Mustang Owners Club Qld
The Mustang Owner’s Club made MPB their week-end drive destination on a beautiful Sunday morning in May. We had 11 immaculate Mustangs of varying vintage in the car park. One junior member needed a brown paper bag to breathe into after getting the chance to drive one of the cars from the outer to the inner car park. Get in touch if you want to know more about an event for your organisation, family, friends or social group.
2019 Para & VI Championships
In January, Mount Petrie Bowmen proudly hosted the 2019 Para & VI National Championships. This was a first for the Club. 22 competitors were shooting for selection as Australian representatives at international events, or just to achieve a personal best, enjoy the experience, and catch up with friends.
We are excited to announce that Mount Petrie Bowmen will host this tournament again in March 2020. Hopefully the weather will be kinder to us than this year.
Chinese Taipei Visit
We were lucky enough to have a group of wonderful and talented archers from Chinese Taipei come and visit us in September at Mount Petrie Bowman as part of a Matchplay invitation. Seen here are Steve Jacobs, Jo Jo, James Gaze, Astin Darcy, Laura Paeglis, Alec Potts, Ryan Tyack, Taylor Worth, Chloe Grabs, Alice Ingley, Nic Kyriazis, Belinda Maxworthy, David Barnes (archer) and Ya Ping Shih at Mount Petrie Bowmen.
All in all it was a great day of shooting with some really serious competition… not saying who won.
