Can you help at the ADAA Indoor Champs?
MGAC will be hosting the Auckland District Archery Association Indoor Champs at our indoor range in Massey on 9 and 10 August. Before entries open we’re looking for some MGAC helpers who can help organise this tournament. If you’ve never helped with a tournament before, this is a nice easy one to start on! Please talk to any member of the committee, or email secretary@mgac.org.nzif you’re interested.
