On Sunday 18th December the Kettering Archers held their annual “Flight Shoot ” at Kettering on what could only be described as a bitterly cold day. Several members of the NAC attended to take part and have a little fun, namely, Sarah S, Pam,Bez,Susan,Dan,Dave Q,Paul and Steve. The shoot had several different categories ie, Flatbow/Longbow, Recurve etc. There was also different categories depending on the weight of bows. Thinking they were only taking part for a bit of fun and not actually competing against each other, they were surprised to have ended the day with all but one of them being presented with medals. So congratulations must go to all who took part on the day for making themselves available to once again represent the NAC.Well done.
Category: Events
although club shoots do fit this category its mainly for fete’s, parties and social events.
NAC Christmas get together at Sixfields.
Many members of the NAC met for their Christmas get together at Sixfields Northampton where they spent the evening bowling and eating pizzas. As can be seen in the attached photos, Dave Stephens was in immaculate form coaching all who attended on how to get consistent 10’s. Another shot shows a few happy faces waiting to be fed in Pizza Hut. Ian once again captured the event and it seems his photographic skills were better than his bowling skills. Paul Hyde made several exquisite attempts of showing members how to make a strike without using a ball and I think the fastest bowl was demonstrated by David Harris at just under the speed of sound!
I think a good time was had by all.
