WHAT TO BRING

Wear clothing that is not too baggy as clothing could get caught in the string. Tie back long hair & wear closed in shoes. eg. sneakers or Gumboots, as sometimes the ground at the range gets a bit soggy in the winter. NO sandals or jandals. Bring water and sunblock. If for any reason the class is cancelled we will let you know one hour before the session is due to start. Parents should stay with children under 14. Spectators might like to bring a chair and an umbrella as it can get pretty hot.
