Jeez, I think I need to buy some shares in Qantas :)
I reckon this "TT Do" could almost guaranty the best trophy display most of us will ever see.
Who else from the site is planning on being there, it will be a memorable time for anyone coming that’s for sure.
Pete M do you know what awards are being held this year, framed photo award, mounted award etc etc, would love to know the finer details.

Sorry I've been way but this is from the Chairman Dave Whiting and was published in the lasted July T.T. newsletter.
As for the awards this year they will be the ones you mentioned Adam, plus all the other awards like the Bill Hill memorial trophy the Junior trophy the best of species of all the game rated this year and awards for any new number ones trophies that might have been rated in the year 07.
2007 Awards.
After much discussion it has been decided to hold this year’s Awards at the Community hall at Neurea a gazetted district some 20 kilometres south of Wellington NSW on the picturesque Bell River, in Central Western NSW. I utilised the Hall during the late 90's and ran a number of very successful invitational club shoots and I must say the basic facilities which include a dance hall for Trophy and Album display plus Awards Presentation, coupled with a large flat camping area with a couple of flushing toilets, nearby access to firewood and a small servo/truck stop just a couple of kilometres up the road with meals, fuel and shower facilities for a small fee, all lay the foundations for us to hold yet another enjoyable Awards. A few target butts will also be placed on a roped off area of the Grounds.
I have arranged to book the grounds and hall for a week either side of the actual Awards weekend and anyone wanting to come early or extend there stay for a bit of hunting and fishing would be most welcome. Neurea is also only 10 kilometres from the Wellington Caves one of the biggest cave systems in the state and around 60 kilometres from the Dubbo Zoo, both are very popular tourist attractions.
As many members are already know the Wellington district is a great area for we bowhunter’s however I need to mention that unlike previous years I will not be arranging specific hunting properties but will be happy to point members in the general direction to do a bit of door knocking. It is suggested that all those intending to hunt have some form of insurance cover in place through one of a number of hunter based Organisations that provide such cover.
Awards will be held on the NSW Labour Day weekend commencing Saturday 29 September 2007.
I would like to try and dedicate this years Awards to the likes of the late Kenny Reichel and Bill Hill, two of the most dedicated bowhunter’s and bushmen that I have ever encountered within our membership or hunters generally. One of the ways I would like to give this recognition is by trying to put on our biggest ever trophy and framed photo/photo album displays. For the past 20 years I have carted some of my best trophies and albums to every Awards from Darwin, Barcaldine and Maryborough in the north to the likes of Albury, Canberra, Goulburn and Bateman’s Bay in the south. This has not been done without some wear and tear on my albums and trophies however I feel it is a very important part of our Annual Awards and the whole TT culture and charter of PROMOTING quality hunting outcomes with the bow and arrow. I therefore ask that we all share the load this year and bring at least one of your hunting trophies to this years Awards. We already have a massive display board in place at the hall and I want to fill it to capacity with a little bit from everybody. PLEASE make the effort to contribute. Bring your DVD's and Videos as we will be showing them throughout each day for the enjoyment of both members and visitors
Also if you have any trophies not yet rated please get them in ASAP so that they can be considered for this years Awards.
During the early years of the Awards we always held a wild game banquette whereby each member brought along their favourite cut of game and prepared it at either their own campsite or at communal campfire utilizing camp ovens, spits etc and then sharing with all members on the night of the banquet. I would like to reintroduce this concept with a view to it happening on the Sunday night immediately prior to the Awards. The Sunday Night Awards will, as usual, be the only formally organised part of the Awards weekend.
For sake of your budget I mention that all TT Market items will be on sale over the weekend, plus we will have a camp fee of around $20 per individual and $50 per family to cover hire of the hall and grounds and necessary insurance cover. TT is famous for its great Awards raffles with plenty of quality prizes, so set aside a few dollars to buy a few tickets. Raffle is drawn at the conclusion of the Sunday night presentations. Whilst on the subject of our raffles we all need to be on the lookout for suitable prizes. So any one that thinks they can get together some donations or wants to gift us something such as custom arrows, custom knives etc please start giving us some thought now and let a Director know your intentions. By the way a special thanks to the boys from Albury and Shellharbour who ensured we had some wonderful prizes which greatly complimented the outstanding set of hand crafted hunting arrows generously given to us by long time member Manuel Agius, for last years Awards raffle.
Another long time tradition at the Awards has been for members to trade, barter and sell goods such as bows, arrows, knives, camo, photo's etc to fellow members. This activity will again be encouraged.
An indication of those intending to attend would be handy and I would appreciate a call in coming weeks re your intentions.
HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!
Email info@trophytakers.org to let us now your intentions, as it would be greatly appreciated.
Getting Keen, Who else is going to make it.
Will be great to catch up with a few members, and meet a few new ones.

Dave W and we have decided to change the awards presentation from the Sunday night (30th Sept) to the Saturday night (29th Sept).
There are several reasons for this:
1) It gives the out of state guys a day after the awards to travel home - some of the Vic guys last year had to miss the awards on the Sunday night to travel home
2) The Rugby league final is on the Sunday night - we will have a TV there so people can sit back and watch it.
The Annual general meeting will remain on the Sunday afternoon.
Sorry for any inconvenience.....
