A really good turnout again Trevor had even brought in iced buns he had made especially. Wowzer ! Thanks to Margaret for being our Field Captain, nice to see our trainee coaches in action. We shot the Worcester Round again, but nearly everyone had lost their edge and scored a little less than last week. Last week Eric shot one all 5s end, the only one from recurves and Nigel managed to shoot 54321 three times ! We think this is a new club record. No-one beat those this Sunday. Wojtek and Daniel have both earned their Indoor F grade, but both have 2 E grade scores, so I’m holding out for their third grade Es for their first badges ! So mean ! But I’m told that is the correct way. Next Sunday is a relaxed Portsmouth and Sunday 15th is the Postal Portsmouth I will not be there, but the special score sheets are in the box. This part of the website has been running for a year now, so Happy Birthday Records Section !

Twenty Three archers shooting today, most of us shooting a Worcester Round. A nice challenge, quite quick to shoot too. We bought special 5 face targets for our Compound archers. Lots of success today: Mike Thorley broke his Worcester recurve record from last year. Mike Hausler and Ronnie Neilson set new Club Records for the new Worcester Five Face. Bart (Bartolemiej), has achieved his Indoor G badge. Voytek (Wojtek) is raising his game so fast I’m holding onto his E badge until he shoots his third E score, very soon I think ! Ian Chapman has achieved his Indoor D badge. Next Sunday we shall shoot the Worcester again, so there’s a chance to contest those records and to get those next scores in. Well Done, one and all ! It was a very pleasant morning.

Two weeks of archery records to catch up with ! So, 3 hours later ! ) :- Twenty Archers on the line this morning, excellent ! We shot the Postal Portsmouth, our team of the top 3 archers scored: Mike Thorley 526, Martin Ley 518, Eric Godber 509, well done chaps ! Some achievements in Classifications: Bartolemiej = H, but already has 2 Gs, so we’ll hold on for that ! Wojtek = G, but already has an E, so we’ll wait for a couple more ! Jason and Joshua achieve their Fs and Douglas also reaches F , but Barebow, extra credit ! Well done everyone, for the next 2 Sundays we will shoot the Worcester Round, a nice change and a chance to create records perhaps !

The Jolly Archers held a Portsmouth Tournament at St Ives, Harry Tapp and myself both had a go. Harry was back on form and shot a personal best and new club record of 462, earning himself an Ely Archers’ Indoor Classification E badge in the process ! Well done Harry. Meanwhile I failed to be last, scoring better than 8 other people, who have probably all shot themselves by now to avoid the shame ! It was as well organised and hospitable as ever. Meanwhile, back at King’s Ely:-

A relaxed Portsmouth today and 15 archers on the line. Trevor was very chuffed, having smashed his personal best. Four new members submitted their first scoresheets, Daniel, Wojtek, Lukasz and Batolemeij, you are also off on the personal best chase now chaps ! Harry shot a new personal best and thus a new Club Record for Gentleman U12 Portsmouth, well done Harry. Next Friday is normal and next Sunday a normal, relaxed Portsmouth again.
