Well, 365 days to go. Start booking your flights to New Zealand
Whangarei Pistol Club will be hosting the match from Tuesday 8th November 2016 to Friday 11th November 2016. Match Dinner 12th.
Un-Official Program is as follows.
Match Range facilities are available for Practice from Monday 31st October to Sunday 6th November, range is closed Monday 7th for Maintenance and testing.
Official Website will be up and running from 7th November (next Saturday) NZ Time.
This will slowly have information added concerning Hotels, Vehicle Rentals, Ammo, Reloading Equipment and Supplies for those who need. NZ Police requirements and procedure’s and links for import and re-export of firearms. Place for storage of firearms if you need for any pre-match or post-match travel.
Timing of match is to allow most people from US or EU to get here and back to family before the Thanksgiving (US) and the Europeans to get back in time for their Winter Holidays J.
This may cause issues with some as the Northern Hunting Season is in and around this time. But any later, Thanksgiving for those in the US, expensive flights, no hotels, no dinner venue or range staff. Any earlier will be also cause problems at this end.
So we tried for the middle and hope we got it right.
Sponsor announcements later, we are working with some good folk and am hoping for more to come along.
A registration of interest and how many guests a competitor would likely be bringing would be useful information for the organising committee to know earlier rather than later. A form will be attached to the website later this week.
All info on the following will be on the website by the end of November.
NZ Police requirements for Import and Re-Export of Firearms
Hotels
Ammunition or Reloading needs
Importation of Ammunition if you wish to send ahead.
Vehicle Rentals
See you next November
