Boggo Road Gaol Field Day – update

Saturday 27th October

The booking time is 1:30pm start.

For those in Toowoomba, the plan is to leave from St. Joseph’s College Carpark at 11:30am, arriving NLT 13:15pm.

St. Joseph’s is located at 54 James Street, Rangeville. We will be car-pooling as much as possible, if you need a lift to the event from Toowoomba, please be at the school to be allocated a car.

It is approximately 90minutes to the gaol.

Pay the $15.00 entry fee at the gaol, to the TPS president (Who will be wearing a big orange safety vest). Then we should gain access by 1:30pm.

We might have to wait while the previous group leaves.

We have 2 hours allocated exclusively for TPS and invited external club members.

Please reply to this post if you will be seeking a ride in the car-pool.

Considering the weather, this is outstanding!

Thank you to all those who assisted today. Your efforts have showcased what we can do as a well-oiled team. You are the backbone of our society.

Thanks too, to those who came down to volunteer last minute and to those who just came to cheer us on and buy lunch. Appreciate you all.

Very well done Team TPS!
