Dear Members and Readers,

Hope you are all safe and well and the only problem you are getting is boredom.

Being the forever optimist, I had hoped we would be open for the Boar Shoot on 31st May, but with the latest Government announcement being a lockdown to at least 7th May even if we did open up then it would be too late to organise, so we will have to cancel the shoot. (David could you please update the website to reflect this). We can now only hope that we can get going again in time for the friendlies in July and August.

A big thank you to Cherry for organising and hosting this event.

I’ve never shot clout before and for me it was a very enjoyable day. I think everyone who participated will tell you the same thing.

Hopefully we’ll have another such event soon and if you’ve never shot Clout before, come along and give medieval archery training a try.

 

It’s 2020, the start of a new year  and there are a few items that need to be highlighted for the next few weeks.

1. 31st march – last Indoor Shoot
2. 2nd April – first day of Outdoor Season – NOTE – For April, shooting will start at 5:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays and 11:00 am on Sundays to make the most of available light. In May, the times will revert to 18:00 mid-week and 13:00 Sundays.
3. There are shoots arranged for the year so far – too many to list in individual posts, so please check the events calendar for more information.
4. The G.W.A.S (Great Western Archery Society) AGM Scheduled for 15th March has been postponed indefinitely due to Coronavirus outbreak.
