CLEVE TOURNAMENTS -
27th April/15th June/19th & 20th July
These tournaments are
important to the club. Not only providing tournaments
locally but also a good source of much needed
income..
Each of our three tournaments are organised
by one person (Denise the two senior tournaments
and Gareth the junior) but cannot take place
without the full commitment of the membership.
- There's the field to measure
& mark out.
- Transportation of equipment
- 2 vans required, we have the use of one
already (thanks bill), another still needed.
- Loading of equipment at
the club, day before the tournament.
- Unloading and setting
up the field (many hands make light work)
- Catering for the day -
(including feeding the judges), too many cooks..not
a problem!
- Moving the targets throughout
the day.
- Unloading of equipment
back at the field.
Last years july tournament
was an example of how well the whole club pulled
together to make a nearly cancelled tournament
a great success.
Volunteers are needed by the bucketful - the
organisers would like to hear from you partcularly
if you can offer the use of a transit type vehicle
or if you know of anybody who can, or if you
can assist with the catering.
CONTACT DENISE BUNCE & GARETH VAUGHAN -
TOURNAMENT ORGANISERS - contact details can
be found further in newsletter.
Please do not leave the offer of catering assistance
until the day, denise would like to know beforehand
- please ring or email.

courses.
Longbow League….not
long to go now…
Nearly time to dust off
you sticks of bamboo, yew, lemonwood, check you've
got enough arrows left over from last season (remember
all those iffy shots that hit the framework instead
of the target!) And start practicing for the longbow
league.
Once a month, (2nd Sunday in the month starting
April 2008) those who are able to and want to
and, weather permitting, to meet at 1pm(ish) to
shoot a Western round. Say eight archers shoot,
the highest score will receive 8 points, 2nd highest
7 points and so on down to 8th place 1 point.
There will be five matches April to August.
At the proper end of season longbow shoot (not
part of the league) a trophy (Chris has one but
we will need another for the ladies) will be awarded
to the league winners.
If an archer cannot attend one of the Sundays
then it will be acceptable to shoot any other
time in the month and the score sheet to be handed
to league organiser (Chris) asap. Score sheets
will be available in the container next to the
handicap sheets.
Open to all - mark it on your calendars. If you
haven't got a longbow….ha ha ha ha ha ha!
HANDICAP CARDS
To make things a little
bit easier for archers to submit scores to the
records officers i have attached a sheet of handicap
cards.
Simple to use - just fill in the bits you know
(round, date, venue, score etc) and once a month
email it to the records officer (chris for senior,
steve for juniors) they will fill in the handicap
& classification updates and send it back
to you. Scores shot at the club also count. If
you still fancy the old personal touch (seniors)
just leave it in the folder in the container.

Outdoor Shooting
- Seniors allowed up the
field from 1st March -
Juniors first Saturday will be 22nd March, this
is due to Easter Bunny shoot on Monday 24th March.
To enable the juniors to commence shooting without
having to find all the markers first (like they
do most years, losing most of the session doing
this), it has been decided that on Sunday 16th
March volunteers are required to turn up at the
field (Up Yonder) armed with trowels, spades and
pointy sticky things (to find the bricks!). There
was talk of refreshments being available……..
Please continue to
make sure that, if you are the last to leave
the field you check that both containers are
closed and padlocked, the toilet door is closed
and padlocked and the car park gate is closed
and COMBINATION padlocked ONLY!
No complaints since the last newsletter!
Please continue taking your
litter home with you. That includes cigarette
ends please.
Club Trousers -
are being registered as black and only to be worn
with club top (purple for seniors, red for juniors).
Likewise, if you are wearing the club top you
must wear black trousers only. Club tops are only
available by ordering through the club as they
must have the club name & logo on them, plain
purple & plain red are not club colours(see
Denise Bunce).
Traditional white & green can still be worn
if not wearing club colours.
Cartridges and Mobile Phones
We make some good money
from recycling empty ink cartridges and old mobile
phones - collection bin in the main container.
If you can please see if you can have the used
cartridges from your workplace etc..
Tesco sports for schools
vouchers
If you shop at Tesco please
collect the sports for school vouchers and give
to sue hicks or any member of junior committee,
they are handy for getting bits & pieces of
useful equipment.
We have just received two new tape measures so
far with the vouchers.
Photography Register
- Following the disappearance of the first register
a second register was put in the container recently
and has now gone missing also. As part of the
Child Protection and Vulnerable Adults Policy
we are required to have a register on site. If
you have it or have any information as to its
whereabouts, please speak to a committee member.
CUSTOM MADE BOWSTRINGS
If you are looking for a high performance custom
bowstring, Greg Hill (formerly of Wales Archery)
has set up a business making strings and cables.
To find out more details contact Greg on: 07791
532343.
ENGRAVING SERVICE
The winter months are
an ideal time to get your trophies engraved -
Rachel charges a fraction of the prices charged
on the high street and can be contacted on 01454
773316.
Outside Toilets
Please continue to make
sure that, if you are the last to leave the field
you check that both containers are closed and
padlocked, the toilet door is closed and padlocked
and the car park gate is closed and padlocked.
No complaints since the last newsletter!
Rubbish - It has been noted on several occasions
that plastic bottles have been left on the field,
obviously not intentional but please take your
rubbish home with you. |
CLUB CLOTHING
