Club AGM: Wed’s 13th April 7pm Brookfield One for the diary! The club AGM will be held in a classroom close to the gym so you’ll find everybody easily enough on the night and of course (always sadly) there won’t be any shooting that evening. To correct an error in my earlier AGM post,…
Talisman Easter Raffle We have well over 10 Easter eggs, including some rather big ones to raffle off to raise money for the club. This is your chance to be stuffing you face with chocolate while shooting arrows. What could be better? Please could you bring in lots of cash on the Monday and Wednesday…

Last Sunday of each month… When we go outdoors the typical format is that members meeting on the field discuss what they’d like to shoot and targets get set up accordingly. That means that anyone can, pretty much, get to shoot what they want to shoot – all good. But… …we thought that this outdoor…
The Chairman’s Award If you were at the skittles evening you may have spotted that “Archie Spooner” didn’t put in the anticipated appearance. The decision was taken that The Chairman’s Award should be made at the forthcoming club AGM so that proceedings can be minuted appropriately. So, that being the case, if you’ve not made a…
