NAC Club Competition abandoned due to high winds
Our club competition on Saturday 16th June started off in well and truly windy conditions, but at least the rain was holding off. With over 30 archers turning up the event looked like being a long awaited success after a previous wash out in April. Upon completing the first 8 ends and less than brilliant scoring, we all prepared for the shorter distances. The winds then really picked up and our targets succumbed to the British weather, collapsing backwards and uprooting our ground pegs. Unfortunately it was felt that conditions were no longer safe for either arrows or archers and the event was abandoned at that point. Maybe at some stage this year the weather will be kind to NAC. We did however all enjoy the hot dogs and tea organized for us by Pam and the crew.
252 New Rules and Badges
The committee has considered the rules for the 252 scheme and agreed that it will only be necessary to score 252 on two occasions for each distance from now on, to qualify for a badge. In addition the 15 yard badge will no longer be included in the scheme and ribbons will not be used. We have purchased a sample of the badges from Reading Archers which we will be using. The club offer a very quick turn around on orders with no minimum quantities – just a small postage charge. Some of the colours on the badges are different from those chosen for our original scheme which will be amended in due course. They can be seen online at the Reading Archers web site.Go to this page to read about the 252 scheme and how to record your scores and get your badge.
At Last – Shooting again outside at Sywell
Bez and Steve have been good enough to look at Sywell today and say the conditions have improved further – so yep we’re at Sywell tomorrow Saturday 19th May 12 noon onward.
Archery at Carlsberg this Tuesday, but back to Sywell on Saturday
We have visited Sywell today 14th May and are pleased to see vast improvements in the conditions. However ground around the container is still very hazardous and in parts under water. In the interests of safety it has therefore been decided – after due consultation – that Tuesdays archery will be at Carlsberg again.
Unless we have torrential rain this week – on Saturday we will be at Sywell.
Shooting Tuesday 8th May – at Carlsberg
Although there has been a slight improvement to conditions at Sywell, they are still pretty bad. In view of this shooting on Tuesday will be at Carlsberg.
