Another great evening, congratulations to all our finalists, Ella, Sarah, Steph & Dan and our fantastic Junior Squad. We had 2 tables at the event hosted by John Inverdale.
A great finish to the evening with Dan & Steph winning the Coach of the Year Award despite tough opposition.
This was certainly a great celebration of sport in our county and yet again we flew the flag for archery!
We are now preparing for our own Annual Awards evening on the 16th November at the Walls Club. Lots of video presentations celebrating another successful year, entertainment and a basket meal for £6.
The event will also see the conclusion of our grand raffle, with over 35 companies having donated prizes totaling over £2K, it should be an exciting draw. The proceeds will go towards furnishing the new facility.
Our Clubhouse is arriving!
This coming Tuesday will see the arrival of our new clubhouse and training centre! This will be followed by a busy few weeks getting it fully operational.
Club Mini Field League kicks off this weekend
Saturday morning sees the first of our fortnightly winter league courses and will offer a combination of marked, unmarked, 3D, 2D Animal and FITA faces. Entry for any of the events can be done online using the club event booking system.
Halloween Face Week
We have been using the fantastic new set of Halloween Faces from Egertec. All the school activities and club practice sessions have enjoyed the challenges they offer!
Brixham Archers Visit
Thank you to Malcolm Grant for hosting a visit last week, lots to learn from a good club but particularly on the work Malcolm is doing on disability aids. As a direct result of the visit, Gloucestershire Archery Society is inviting Malcolm to run a workshop based in Bristol.
New Shirts a definite hit!
We have now added a more modern design and material type to our range of club wear. The first batch of shirts have been delivered, in addition to our new colourful logo, the shirt displays the Ontarget, Wales Archery and Egertec Logos.
Site & Equipment Security
The club house will incorporate a number of security measures including metal window shutters, motion detectors etc. We have just applied/reapplied Smartwater to all of our archery equipment, maintenance equipment and general equipment.
