A Day with the Devils will run for the second time in 2020 and the club hopes it will become an annual event.
"With the drought conditions, we want everyone to come and enjoy and not have to think about anything else," volunteer committee member Allison Korn said.

Locals can expect a host of performers between 1pm and 11pm, and headline act the Choirboys will take the stage at 8pm.
Other artists playing include Hattie Gate, Nate Scholes, Redneck Gentlemen and West and Republic.
Local companies New England Brewing Company and Marilba Estate Wines will be set up at the event and boutique market stalls from local businesses will also be there for punters to peruse.
Tickets have been kept to a bare minimum cost to make the event accessible to more people, Ms Korn said.

Rather than raise money, the day will raise awareness for a problem close to home.
"We're raising awareness about mental health ... because it's a huge issue in Gunnedah," Ms Korn said.
"The players come in off the farm ... and come to training and have a chat, and we're trying to replicate that on a bigger scale.
"The volunteers have put about everything into it to make sure it happens," she said.
The event drew a crowd of 1000 people last year and Ms Korn said they hope to get even more this year.
