Hi all

Well it's 12 weeks to the Gathering, not that i'm counting, but I'm just letting you all know that.

I have also sent out invitations to all those who are in my address book
(and it's a big one).

If there is anyone wishing to attend you can let me know via this web site or just turn up at the Gathering. The invitations are only for numbers as we need them for the Catering.(not that I have trouble catering for you all.)

See ya!

Trish

Hey whats the go with food there? Do you buy each meal or take your own food or what? Am really excited bout going for the first time. It should be a blast from what I've heard

The Gnome! · #11 Post by **The Gnome!** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 2:20 pm

Which ever you please to do Joel.

All meals are at very reasonable prices or you can bring your own or a combination of both

Also on the the friday night of "The Gathering" H.V.T.A. has free stew.

Yours In Archery,

Gnome!

trish · #12 Post by **trish** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:26 pm

Hey Gnome,

Don't tell everyone that there is free stew on Friday night. We' ll have every man and his dog turn up

Nah. It's ok, apparently the stew is good (not that I have any)

Obviously I've been slacking with replies. I do work ya know.

All prices are reasonable, so buy from us or just bring your own.

Look forward to seeing you there.

perry · #14 Post by **perry** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:35 pm

I had a crack at the craft show last year everyone , it was a very interesting display of the skills that are out there in the traditional archery world . Dont worry if you think your workmanship is not up to scratch who knows you may surprise yourself and most certainly there will be plenty to inspire . The important thing is to carry on the traditional skills required in archery . regards Perry

trish · #15 Post by **trish** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:39 pm

Well Trad Archers

Not long now, so dust off your equipment cause the Gathering is just around the corner.

Fully catered canteen, reasonable prices, or just bring your own food and cook on your camp fire.

Weather should be great, but whatever the weather we still have a good time.

See you there.

Any questions, don,t hesitate to email me.

Trish

trish · #16 Post by **trish** » Sun May 06, 2007 12:52 pm

Update.

For those who don't already know, at the Gathering, we have a Broadhead range, and it's for 16 years and over. Gold coin to participate.

So if you wish to participate in this range, bring your broadheads.

THIS IS THE ONLY RANGE THAT BROADHEADS CAN BE USED.

THEY CANNOT BE USED ANYWHERE ELSE AT THE GATHERING.

THIS IS A CONTROLLED RANGE ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE UNDER STRICT SUPERVISION BY RANGE MARSHALS

Well archers

It's almost here. THE GATHERING 2007

The forcast is for rain but after looking on the radar, not too sure.

We don't mind if there is rain, we still have a GREAT time.

This is my last post as I will be out at the club from tomorrow.

I will check this site before I go in the morning.

Bring your wet weather gear just in case and plenty of warm clothing.

Maybe a rum or two will also keep you warm.

See you all there

Trish

trish · #23 Post by **trish** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:56 pm

Hi Trad Archers, due to bad weather we have postponed

the gathering and our new date will be the october long weekend we had 30 plus turn up and all have agreed to change it to the october long weekend.

It'l be the same line up as it would have been for this weekend, more info will be forwarded on when im no longer water logged

Steven J · #24 Post by **Steven J** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 3:06 pm

I am truly dissapointed that the event is cancelled; mainly for all the HVTA's. I saw how much organisation went into the event last year and know that this year would have been another mammoth effort for no return. We will all be looking forward to October.

Joel · #25 Post by **Joel** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 3:14 pm

Damn, I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, guess I will see you all in October!

adam · #26 Post by **adam** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 7:08 pm

Choking, done the drive up from canberra on the flooding roads and past the sydney crazed drivers(traffic backe dup big time). My trophys and framed pictures got wet, yep thats how high the water was across the road in some spots. Im now in newcastle were the water is rising, over half a meter on the street. But heck what can ya do. Hopefully can make it in october.

My wife said it would be cancelled but I just kept saying"nor it will be right" like there would be miricle blue sky just over the shoot, he he.

Coach · #27 Post by **Coach** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 7:25 pm

Geez ,, there is going to be some cranky campers

Shoulda listened to your wife Adam , it's been raining for days

adam · #28 Post by **adam** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 12:25 am

Ahh what can ya do, good for the farmers and water supply.

My mothers house is under water and my sisters house 1 meter deep in water and rising, lost the lot. I personally only just got out, but the family is safe and for that I thank God. Hope everyone else in newcastle is safe and well.

Hope everyone is safe and well.

Brumbies Country · #30 Post by **Brumbies Country** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 4:38 am

Having attended last year and seen all the work that went into the organisation, extreme sympathy to HVTA. I must admit to wondering how it was shaping last night with the TV news showing the dramatic effects of the weather round the Newcastle/ Hunter region.
