We have a Social Sub-Committee that arrange a variety of events, they often work with the Fund Raising Sub-Committee to co-ordinate particular events.
Some events are run at a planned loss to ensure that other aims are achieved including volunteer
reward/recognition, team building etc.
Until the recent website update (Oct 2021) all social events have been cancelled until the COVID crisis arrangements change to a level where we can justify any increased risks against the potential benefits.
Sunday 31st October will see our first organised social when we will be holding a cupcake refreshments activity afternoon to celebrate Phoebe’s Paralympic Gold Medal winning performance in Tokyo and will use the halloween theme at the heart of a number of activities. It will also explore the revised field course complete with 8 new bridges and relaid steps and pathways.

A few recent highlights of our social events are:
Our Annual Awards Night which takes place each November currently at the Walls Club. (Limited to 200 maximum) and is a celebration of club and individual achievements. A great evening including hot food, entertainment and a professional award process for just £6 per head!
Each of the last 10 years we have attended at least 1 formal External Formal Awards Dinner where a group of club representatives is part funded to attend on behalf of the club.
Over recent years we have also arranged for groups of members to travel to various competitions. In 2019 it was Nimes. In 2020 it is Las Vegas for the World Archery Festival!
In summary, we always have lots going on. You can pick what you want to attend. If you have an idea for an event, let the social subcommittee know. All part of the day to day life of the our club!
