I have included above a link to download the official entry forms. This needs to be filled out and sent off with your payment to Rex Wigney at the QRA(see form for Rex’s details.) Unfortunately The QRA has put us under the “Full Bore” section and so that’s the section at the top that needs to be filled in with your total fees etc as well as the match specific sections at the bottom.
Please also note that there is also a 500 Metre FLY shoot on Monday the 1st at the SSAA Harry Madden range (On the other side of the bellmont complex), and this can be found on the last section of the nomination forms under “SSAA”.

We are planning to have lunch available to shooters on both days from QRA catering at a modest cost. We need to advise catering of the number of people who would like lunch provided so anyone interested can contact me directly via PM or at trentech@optusnet.com.au Last year they provided sandwiches etc, however they tell me that they now have a mobile BBQ so it may well be BBQ instead. I’ll keep everyone informed as I know more. We are also planning to host an informal dinner function on the Saturday night at the onsite QRA Facilities. Costs for the dinner are yet to be advised but should be around the $25 mark for a main and a desert. This was a great success last year and we would highly recommend it. Booking is essential though so anyone interested can you advise me ASAP if you would like to attend the dinner. Of course family and friends are most welcome to attend also..
