22.01.2022 COVID-19 Update: 27 November 2020 Heading toward normalwhatever we remember that to be.. Thanks as always to Archery Victoria and City of Kingston for their respective approvals of our latest Return to Play Plans, we got final sign off later this afternoon.... Following last Sunday’s announcements we’re good to go with the details outlined by Mick yesterday. Condition of entry to MAC is that you must read and follow the instructions posted at the entry gate, the highlights being: There will be a maximum of 50 archers (plus support staff) on field at any time. Clubrooms and toilets will be used subject to density cap of 1:4sqm, a designated volunteer will monitor and ensure facilities are cleaned on a regular basis (with instructions and cleaning products placed in bathrooms for individuals to self-clean before and after use as well), masks must be worn within these facilities and clear signage will inform this Ozbow sessions Saturday and Sunday 9.45am to 12.pm will be open to all members (Full, Ozbow and temporary carded members all welcome). There is no need to pre-book, we will manage the numbers should we get close to the 50 person cap No Come n Try sessions available at this time (sorry) We are hiring equipment which will be cleaned stringently in between usage Continue to BYO food and drink and sunscreen given the forecast Club competition with scoring will commence subject to conditions stay tuned for further detail MAC can take bookings for schools and community groups subject to them having exclusive use of MAC. Only those running or supporting the event can be present. Normal outdoor patron caps apply Face masks do not need to be used outdoors unless individuals are unable to keep 1.5m apart Where 1.5m can be maintained between archers, they can share a target but they must retrieve their own arrows. MAC Committee hopes this brings a smile to your face as we work behind the scenes to bring the club back to working order. As always let us know of any concerns, questions or feedback you have!

12.01.2022 Woohoo grass has finally been cut now all we need is a baler.

11.01.2022 The wait is over.. We’ve had some fun and seen some very creative designs in our alternative MAC shirt competition. Thank you to everyone that submitted their design(s), it’s been a delight watching the various compositions come in. And thank you to everyone that voted, we hope you all enjoyed the distraction. ... The criteria to win was: Person with the most votes Person could not place more than once The final votes were very close, just one point difference between each winner. And the winners are: First place: T - Justin Yuan Prize: $100 voucher to spend at MAC’s Pro Shop Second place: R Tony Spencer Prize: Lizzies Chocolates and a bottle of wine to the value of $75 Third place: E Kevan Smith Prize: Lizzies Chocolates to the value of $40 Congratulations to the winners, unfortunately we could only choose one shirt! Next steps: we will head to manufacturing stage, (Committee reserving the right to make slight modifications if need be). And we’ll get those prizes to the winners sorry Justin you can’t enjoy yours just yet but hopefully soon! Thank you all for your involvement in the competition and we’ll keep you posted when we have more news about how to purchase said shirt! M https://lizzyschocolates.com.au/

10.01.2022 Grass all cut come & try area and I made out the front of club house all neat & tidy down to distance posts, can't say much about some of the main field.

10.01.2022 Hi to all, hope you are staying warm, dry & healthy during this wintery blast. We have taken onboard feedback & tweaked the final design for the alternative MAC polo slightly. Nobody could be accused of being shot in the back, bum or high draws! The design aligns as close as possible to Justin's winning entry. Thank you Justin for the rework, much appreciated. The next step is to take this to the manufacturers this week & we hope you will be able to pre-order online shortly.... Similar to the example on display at the club some time back, the fabric will be 165gsm Mesh with side mesh vent panels - excellent for the coming Summer months. Stay safe folks while we keep working away on your wardrobe for the breakout!

Please bring hand sanitizer & use it. Wash your hands. . Masks may be removed outdoors, if 1.5m spacing can be maintained. . Closer & closer to covid normal...more to come soon! See more
