This sets a clear direction for the club as we seek to move forward, not only building back on the past 18 months but also building forward to face the challenges and create new opportunities for our members development.
Have-a-Go at Mount Stewart
We had a very successful Have-a-Go event at Mount Stewart on Saturday 7th August. Well done to all the members who were great ambassadors for the club and archery. We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Mount Stewart and a big thank you to all the visitors on the day who decided to have-a-go.
Fun in the Sun
On Sunday the 8th August we had a very enjoyable 'Fun in the Sun' Club shoot at Clandeboye estate for club members. The sun did make an appearance at the start, but the rain didn't dampen spirits and members were able to work on their form on an unmarked course. Very encouraging to see some of our new juniors coming out on their first field shoot.
