Just a quick post to let all Manchester Birding Forum members know that I retired yesterday and therefore no longer work at Focalpoint Optics! I had been there 24 years and have met lots of you in that time and many have become good friends of mine and I do bump into you frequently. I will remain affiliated to Focalpoint Optics as an ambassador, so I can still help anyone that I meet whilst out birding and will point you in the right direction, which will usually be the Focalpoint Showroom. I can still give an opinion on any dropped optics etc so don't be afraid to ask!! Focalpoint will carry on as normal and hopefully go from strength to strength and remain everyones first stop for all birding needs.

I must also thank Ian who has hosted us here on the forums and been there to help whenever we needed him.

I hope to see lots more of you whilst out birding, which now can be any day I like!! Bye for now, the Doc has left the building
