All seven a side teams are guaranteed three games of round robin on the Saturday, with a minimum of two grade clashes on the Sunday for play-offs.
As well as footy, everyone is encouraged to make a fun-filled weekend out of it, and get amongst the entertainment offered at both hotels and the sporting club where a dress up theme - Halloween - is on the table.
The Veterans Touch Football Carnival will be held on Saturday November, 3 to 4, at Bowen Oval, Coolah.
