Hello from Suffolk UK ....
Mar 21st, 2008 at 10:27pm
 
By accident ( a happy one at that ! ) I came across Slinging.Org and within 5 minutes of rekindling my childhood had started to make my first sling in over 20 years , my lovely wife ended up finishing it ( in a quarter of the time it would have taken me ) , a few test shots later and I was back in the halcyon days of my youth ( apart from the horrendous Easter weather ) , so a little about myself now : I am 37 , happily married with a future slinger ( 18 months ) , I have an interest in the outdoors and am an angler and archer and now a reborn slinger apart from that there is probably little to interest anyone else for now , so hello you lot who's getting the beers in ?

Welcome from Australia,

Another born again slinger! Good to hear from you on the forum. There are several slingers in the UK so you may be able to get together with someone, C-A comes to mind most readily. He's in the Midlands.

Regards,

Aussieslinger

Mate, you have it made, a slingbraiding wife!. Make her an enthusiastic slinger too. The family that slings together clings together. Wink

My local went free house and ended up serving that same beer , it used to be a Greene King house ( apart from Abbot it was pish ) , though I doff my cap to the Welsh with their Rev James , but I will admit to an admiration to the Cider makers that us East Anglians are blessed with ( if slinging goes Olympic they will no doubt test for it ! )

Welcome!

There seem to be quite  a few English slingers coming up at the moment. What's going on? I hope you're not all cloned Curious Aardvarks. Wink
