This evening has brought some extremely sad news. Our dear friend and fellow archer Ian Robinson has passed away after a long illness.
Our thoughts are with his partner Gill and his family at this difficult time.
Ian was a very kind and generous man who would always help his fellow archers on the line often with a joke and a smile on his face. Ian was also on the clubs committee as our treasurer and performed an outstanding job, we all appreciate the time and commitment that Ian put in to the club to make it a success. Being also a keen photographer there are many of Ian's photographs on our site.
I know that I can confidently speak on behalf of every one in saying that Ian will be greatly missed.

I thought I'd put all the known shooting dates and comp dates on a google calendar.

I have been informed by Chris Key that there is a clash with the football team on the 5th of May (Wens). He has tried to see if the football team can reorganise but no such luck.
It has been agreed then for the archers to use the lower part of the field (other side of the railngs).
The shooting line will be by the treeline, shooting away from the club house.
Do not set up on the top field.
Thanks.
