A big thanks to all those people. Thanks also to our sponsors Gun Smoke Bathurst, Keppel Street Newsagency, Browyn Aberley from Georgeousness and Citigate Mount Panorama Resort and members who contributed to the events. Because of time constraint on Sunday afternoon the fi nal event was reduced by 20 targets, the Club has decided to make a donation through the NSW Clay Target Associations Fund for fl ood affected Clubs in Queensland.

A few of us think that Walshy must have been in Fiji about 16 years ago, New Zealand 2011 except for skin colour he is a dead ringer for the Walrus from Broken Hill.
