SHOOT POSTPONED Granite Belt Bowmen

#1 Post by kerry » Mon Oct 17, 2016 8:25 pm

Unfortunately folks we've had to postpone our shoot which was to be held at the end of this month [29/30 October] due to the rain. Our access road into the grounds has not been faring well , [800 odd metres of gravel/sand,] and with this afternoons storm and more rain forecast for the next couple of weeks we felt it best to postpone until next year , possibly in March or April depending on other trad shoots planned at that time. Anyway folks I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and if you could possibly pass on this information to others that had planned coming I would appreciate it . cheers kerry :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Mother Nature is a fickle mistress. That's unfortunate news Kerry. Thanks for letting everyone know.

Pooh Bum Bother, I was leaving Thursday and visiting a Mate a Warwick before the Shoot and was going Hunting after the Shoot - AAggghhhhh ! :[

A bit of local knowledge required, did Tenterfield cop enough Rain to cause issue's also ????

Very disappointing for all, especially the Club as Granite Belt Bowmen would have put in a lot of work, I'll rejig my Plans and hopefully be able to attend the rescheduled Shoot

Damn, that's a shame!

Hopefully not too much damage to the club and to home and farms in the area?

Best of luck for the remainder of 2016 and here's to being able to re-schedule in 2017.
