Two days of amazing fox hunting in the hands of Tim VK5AV and Greg VK5ZGY.
For the Convention on Sunday the dinner is coming together and we are getting great support for our commercial and amateur pre-loved tables. Last year they put on a really great show of gear to drool over and 2025 looks even better. Some nice prizes shaping up too. As information comes to hand we’ll let you know through this page.
Table bookings, dinner bookings ($25/head) and general information to Tim VK5AV via: sergconvention@gmail.com
In the meantime here’s the information provided to WIA News.
Will there be a 2025 SERG Convention? Absolutely.
Following the success of the 2024 Convention and Fox Hunting Championship the club made a unanimous vote to do it again in 2025.
Details still to come, but it will be on the King’s Birthday Weekend in June (Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th) in our usual venue at the Scout Hall in Mt Gambier and environs. Our foxes are planning their usual challenges – did we hear “The more mud the better?”
Time to make accommodation bookings, the Kings birthday weekend is a popular tourist weekend in Mt Gambier.
See you there.
