coming to you live from the camping grounds of Gympie Field Archers. :biggrin:
There are now 12 camps set up, clout range done, surprise Sunday shoot done rolling disc done, tomorrow targets go out.

Temperature will be milder tomorrow and for the weekend, and don't forget your bug spray. Showers have been tested too. Lubbly Jubbly.

Only 2 sleeps to go, and we shall check out the drinks status. :lol:

I hope everyone travelling home didn't get caught in the rains.
We were all cooled down with a light shower on Saturday and then the rains fell today, after the last people had come off the course.
Everyone said the courses were good, a the variety of novelties as well. Food was great, company was fantastic as usual.
A big Well Done and Thank You to our club members who helped make this shoot a great success.
Mark this weekend on your calender for next years shoot.

cheers
sue

ps scores will be up soon.

I managed to dodge the hail but could see it off to one side, looked pretty violent. Hope all went through safely.

Hats off to the Gympie crew for another great weekend of archery, fun and food.
