Hi Guys looking forward to seeing you all again, there have been a lot of changes at the clubgrounds, and those who came last year will be surprised. we also hope to have some new fun events, so bring plenty of arrows.

[BigBenno]

we hope to make the trad feast bigger and better as well, we would like a table 100 people long, that would make an awesome photo.

[BigBenno]

There will be framed certificates for each event, and bow type. remember to bring your boogie board shield for the castle clout. this event was a lot of fun last time and we now have a new twist which we think you will all enjoy

[BigBenno]

The weather has also been good to us and should continue on, so we should not see a rerun of last years light mist (lol)

So you mean that the mist will be a downpour

Club grounds have been improved dose that mean more camping area?

[BigBenno]

g'day mate, we have extended the clubrooms and put on a verandah, we are building a machinery shed and planted an orchard, as well as fixed up the venue a bit

[White Hawk]

This event is fast approaching so if anyone is thinking of coming to the biggest event south of the boarder then please get your entries in. It aids the organisers greatly to know how many people they are catering for.

If you don't come for anything else come for the feed... juicy spit roast meats and tressle tables a 100 people long, a feast not to be missed all in one of the best archery facilites in the country...

Help us finish the southern series of trad tournaments with a bang, and catch up with all your friends from across the country.

We want everyone to make a shield for the castle clout, boogie boards work best, painted with your family crests.
Also working on prizes for the best costumes. this is going to be a great weekend. plenty of camping available. get your entries in asap please

[jfruitcake]

Costumes???

You mean you want us to wear our weekend clothing ( 14th Century)?

[hardgainer]

With commitments myself and several others can only shoot the Saturday. Any problem??.
If OK... what would be the program for Saturday.

[The Gnome!]

As you know I won't be making it Dang finances..................But on the bright side there has been a confirmed 4 from H.V.T.A. that are coming the form will be sent on monday or teusday next week.

Also is Timbo going?

[gundy]

Ha! How things work out...

Now that I am onshore it looks, for good: I may just be able to make this one!

Looking forward to the hunting round...

[Len]

This is always a fantastic event ( and the dinner is first rate ) and I would urge all archers to support it. If large events like this don't get supported then clubs soon wont go to all the effort of hosting them.

[BigBenno]

Just a quick reminder that the time is nearly here, please get in any entries, looking forward to the shoot.
see you all in a fortnight. The venue is bigger and better than last year, and we would like this event to be bigger and better. The more that come the more we can do for next years shoot. Timbow will be there. Also we have a lot of our own club members interested and would love to get a bigger turnout than last year.
Most importantly the traditional feast will be bigger and better.
Peter

[BigBenno]

Last year when I was there, the camping was on a nice green lawned area. There were a few small trees here and there too. There's toilets nearby and there's hot showers in the clubhouse.

I believe you can set up on Friday night, I did that myself last year and I also intend to do the same this year.

You won't have to worry about bringing any food, as everything is supplied in much the same manner as the Dunolly shoot.

You won't believe the facilities when you see them. They're impressive to say the least.

Last year we were flooded out, but it was still a great shoot. If the weather is only slightly better this time, it will be a fantastic shoot.

Gav and I will arrive before dark on Friday night. It's going to be great catching up with you and the gang again.

Mick

[Trad Bound]

Thanks Mick
See you there Friday night.
thanks for the info.
with my bright red Flu Flu's

I guess I better book in soon too.
Cheers TonyJ

[White Hawk]
