The second in Onga Onga was pretty much the same, just with better plans put into place to coupe with the numbers turning up, but also so much more work for Duncan & Mel to do & organize.

The third in Kurow was an awesome weekend, Harry G was the instigator of this one & did a great job to get everything put together, was great to catch up with all the SI grew.


Then the March ChCh attack occurred & while an attempt was made to run an event that year it was just not going to happen, the media pressure on FAL holders & all the logistics of trying to run a shoot at that time was a nightmare

Then the last two years it's been the poxy Covid, sadly with the braindead new range restrictions coming in next year this might be the last Onga Onga TGMS, but who knows what's down the line


I'll probably run an online auction again at the end of the month as it's nice to keep Toby's memory alive with a donation in his & the NZHS forum, plus think it's good for the public image of us on here to support a great cause

Good on ya Philipo!
