Cannon Brits
« on: October 08, 2008, 11:23:26 PM »
I'm in the UK - There MUST be other Brits who are keen on cannonry. Can we establish contact ? - Or does everyone work solo over here ?
It would be nice to get some kind of alliance started for all our benefit.

Hi.    I also live in UK (Hampshire).   Although there seems to be plenty of black powder shooting of rifles. muskets etc. nothing appears to happen with cannon and mortars. Shame but perhaps because our laws are much more strict?  Try MLAGB.

It's called the Ordnance Society http://freespace.virgin.net/ordnance.society/

I bought life membership for 150 quid, the newsletter is a real treat if you're a cannon freak  ;D

best regards
