The Handakas Garrison will be running it’s annual October Camp in the stunning Mt Crawford forrest once again. It’s a low key event for NVG members to come spend time in kit, eat, fight, drink and be merry.

There will be food provided (for a fee, will be determined ASAP) and some tent space should be available for those that need it. There are onsite loos but no hard accomodation. Bring any fighting kit, Archery gear and current projects do it on site while we enjoy the long weekend. Site is booked from Saturday morning and pack up will be on Monday Afternoon.

Feel free to invite other members and spread the word a bit, more the merrier! If you’ll need food and tentspace we really need to know by the 21st of September! Thats the sign up cutoff date. You’ll still be welcome after that but we won’t be able to cater for you. Hope to see lots of you there!

We had yet another fantastic year at the Gumeracha Medieval Fair this year. We will have a write up about it in the coming weeks. In the mean time, one of our members, Steve, was filming at the fair for his Great Southern Stand show, you can watch it on his youtube channel.

Anyone who is camping with us please take note; Meals will be priced at $10 Per Person, Per Meal. We are not counting Breakfast in this pricing model, so anyone staying for all 3 meals (Sat Lunch, Sat Dinner, Sun Lunch) can expect to pay $30. This is payable to Jen BEFORE the fair, as she has indicated that she does not want to have to chase up people.

Unfortunately we are no longer able to attend the Mt Plesant Show, apologies for the late notice.

I am sad to say that the Jewelry workshop planned for this weekend will not be happening due to Chips’ car breaking down. On the other hand it does mean that as a group we are no longer in conflict with the Mt Pleasant show on the Saturday.

On the 19th of March, we will have some members attending the Mt Pleasant Show to setup a static display. On the same weekend, Chips will be staying with Drew and Fi, and we will be holding a jewelry workshop with him on both days. This way people who are busy on one of either days can still do the workshop (this includes the members attending Mt Pleasant).

We have updated the calender with a host of important dates.

A jewelery workshop by Chips has been proposed for the 19th/20th February. Our doing night in February will be used to plan for GMF. In March there is a show at Mt Plesant on the 19th, and Banner and Flag workshops on the 12th and 26th.

Also a big reminder that GMF is coming up on the 30th of April to the 1st of May, we would like as many members as possible to come up on Friday the 29th if April to assist in set-up.

In other event news Hayley and Jay have invited Handakas to have a BBQ at their house on the 29th of January, if you don’t know their address get into contact with Hayley at training or email the webmaster.

Just a quick reminder that we are resuming training on the 19th at Beefacres Hall, more details are here.
