A fine evening for some relaxed archery. Eric was awarded his 3rd Class Archer badge, soon to be 2nd Class I reckon. Mike Thorley was awarded his First Class Archer badge to appreciative applause. Harry Tapp handed in a score sheet which takes him to U12 2nd Class Archer, well done Harry ! Tim learned a bit about nocks and we two with wooden arrows tried to hit targets with them, with limited success !! Fingers crossed for more fine evenings and Sunday afternoons.
A lovely day to shoot, about a dozen of us shooting. Young Joshua Chapman (U16) submitted his first scored round and created a new record for Short Junior Warwick U16, well done Joshua. The master plan was to shoot Yorks and Bristols, but you really need a long day for that, so Eric and I shot an American whilst Roy shot a WA70. We all enjoyed ourselves, except Sophies day was spoilt by a wasp sting ! Bad luck Sophie.
Plenty of archery going on ! Martin Ley was awarded his Third Class Archer badge, congratulations Martin. Mike Thorley shot his third First Class recurve score this outdoor season so is now a First Class Archer and will get his badge, congratulations Mike, first class is hard to achieve.
Lots of archery on a beautiful evening. Maggie was awarded her WA70 record certificate and Mike Williamson was awarded his 2nd Class Recurve badge, congratulations to both of you. Maggie and David ran their last beginners’ course night of the season, our thanks to them for their efforts to bring more archers into the world, we may see more club members as a result. Martin Ley shot another third class Warwick and has now achieved his Third Class Archer status, congratulations Martin. See you on Friday
Another hot and Sunny day ! Two of us shot at the Jolly Archers’ Open Western, Mike Williamson shot well and has now achieved a Second Class Archer Classification for Recurve, Congratulations Mike ! Meanwhile FITA 70’s, now called WA 70’s, were shot on the Amherst Field and Maggie Johnson, our Club Chairman, created a new record for Ladies Barebow WA 70. Martin Ley moved up to a full Warwick and at this rate will soon be a Third Class Archer, which is much better than it sounds ! Everyone else enjoyed themselves, including myself ! I have added WA 70 ( was FITA 70) scoresheets to the website and printed some for the box. See some of you on Wednesday
