Welcome to Beemasters, Kevin. We have a lot of members from NSW. Someone should answer up as soon as they see your request. Bee sure to update your location in the profile tab. Knowing where you are located makes a big difference in properly answering your questions. We are going into spring and you are into fall.

Kevin, welcome to the forum.  Both Yantabulla & 100TD have provided you with a list of clubs, might I suggest that you seriously think about joining one (if you haven't already done so) as they are a source of a lot of local information which is very important when first starting out.
