UPDATE - 28 OCTOBER
WE NOW HAVE 55 ENTRIES this leaves just 20 places before the wait list starts. If you know anyone who intends coming and has not nominated yet, please give them the link below.
I received a number of nominations after the NSW Coady Classic last weekend.
I will post the first draft of the rotation in mid November.
Any questions email me please?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heads up good people,
I have just posted the nomination form for the -
2009 SSAA(ACT) Australia Day Benchrest Matches on the ACT BR site:
http://www.actbenchrest.com/
Just a couple of reminders
1. Please fill out the form in full detail that way you won't be flogged mercilessly for not having submitted your equipment details.
2. important details such as flag and equipment sharing arrangements and if you are a Southpaw are necessary to minimise organisational stress.
Remember the courtesy principle - ask the flag owner first before you nominate someone else's flags.
3. There is a 3 relay limit and given 2009 will be a 3 day event you can expect to be wait listed if you don't get in early.
Any questions email me.
POSTSCRIPT
I will add answers to the individual questions that I have been emailed on here to save retyping emails -
1. The course of fire will be Sporter 100 - 200 Sat, LV 200 - 100 Sun, HV 100 - 200 Monday.
2. Camping and caravanning is permitted $5/night power for lights - no cooking - use gas.
3. Catering will be supplied for late brekkie and lunch
4. Showers are available
5. Open fires are likely to be banned (it is January in Canberra and we are nervous after 03)- that doesn't mean we won't get 3 inches of rain on Sunday afternoon.
6. Plenty of good evening restaurants and takeaway places in Dickson 5 minutes down the road.
7. If you are booking a bed in town don't wait about- Australia Day is a busy weekend in Canberra.
The old hands will tell you that, many of them stay in Queanbeyan 20 minutes down the road at reasonable rates.
Please check the update entry in the original post. It is a reminder for anyone who hasn't nominated yet.
Cheers
ZORBA
Please read in original post details on update #2.
basically the wait list has started.

Hi Alex I sent an email but was wondering about practice days for Australia day is the range open during the week?:was hoping to get 2 in if things workout.Thanks Jim
Jim,
Thanks for asking and for any first timers -
The range is open to members and visiting SSAA Members every day of the week 9 till 4 except for the days of competition.
We will be setting up first thing Friday morning (with help) to allow flag placement and then some further practice and sighting in on Friday afternoon will be available. Earlier in the week won't be a problem.
I remind you that you will need your shooter's license and your membership proof with you, else you won't be competing. Late Friday arrivals can set their flags up after range closure on Friday evening you have enough light to do that until around 8.45 pm or very early Saturday morning. Barring Australian summer weather mixups, cyclones, snow etc we will start at 9 am each day.
Also be aware the ACT Law requires your gun case to be chained and padlocked in a secure part of the vehicle whilst travelling in the ACT. Ammo and bolt to be separately secure from the rifle in the vehicle.
Also bring your full range of weather gear because we have been known to start in 35 degree heat and be flooded out the same day.
Catering will be available during the match days plus there are plenty of takeaway and restaurants available nearby (5-7 minutes by car)
Cheers
Zorba

Hi Zorba
There seems to be a double up in the draw.
Nick Catlin appears in detail 2 starting bench 19 and detail 3 starting bench 4
Cheers
Greg
He who share's win's
Alex
I'm sure Kenny Yates isn't going to Canberra...will get him to confirm.
Steve
Thanks for reading the draw you guys, I'm getting a little cross eyed from looking at it.
Steve, can you ask Ken to email me please?
Thanks for the heads up on Nick he's a clever man, can be in two towns at once but I bet he can't make it to two benches.
That error is fixed and Arnie Boyd is now in.
ZORBA
Alex,
Spoke to Kenny and he said he had sent you an email the day after I spoke to him to tell you he wasn't coming. Have you received it cos he's still in the draw?
Steve
Steve,
He certainly did and I had one of my senior's moments. Now fixed.
Thanks for checking Steve.
Cheers and see you all soon.
