Trad Get-together 2013/Wisemans Ferry shoot CANCELLED
I have just had a phone call from Rob, the Traditional Archery Get-together for 2013 at Wisemans Ferry has been cancelled due to extreme weather conditions all over NSW with roads being cut and the Hawkesbury River is on the verge of flooding onto Rob's property, and the shoot grounds are now absolutely saturated.

Thats a shame but not surprising with the amount of rain down here in the last month. Steve

I was so much looking forward to playing in the mud.
It would have just been like shooting in NZ

If Rob reschedules the shoot I am sure either he or myself will put something on ozbow. There was no talk of it at this stage.
cheers

ps. Mark, you'll just have to play in the mud in your own backyard now.

Sorry to here, just when we had a good crew coming from the Sunshine state, sunny Victoria. I hope everything works out and dries out soon.

Re: Trad Get-together 2013/Wisemans Ferry shoot CANCELLED
Last Sunday I drove through 400mm of a metre of water over a small bridge coming back from Robs after a quick shoot. The ground even then was very spongy under foot.
That little bridge was a fair bit higher earlier that day and a bloke in a commadore needed to be towed out Those height markers on the side of the road are there for a reason
Yet I visit people out Forbes Condobolin and Parkes the week before who have only just got rain in the last few days, and people had cattle and sheep graizing along the roads between Narromine and Condo, I might need a canoe to visit them next time
Things are a bit tough all round at the moment and waiting isn't the easiest thing to do either.

Re: Trad Get-together 2013/Wisemans Ferry shoot CANCELLED
Hi Sue,
and thanks for the heads up - it realy is appreciated as it would be long way to drive and I was planning to leave Brissie on Thursday morning. Now I have four days holidays to fill...hmmm I wonder?
A real shame as I was also really looking forward to this attending shoot for the first time as well. Hopefully Rob's property will not be badly affected?
So it looks like the Trad Rendezvous at North Albert will now be the first shoot - hopefully the weather settles and it can go ahead as planned.
Also, I hope no Ozbowers have been badly affected by the rains and that things settle quickly now.

At least with a reschedule I may actually be able to make it for the first time this year.
Hopefully Rob fairs through the bad weather OK.
