 2012 Lithgow Ironfest,(Apocolypse) April 21st and 22nd.

Mountain Archers ran 2 days worth of Come 'N Try Archery Classes recently at the Lithgow Ironfest.  Lithgow really came alive during this weekend with archery, horseback archery, jousting, Birds of Prey demonstration, Viking training and battle exhibitions, The Battle of Lithgow - military reanactment, training for young knights, battling for old knights, bands, buskers, Lithgow Pipe Band, Ballroom Dancing, Belly Dancing, Choirs, Art and Craft, Public Executions and Blacksmithing Workshops.

It really is a great alternative to modern day amusement parks and commercial expos.

Mountain Archers club members helped instruct 589 festival goers in basic archery instruction. The feedback we recieved was really good. A big thankyou to all club members involved!
