HVTA is moving...
We aren't moving far though, just over onto the back paddock where the broadhead range usually is.
At the start of this year the club was informed that we had to move. Where our current clubhouse sits is on the border of privately owned land and council owned land and the club has been asked by the council to demolish and move away from the border.
If the past two years weren't hard enough, we now have this mammoth task to pull down everything and move. The 2022 Gathering is cancelled, along with our October charity shoot. Our normal Sunday shoots remain the same, so please keep coming along to support the club while we move. Any assistance from club members to help us move will be greatly appreciated.
Our access to the club from the M1 may also change once the new M1 Raymond Terrace extension begins work, so please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for future updates.
Update 2/6/22 - Our next step in the move will be to move the shipping containers to the new location. Originally we were due to move the containers this weekend (4-th 5th June) however due to unforeseen circumstances the planned working bee for this weekend has been called off. Please check back later on for updates.
Update 12/6/22 - Well, it would have been great weather for The Gathering this weekend, sadly it was not to be. We got a lot done this weekend, the three shipping containers have been moved to the new spot and very little of the original clubhouse remains. It is sad to see the last part of the clubhouse torn down, especially on what would have been our Gathering weekend. A weekend that's usually full of archery, tall stories & laughs being shared around a campfire. Instead we held a regular Sunday shoot where members helped with the move and tried to keep the club running as normally as possible. We hope the Gathering will be back in 2023 and we look forward to seeing you all again in our new spot.
While the Gathering and the Charity shoot are cancelled for 2022, our regular Sunday shoots will continue as normal, please keep coming along to support the club while we move.

HOW TO FIND US
Access to the range is off the M1 just before the Minmi turn off.
If you are coming from Sydney drive to the roundabout at end of the highway and do a u-turn back onto the highway and then there is a gate on your lefthand side which is padlocked. This is the first gate of two.
If you have any problems or if it is your first time at HVTA, please call the number listed on the first gate.
