21st May 2017 - Clive Freemantle Memorial Shoot

Another very successful open shoot - this time blessed with fantastic weather.

Challenging courses were matched with some excellent (and close) scores. The overall winner of the Clive Freemantle trophy (open only to compound unlimited archers) was, for the second year in a row, Owen Blackmore. Well done Owen.

Full results for the shoot will be published on the "Shoot Results and Reports" page of this web sire when available. In the meantime, enjoy (!!) the selection of photos uploaded to the "Photo Galleries" page.

Many thanks to all those who helped - the course layers, the caterers and, of course, Helen for the administration and scoring.

Around 20 members attended which considering the foul weather was encouraging.

Those who attended heard that the club continues to thrive with an increasing membership and a satisfactory bank balance.

As a result of Stuart's request to stand down as Chair of the club, Sharon Charman was proposed, seconded and elected unopposed to the position. Many thanks to Sharon for being willing to take this on.

Charity Friendly Shoot 8th January 2017

A fantastic day (although the weather could have been kinder!!).

We estimate that we had getting on to 100 archers turning out for our charity friendly shoot. It was great to see so many members, visitors and guests enjoy themselves over the 20 3-D targets set out. A total of £310 was raised for our nominated charity - Cancer Research - so many thanks to all of you who turned out and were so generous.

Thanks to all who helped arrange the day - in particular the course setters.

Charity Friendly shoot on 8th January 2017

New Year Charity Friendly Shoot.

We are planning to hold a charity friendly shoot at Fleet Ibex on Sunday 8th January 2017.

We will have 20 3-D targets out on the course with two sets of pegs – similar to the Club Championships event. The idea is that you turn up and shoot as many or as few targets as you like.

Coffee and Tea facilities will be available.

Everyone is welcome – members, guests and visitors. NFAS membership is not a requirement for this shoot as we will be covered by our own insurance. Just ensure that all guests and visitors are signed in.

Members can shoot round free of charge. Guests and visitors will be asked for a contribution - £3 for a single archer or £5 for two. All proceeds will be donated to our nominated charity – Cancer Research.

Hope to see as many members, guests and visitors as possible on the 8th.
