The calendar lists an event nearly every weekend, but club
members can also enjoy informal shooting if that's what they
prefer. We generally hold a Barbecue in the Summer and a Club
dinner in the Winter. We occasionally go to lectures, seminars
and coaching courses. We sometimes put on "Have a Go" sessions
at fairs and fetes or for school Summer Camps, and we run Tournaments
to raise money (everyone is expected to help!).
We shoot three or four League Matches during the summer, which
are arranged in such a way that nearly everyone can participate,
the team being made up of the four highest scores. There are
parallel Leagues for Juniors and Longbow archers. We encourage
our members to enter Tournaments, Indoor, Outdoor and Field
events.
There is a pretty wide range of events available in several
disciplines, and various members of this club do participate
in five or six completely different branches of the sport. Most
of these variations are available within a 40 mile radius, but
occasionally some of us travel further, as far as Cumberland
or even overseas - e.g. Malta, not to mention the Isle of Wight,
but, more realistically, Hampshire and Surrey.
