somerset 10th to the 12th sept

[tugger]

the AFO Wanderers group are heading up to somerset dam for the weekend 10th to the 12th september we are setting up camp just before somerset village opposite the shop which is below the dam wall. some of us may get there on the thursday and stay till monday with the camp site already booked there is plenty of room to throw up a tent or other as there is plenty of space on this site. we will be hunting redcalw and some may even fish but i enjoy after the days activities kicking back around a fire while chewing on some crayfish and knocking back some coldies. anyone is welcome and we'll see how much interest we have with this one and may book some ajoining sites for more room

i will see if i can get the friday off if so i will head up thursday arvo.

[tugger]

looks like malcom and davo are coming too

[Davo_Dinkum]

hopefully we get a few people coming along the more the merrier.

for any newbie's wanting to learn about catching redclaw it would be a good 1 to come along too.

a easy feed to catch and people there to give u tips ,or for the people who all ready catch redclaw and want a feed.

if u want to meet some AFO people in a very casual/social environment its a good 1 for that too.

there is a play ground beside the camping grounds and play grounds /bbq at the spit .

there is a good mix of single people ,couple's and family's ,so every 1 fits in.

last AFO Wanderers social there ,i went up me and a mate .

after the first day and night there ,i had such a good time and a nice spot .

i came home and got the family ,spent 2 more nights up there .

[straddiebrad]

i will ask a mate too come up he loves red claw and a beer or too

[Malcolm]

I hope I can

hey guys - after seeing my two active boys at SOO is it ok I bring them along for the weekend?

[tugger]

plenty of space for them to run around in at camp i'll bring up the cricket set and we'll have a slog with them, we've done that before and its a hit with the kids. there is also a track right behind the camp which takes you down onto the stanley river for them to have a flick around for bass
