Annual Membership

Whilst there has been a few challenges along the way, we are pleased that we decided to support ArcheryGB with the introduction of the Sport80 based Annual Renewal system and at the same time automate our own membership process by using MemberMojo. A few lessons learnt which should make things easier next time round!

Inter-Counties great results!

Well done to all our members who contributed so much to the both the Junior and Senior Gloucestershire County Teams fantastic performances!  Also to Elaina who has put so much effort in throughout the year in providing support to develop the teams!

The junior squad are perpetual winners but it was the size of victory that was impressive.
This was the senior team’s first Inter-County win for 24 years!

Well done to Ella!

Great performances by Ella at the field World Championships in Canada bringing back individual and mixed pairs bronze medals!

Ella – 2 Bronze at the World Field Championships!

 Fantastic visit to Alpine F1 Centre!

 Club members spent an excellent 3 hours getting a superb tour of the factory on a F1 race day. A special thank you to Darren for organising it. 

The Club Attrition fun shoot, boule cream tea tournament, adventure golf event and the first Elizabethan shoot all added to the diversity of our social activities!

Visit to Alpine was fantastic!

Club Condition!

A lot of recent investment and man hours has gone in to preparing the Club for the winter programme and even next years outdoor season. The much needed refurbishment of the buildings and immaculate condition of the ground is looking spectacular!

Much will go unnoticed but it is so important that we keep on top of all the essential maintenance and development needs. 

Looking great!

Environment

Our annual bird box clean out (Tawny Owl to Wren) revealed 100% use for boxes installed last year. A few repairs were necessary and another batch being made. We are pleased to report that all 25 orchard trees survived the summer and are now well established. Not surprisingly our solar panel production is slightly down on the previous year as sunshine seems to be at a premium at the moment!

Flowering Meadow areas

One of our Environmental Champions is looking at organising a survey to get a better idea of the plants, birds, insects and other species that are present on site and provide a base for us to measure hopefully the positive impact our various projects are having!

We have resurrected our Vegetarian Field Course round thanks to Amelia, seen here with Ella showing some of her work!

Well done to James at the National Disability shoot at Lilleshall

James had a great time and took part in his first team head to head. He continues to make great progress. Thank you to the organisers.

James rapidly gaining experience.

Olympics/Paralympics stimulates interest!

All this year’s beginners courses are full and next years early courses are being booked up. Definitely boosted by our performances at the Olympics/Paralympics!
