Steve the club is 4km from Imbil township.... if you go over the bridge at the end of town (or beginning of town, depends where your staying) toward Kandanga I think it is (Mary Valley tourist drive 42) toward the "recycle" station, (or dump), it is a little way past that, up the road on the right Barsby Road, not terribly hard too get to.
If you need more info there is a map on the Gympie Field archers website, or send me a pm.

cheers
sue

ps if you've still got my card give me a ring.

there will be a few of on site a couple of days early too, if you want to come for a play, and with only 15 sleeps to go. :biggrin:

Hey Tony, with all the wintery weather you've been experiencing in Victoria of late, Gympie will make a very pleasant change, and you can get some sun. :lol:

cheers

Have been asked the question - do you have to be a member of the ABA to attend. The answer is no.
It is an open shoot, so when nomination paid, the visitors book must be signed to cover insurance.

See you in 6 sleeps time.. :biggrin:

There really isn't many sleeps now! Gympie is set to show you all the hospitality of our club so come along and enjoy what we have to offer, there will be lots of your mates there so don't miss out on the action. Camping is available from Wednesday, showers, toilets, lights and the practice range with care. Meals kick off on Friday night and will be available all weekend all you need to do is bring the bow and we will take care of the rest. [Sorry No Fires] See you there Cheers Gary & the Team from Gympie Field Archers.
