UK slingers meetup - Jan 2025
Nov 27th, 2024 at 2:01pm
 
As many of you know the late CA's SITH sling is circulating round slingers worldwide, and it has for now returned to the UK. The idea being: you receive it, use it a little and pass it to the next guy. See below:

https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1681754883/60

Rather than slinging seperately, me and Zud thought it would be cool to have a slinging meetup. There is a place a little south of Derby which Alex has frequented for slinging, it is apparently the centre of the three places which claim to be the centre of England. We think it would be a fitting place for a meeting to use Alex's final sling and also perhaps just have a bit of a slinging session and a pint after.

For now, we are aiming for a meeting at some point in Jan 2025, however, this might change.

The purpose of this thread is to get the news out! Any UK slingers that want to join are welcome. Just put your name down or drop me a message if you are curious.

As you know, I'm in.

I am looking forward to a relaxed day out.

If it helps, I live on alluvial sand so have access to a supply of good slingstones - smooth and round !

If it helps anyone decide, I don't mind bringing a load with me.

😁👍

Awesome stuff guys! Thumbs Up

Let me know if you want it pinned so it's in the top area.  We can also move the post to the Competition and Events board and pin it at the top there.  This would certainly qualify as an event.  It's also totally fine where it is.  Just let me know.

That would be great. There's no good stones near me!

Ok, consider stones for slinging in collection mode.

My next post in this thread was to be raising the question of wether we should publicise this on Facebook worldwide slinging.
I see some weirdo called Coulter has already done so !
Good call David.
I have looked at the diary and can only consider alternate weeks due to child care issues.
I am going to suggest a Saturday as it is less likely to be a working day.
I think the 4th of January is too close to new year.
So 18th or better yet why not just say Sat 1st Feb. Easy to remember.
😁👍

So, invite open to any UK slingers to meet up at noon on Saturday the first of February, 2025.
Precise location to follow but on the A444 at Swadlincote, south of Derby so you can start planning.
If cowboys say yee haaa, what do slingers say ?
😁👍
