Halloween Ping Tatty Boggle at Sywell, 2013

DSC_0012                   On Saturday evening of the 26th October we held our annual Halloween Ping Tatty Boggle at our Sywell base. This year we started a little earlier to get things set up and organized properly in readiness to start as it became dark.
 
Those of you who attended could see the amount of decorative work involved in making the old meeting hut “look the part”. There was also an awful lot of behind the scenes work involved in the preparation for the food where bread soup and sausages were supplied by the club for all the archers and family members who attended to support the event. Tea, Coffee, Chocolate and Pop were also available at our usual tuck shop which is run by Mick Lovell, all of which leads me to say a big thank you to all the members who gave up there shooting time during Saturday morning to ensure everything was in place for the evening event and of course we should not forget those who stayed late to make sure everything was taken down and put away in the containers.
Dave Quemby was are resident master of ceremonies for the evening shoot and of course our Chair lady Pam was also involved with the awards after the event so a big thank you to Dave and Pam.
 
With the approaching storm forecast we were lucky with the weather as it stayed dry whilst shooting and temperatures were not as cold as previous Halloween events. The winners of the event are shown on our picture gallery on the members webpage………..many thanks to our members who made this such a memorable occasion.

Our Last Outdoor Fun Shoot of 2013

On Saturday 5th October our archers gathered at Sywell for our last outdoor event of this outdoor season. And what an event it was.Our own Dave Quemby had organised an event called “Pope Young” which for those who have never heard of it before is a speed competition where you have to shoot 6 arrows within 30 seconds at 6 different targets. This event was new to NAC archers but you can bet it will be on our agenda sometime during the next Outdoor Season as it was so much fun with a lot of laughter. Even the weather for this time of year was good for us,……. as the day went on the day got better and sunnier.

After the Pope Young event we finished of the day with our usual outdoor “picnic” where we all picked at nibbles on the tables and finally this outdoor seasons presentations were awarded along with classification badges. 

I have put together an album of pictures of the Pope Young and Picnic where the usual rules apply…………..we will send out a link when they are ready so that you can view them within the “members” category of our website under “password” protection before moving them into the main gallery section where they will be open to public viewing. During the interim period please give me details of any picture / s which require removal of members who do not want their picture/s publicized.

Many thanks to Dave and his helpers for the organizing of this event and to all who helped in any way on the day.

This is a message for NAC members; As Simon is unable to send out a link to this photo gallery I am just posting this simple post to let you know how you can view the pictures.

If you go into the website, click on MEMBERS and select the gallery as written on the title. A password box will appear where you put in our usual regular password.

This is to protect members that do not wish their image to be put on the (public)  website. If anyone would rather have their image deleted then just contact me on ianpateman@talktalk.net same applies if you need the password (or ask any committee member) or a copy of the original picture. Several pictures have captured the arrow in flight but some do take a little looking to find it.

As soon as Simon is able to send out an e-mail with a link I shall leave the gallery for 14 days or so before transffering the gallery into “Public” viewing under Galleries..

 

Regards
