Waterbeach Open Day 2012

Ely Archers have once again been invited to attend the Open Day which is being held on Saturday 30 June 2012 between 10am and 5pm at Waterbeach airfield to run an archery Have A Go. This event was very successful the last time we attended, with many people trying out archery for the first time. The event is open not just to cadets, families and friends, but also to the general public. The airfield  is now a training base used by the Royal Engineers and Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force. Their Open Day is an opportunity for everyone to see tanks and other equipment, and to have a go at various outdoor activities, as well as archery.  It is hoped to make the event bigger and better than ever in 2012.

Field Shoot at the Archery Company

Six club members went to the Archery Company in Potton, Beds, on Saturday 15 October to shoot a round at their field targets, as we did last year. The course has been updated and made a lot harder, as was shown by the fact that ten arrows were lost in total on the day!! The weather was brilliant, and it was a very enjoyable day out.  Highest score of the day went to Sean Fox with 382 points, followed by Phil Lenney on 358 and Dave Stagg on 350.  Photos of the day are available on the Photos Page or click here. We hope to organise more of these events in the future, so look out for these!
 

Club End of Season shoot

The club's End of Season shoot was held on the last official Sunday of the outdoor season, 25 September 2011 and was a Western round (4 doz @ 60yds, & 4 doz @ 50yds).  The shoot was a handicapped one, so everyone had a fair chance of winning the club End of Season Trophy, and the results were announced at the club AGM on 30 October 2011. Photos of the day can be found on the Photos page or by clicking here.
