies - just a thought !

nice bird gerry [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

There's nothing like being out in the countryside on an autumn day, sun in the sky, stiff chill in the air, and a nice bird on your fist ;D

[Robf]

sounds awsome gerry, might even have a go if you decide to get a newbies day together =)

Gerry......your talents are endless..... an impressive list I must say......but you didnt add the hobby of writing!!.....another thing you really are good at [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Anyway, if you ever do go back to the hawks etc....please let me come and watch.....Im fascinated by birds of prey and love watching them fly and hunt etc (probably not the correct terminology) but you know what I mean lol xx

Woah woah woah. I don't want to kill anyone i've just always fancied a go at it. It looks graceful but dangerous at the same time. If you have any beginer sessions coming up PM me. Just to fore-warn you i will be crap.

Here's some of the things I like to do, I wouldn't call them hobbies as such because I get paid for it

Me mucking about whilst caving


Extreme clay pidgeon shooting


Being a hooker (I'm the one at the front)


Me playing with my bollocks(fuel bollocks)


I like being tied up


Being a tourist (to the max as well)


I like to be under big things


There's more but I'm unable to put them on here for certain reasons but I'll put this on here to give you a giggle



Not my regular uniform but I do like to let my hair down ;D

Hey Gerry, I remember seeing that Supra around Westbury. Nice looking car. What sort of times did it run at the Pod? I'm guessing with 400bhp, low 13's high 12's?

[Gerry]

Mark:
Spot on, hoping for high 12s next month at "Supra-Pod" rear wheel drive traction and quite a heavy car doesn't help. If I can get some cheap drag radials before then then I recon mid 12s.
This is the one in the club to beat: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthr...t=drag+radials


Rob:
I'll keep you posted, but I'll sort something out if a few want to have a go.

Beamer:
Not talents, just stuff I do - and I've had a very long time to stuff in :-)
"Fly & Hunt" are spot on, although we Austringers usually just say "killin stuff"

Wiltshire:
Funny, I've never seen it as "graceful" more like just "scary" :-)
