Current news for the month.

July 29th 2010 - Sharon has returned from a week-end in Scotland (Glasgow) with the news that she got her first FITA Star AND Thistle award last week-end with a 1,000+ plus score with recurve. Well done!

July 26th 2010 - Richard asked if I can pose this question to you all? Just a quick note to ask if you could pop something on the club website about the current debate on club colors in a bid to get more people involved. Several committee members have said if we can put a well thought out and researched proposal on the table then it will be considered, and the idea is that we introduce a 'club' colour scheme (as other clubs have done) other than the traditional green and white. It isn't proposed to do away with green and white but allow an alternative choice. Black trousers and Orange top are the suggested option but by all means pass your views onto Richard and see what transpires?

July 15th 2010 - After Tuesday evening turned into a wash-out and we all left the field is a little bit of a rush, I didn't have time to congratulate those who went to the 'Clout' in Cumbria last week-end (and got wet) Kath was second, Connor got a PB on top of the previous day's PB, Margaret (who's that baby) Fittes almost got the 'blue' tassel but did get the 'black' and I didn't hear how everyone else got on, so forgive me if I miss you out?
Today I'm quickly putting a link to the club facebook page kindly created by Richard (Marsden). Now I'm a 'face-book' ludite so if, like me, you haven't got an account then, like me, you can only read what's going on and cannot reply. Also I found that Internet explorer SOMETIMES didn't appear to connect properly but 'Firefox' did. Haven't worked out why yet! Anyway, best of luck and I'll make the link snazzier later.

For those going to the County Champs this week-end, good luck! I hope the weather stays fine, or gets fine! A new venue this year so I believe? Saturday will be the FITA bit and Sunday the GNAS (or must I write ArcheryGB?) See you all around later?

face

July 8th 2010 - Club Records until 30th June have been loaded thanks to Kath who sent them on to me yesterday.
Now this little reminder does not suggest that any club member, living or past, HAS a sagging, wrinkled or worn out face, nor should it be hidden as indicated in this notice, but that any member who notices that their target face is of a similar disfigurement, may, in the interests of good humour..... change it! We have plenty. You will not reduce the club to bankruptcy, and it's nice to shoot at! I, for my part, will try to ensure you have a plentiful supply, already rolled in single units and, ultimately, to be found in a nice bright pink bin! (but not yet as it's still at home)

July 4th 2010 - Another windy Sunday and I was browsing around the web sites and noticed that Sam Hood won the trophy for 'FIRST' barebow at the Junior Nationals at Lilleshall yesterday (Saturday). I'm sure Eileen will be thrilled as I must admit I am also! So next time you see Sam give him a pat-on-the-back for his achievement, but not too hard as that will possibly be mis-interpreted as abuse! I have no idea how today will go so we'll just have to wait and see?
I should have archived June's news but I'm busy with the county web site today so this little job will wait a day or so. See you at the club on Tuesday and I hope it's not wet and windy?
