Breaking News! Our new web shop is now online, after a huge learning curve and weeks of work until late at night poring over a hot PC screen its finally ready!
The new shop gives us the ability to include '1 offs' which we couldn't do before in case two people purchased the same item, but the new shop has an inventory count which will prevent this. In addition it works in realtime, so any updates we do are instant, this means that stock will change dynamically as it arrives! In addition we have linked to Protx for payments which gives a higher level of customer security and also means that customers giving us incorrect card numbers are a thing of the pass, no need now for us to phone and say "can I just check this with you please"!
If that wasn't enough, customers now have the ability to form wish lists, open accounts, apply for subscriptions for email catalogues and updates such as new stock lists which we will begin to issue once the list is populated.
So, make sure you keep coming back on a regular basis as the new shop is going to keep changing as new items arrive.

BELTRING
WAR AND PEACE SHOW 2006

War and Peace show staff 2007

Well this year was interesting, still a good show as always, but the rain made ground conditions appalling, didn't stop the hardy souls who attended from going round the stalls though! One chap even brought a snow mobile into the stall area!

This is a picture of this years crew on the stall, same faces as always and a pleasure to have them with us.

From left to right: Ian Durrant, Mandy Durrant (owners), Kevin 'Gerbil' Brackston, Tony Brassington and Jason Ross, all still smiling, but note the ground and the wellies!

 

competition winner 2006

Mr Lee Higgins was the winner of the War & Peace radio competition at the show, prizes donated by the Gunner are handed to Mr Higgins (right) By Director Ian Durrant(although you wouldn't guess it from his appearance, but it was hot!)

The show was huge as usual, Ian got to play with a couple of 75mm Pack How's courtesy of Neil King on the Monday, the rest of the week was spent trying to survive the heat and keeping up the fluid intake, beer down, fruit juice up!! Didn't stop the team having a few beers in the cooler evenings outside the stall though!! But the heat was exhausting and meant that early nights becme the norm.

Having heard various worrying rumours it is now beginning to sound like the show will be secure for next year and beyond, here's hoping!

The only downsides appeared to be the proliferation of complaints about the irresponsible use of children's pellet guns and Quad bikes which was potentially dangerous and at the very least irritating. We were selling BB's but had an age 18 rule and were advising parents that they were prohibited from using the gun on site.
