Thread: Toby (Ballsack) Memorial Shoot 14-15 Oct 2017

The 2017 Toby Goodley Sherp Memorial Gong Shoot (the Ballsack Memorial) 14-15 October 2017 OngaOnga Hawkes Bay

This thread is to get payment and final date information out to those intending to make the pilgrimage. There will be 100 spots available and the intention is those that pay first get the spot first.

So to get amongst it you will need to put $80 into the below account. You MUST put your forum handle in the transaction details or we may not know who you are. If you are paying for other people we will also need their name/s. If they are not on the forum put +1 etc.
Account is:

Basic info:
Food provided from Snags Friday night (13th) for the early birds to lunch Sunday. (Lunch and Dinner Saturday are fully catered hence the slight increase in cost, this frees up those at the event to enjoy the activities- I hear that Mel can shoot the pants of Dunc )
Unlimited tent sites near the woolshed.
The back of woolshed has some room for sleeping. (Note this is on the grating so you will need a good mattress)
I have the Horsefloat Hilton booked so that wont be available
Cold water taps.
3 x toilets.

More info including address etc. will come out closer to the event. The bonfire will be back but Luke won't be asked to light it

As per last year any additional funds left over will be going to charity.
Last year we ran an auction and raised a mammoth amount for the charity, we have not had the time to do another build this year so at this stage there will not be an auction. If you do however have something you would like to donate to be auctioned I am sure MC Philipo would jump behind the hammer in an instant J

Anyway thats about it for now.

Looking forward to seeing you all again

Good work mate

Likewise, have permission from the boss but just can't justify the $$ for travel from the other end of the country

Thanks guys, We don't need to know who won't be coming at this stage Thread ends up a ball of ball hairs

Paid & locked in. Thanks to the organizers for this - let me know if there is anything I can assist with

Last year was a great weekend, everything clicked so well, plus having the rifle to auction off ( put together by the some real good buggers off here ) & raising such an impressive amount ( thanks to two very generous forum members )

Re- an auction. I really enjoyed that last year but I think the value of the rifle was out'a most peoples price range so maybe we could auction off half a dozen "hunting related" prizes say around $200-500 value? I'll put the feelers out & see what local outfits would be keen to contribute

Often sequels don't live up to the original, but should be another great weekend

Paid. I'm going to shoot the 3500m gong with my 22

This is a great idea - I may have a few items that may be bundled together to create a bit of value for someone (I'm not looking a fobbing off shit gear to clear the cupboard...and there may be others who have items they don't use). There may be others who are keen to do the same. Charity auctions bring out the best in people for the most part, and it means that we can run multiple auctions for packages of gear donated from sponsors and members.

No, I will not be offering my Carbonlight.

Im in cheers guys
