Wicketkeeper Peter Nevill said it was all good fun and hoped to meet more Ballarat fans as the weekend's Wipe Off 5 Ballarat Bush Bash camp panned out.
"We've got our actual practice games on Sunday at Eastern Oval and hopefully we'll get a good crowd along," Nevill said.
"Hopefully they can get on board the Renegades."
