Saturday night social function:

The Saturday night social function this year will be a Chicken and Salad Tea followed by a Quiz Night. Cost will be $10.00 adults and $5,00 children under 12 years. Competitors have been asked to advise us as soon as possible if they are coming so we can pre-order enough chickens for everyone. Pre-ordered tickets will be available at the time of registration. Tickets will also be sold at the range - but only to the limit of the chicken order.

As well, on this evening Target Rifle SA will be holding a small ceremony to name our function room the "David MacFarlane Room" in memory of David who would be well known to many members of our sport in Australia. Without David's outstanding efforts the Wingfileld facility would not exist. David passed away in November 2008.

Presentation Night Dinner:

Tuesday 14th  April – the Presentation Dinner will again be held at the Wingfield Range - in the David MacFarlane Room.

The cost will be $30,00 adults and $15.00 children under 12 years. The meal will be catered - roast beef and port, a selection of 5 salads, chat potatoes, bread rolls and choice of 3 desserts. Prior to the meal, we will have nibbles and a free drink in the foyer.

The bar will be open, and shooters are reminded that the terms of our licence stipulate that no liquor must be brought onto the premises privately, so, if you have a particular beverage in mind and we do not have it, please let us know.

Again, shooters have been asked to advise as soon as possible if they are coming as we must advise our caterers before Easter how many they will be catering for. Pre-ordered tckets will be available at the time of registration. Tickets wioll also be sold at the range - but only to the limit of the numbers advised.
