WAC 75th Anniversary Celebrations

Event Flyer
​On the 10th July 1941 in the home of  Don Johnson, Loch Avenue, Ballarat, the Wendouoree Archery Club was formed.

On Sunday 10 July 2016 the club celebrated its 75th Anniversary at its club grounds, Prince of Wales Park, Lake Gardens.

Very strong winds snapped the guy ropes and caused three legs to bend and collapse the marquee and over eight crossbars also snapped.
