Thread: Toby Memorial - Where, what, why

Jealous and extremely proud of you lot is an understatement!
Well done @BRADS and all those involved.. A young mans life celebrated once more and some serious dough donated to charity!
I hope to bring a few from down South next year to sling some lead, chew the fat and do my part and graffiti Toby's namesake somewhere...

Sounds like an awesome weekend and enjoyed by all. Kudos to those who made it happen and a very rewarding result achieved. Pity I wasn't there but other prioities took pole position.

Home stretch, thanks again to all involved for an awesome weekend

Current NZHS membership is around 6000, and by the look and sound of things, you may end up with at least half of them on the farm next year @BRADS. @Rushy gonna need a bigger barby

Bring on a major sponsor or two and who knows where this could go.

Congratulations to all the organizers and crew for what appears to have been a highly successful weekend
Everyone getting there and back safe is the icing on the cake

You must have pulled over for a snooze too. I pulled in for a couple of hours rest in the Hundalees when my leg went nuts. Knew it wasn't too crack hot when it wouldn't hold me up when I decided I'd better walk to stretch it out. So I had a snooze for a couple of hours on the back seat as well. Awesome event and good to meet and talk to more of Toby's family.

Next years sketch needs to be bilingual. Yards AND meters.

I am SO VERY PROUD of you members of this forum!
I am gutted that time and work couldn't allow me to once again join you guys, tears hang in my eyes reading the posts and seen the photos, Toby was/is a very lucky "man" who knew many of you guys and make us, the other lot who didn't knew him in person, proud of everything he somehow thought us.
From my part, thank you to the hosts for facilitate the event, for the "behind the curtain" people who work and support the event, "WELL DONE"! You guys make me feel very proud to be part of this community
I will do everything to make next year event and many other events that i have opportunity organised by this great community.

Cheers to all those who post the reports and photos!

God bless you all!

Meters ?

What a bloody awesome weekend

Highlights for me in no particular order.

Meeting a great bunch of blokes

Being amazed at the accuracy of all the different firearms in use.

Smashing the 300m gong with @Marty Henry 132 year old trap door 45-70 Springfield

Admiring Toby's 270, well done all those that helped put this together.

And of course a big to those who dug deep into their pockets and bid on this rifle.

Sitting around the bonfire listening to everyone (myself excluded of course ) talking shit.

Sleeping in the woolshed (brought back some bloody good childhood memories).

Being part of an awesome event in remembrance of an outstanding young man.

Cheers
Pete
