The Australian Battle Group's Local Squadrons and Contacts

Groups

While the AusBG is a single organisation, we are spread all across Australia and getting together as often as we would like is difficult. As a result we have are divided into local 'squadrons' who build and battle together in between the national meetings.

Take a look below for a group in your area and give them a ring or drop them an email. Should you not find someone close, then you are welcome to come on board and start one in your local area.
