Posted 20th February 2008. It was the committee meeting time on Monday 18th and, as promised, here are the topics. The results of the monthly winter leagues were announced and have been entered onto the 'leagues' calendar. Highlights were Chris Todd as highest JB in November for Frostbite and Portsmouth with Andrea the same and Vicky highest Junior Girl for the November Portsmouth. Then next, as you all know, Wallsend is due to close at the end of March but the club were shown an alternative venue at 'Burnside'. A modest 24 yards long but sufficient for the beginners courses we hold plus a little extra space for any coaching to be done. On the subject of beginners! We have the final indoor course of the season starting tonight (Wednesday) and this is completed just in time for the closure of the centre. We have ten enthusiastic beginners but another 25 waiting for the opportunity to start! This will give us some problem as so many are keen to try archery and we are limited by the venues and cost.
And more on the matter! To arrive at a solution for the number of people wishing to try archery, a club coaches meeting is to be arranged, but I have no date for this yet! The 'new' venue will cost a little more year on year, however the council have provided us with an alternative location for the equipment container which effectively is an asset.
Financially we are OK! Edna has now purchased two beautiful trophies in memory of George. It was agreed that these should be presented on accumulated 'handicap' scores so every club member has the chance of winning. Possibly one for the winter and one for the summer? The engraving details to be decided later. March 9th will be the date of the County Indoor which we are hosting so any offer of help would be appreciated to set up on the Saturday prior to the tournament. It doesn't take long so one hour would be more than needed. Almost to end, the date for the club clout has been changed from 13th July to 6th July, one week early. The next club meeting will be held on Monday March 31st. Posted 14th February 2008. Just a quick note to say Connor and Vicky made big strides with PB's on Tuesday. Both bettered by about 20 points. We have a committee meeting next Monday and I'll report back what happened. You should have all the latest Clout records and kath sent some other record updates which I shall try to include before the week-end. Posted 7th February 2008. The club held a committee meeting but I missed it so I cannot say what happened except 'Do you all realise that the club has now achieved club-mark status'? What mark? Yep, I understand, however, for the benefit of the juniors in the club it just proves that we make the effort to ensure that it's a safe and well managed environment for them to be associated with. It doesn't make us all super-men (or women), or produce epic scores, but then you're not likely to be 'hushed' either. Now over to kath - Kath sent the list of January PB's earlier this week so they're all listed below. Kath does say that these are the ones we know about! That's true as I try to post PB's every week but that's difficult as I may miss an evening and then the whole thing falls down. If you have produced a PB please make sure we all know as every point gained is well deserved and we all take delight in a PB of 150 as much as a PB of 599! But before that let's congratulate Keith Humpish who posted a PD which I missed! - Sorry Keith! Here's a list of PBs for January Portsmouths (so far) in date order: Connor Rathbone 408, What a lot!!!!! - and they are just the ones who marked their sheets PB, I don't check the ones who don't mark theirs, perhaps I should start and keep everyone's PBs???? |
