Early on the morning of March 1st, we lost one our longest serving group members to pneumonia. His suffering is over. Mike Hyde joined our Facebook community in May last year. He was very very keen on air pistols, especially his Crosman that he customised heavily. We would spend many a late hour messaging each other about our sport.

Mike was rough around the edges, a bit of a character, but he had a good heart. We will miss you Mike. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends.

As a close community, we would like to raise money for Mike's family to use as they wish. Be it to help towards funeral costs or for a charity of their choice or something else in Mike honour.

Rest in peace our friend.
