Erron,
The grounds are at Bells Rd, Haddon, which is on the western side of Ballarat. I've put a link on the shoot notice that will bring up a map to the club grounds.

Here it is again

http://www.geocities.com/ballaratbow/maptoballbow.html

The grounds are pretty easy to find, but I would suggest anyone who is not sure where to go, just click this link, and when it comes up, print out the page to get the map.

Thanks for your interest. I dont mind answering questions about the shoot, but its probably better to run any enquiries past

Ianruddick@dodo.com.au or Phone 53 428704,

because Rudd's wife, Faye is the catering officer ( fabulous cook) who will be organizing the canteen, and it would be a great help if Faye could get an estimate of people planning to come up.

Catch you all there, Woody :D

Steve,

Got any photos of your bow? doesn't matter how rough it is. With good arrows it'd be just as deadly as any factory bow. :wink:

Trash one,
We have a small regional airport at Ballarat, but I think most people would go thru Melboune airport and catch the shuttle bus up the road. Its about a 50 /60 minute drive from Ballarat to Melbourne.

Heres a link to the shuttle bus service details. Hope this is helpful.
