Hi Mick and Danny,

Warragul Drouin will be back again.

I'd say you can bank on 50% of the club turning up this year :-)

Me and Richard!

Catch you then.

G'day all,
after a short chat to Mick L at the Vicpol gamers this year, I offered to provide a couple of prizes for the OPM, since I'm a bit slow with the tech side of putting picture into ozfc, check out this link.

A few more to go, but I was thinking of the Sinclair Int 25rd loading block with integral tray but having only 15 rounds for use on the mound or for 500m fly shoots. Any thoughts? any other wooden products that you or others might like to have.

Wow Ned you do a great job on these trays, they will certainly add to our prize table.
Everything is looking good to go for a great weekend of shooting on the 20/21 July. Come and see our new target numbers, we have finally ditched the old car bonnets

Full catering one site, evening meal Saturday and free camping.

Just putting the finishing touches to the range and it's looking a treat.
With only 5mm of rain all week I think that we were very lucky.

So it's full steam ahead

See you all in the morning :-)

For those that werent there, bad luck, you missed out on a great weekend.

Roll on next year.

While the weather was a bit crap as Danny has said it was a good weekend.When Carolyn said on Sat morning lets go l think we all thought she was joking but no she was right it slowly went from absolutely crap to not to bad.It was a good comp and the food on sat night was fantastic it may have been cold out side but spot on in the club rooms.The club did a fantastic job in less than perfect conditions as did the markers and the Twins in the pits were as usual keeping things going spot on.well done we will be back.Michael & Liam Hall

RAIN, I don't know what people were worried about....me included! Friday night at Stawell was my decision point, and I decided to continue on.

The weather was OK, and the odd patch of sun came out to warm us all up :-)

Along with the scones and great food, it made shooting a pleasure.

As usual they put on the cold weather, but at least this year we didn't have frost on the mounds!

Well run prize meeting, congratulations to the Team that put on such a great event. The decision on Sunday to shoot 2 x 15 shot matches was a smart one, as it allowed for an early finish. I certainly appreciated that, due to the long drive home (5+ hours).

Well done to Daniel Bennett who took out F Open! Even if he called me a wimp for using the 7mm at 600 yards. My excuse is that I couldn't be bothered changing barrels for the last range ;-)
