THE CLUB

Covid gave us a number of problems as it did to many clubs. Happily, we have survived but, regrettably lost a few members. However, these losses have been more than replaced owing to the hard work of the coaching team, Dan, Roxanne, Paul and Jo who have given so much of their time to run beginners’ courses, with almost 100% retention rate. A number of these new members are now buying their own equipment and fully committing to the club and the sport. There will be three or four courses this year and we already have interest for the February course from people who attended our Christmas Fair at the end of November.

Attendees at these new courses will benefit from a big investment made by the Club in that we have replaced all the beginners’ equipment with brand new kit, including bows with metal handles, good sights, new arrows, tabs, armguards – the whole nine yards! We want to ensure that attendees of our courses get the best experience with good equipment.

The Jack Oliver Memorial shoot was to have been held on 8th August, 2021. However, because of the uncertainty surrounding the removal of Covid restrictions and not knowing how soon AGB will remove the draconian shooting rules, the shoot has been cancelled. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed next year.

As long as we are not in lockdown, we hope to put on the Brass Monkey shoot next year. this will be on SUNDAY, 20TH FEBRUARY, 2022, so make a note in your diaries. Entry forms will follow in due course.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year. We regret that there will be no Brass Monkey Shoot this year. This is the first time in 40+ years that there has been no shoot. The weather has never defeated us but Covid has!

Hopefully, we shall be hosting the Lincs. County Tournament on 13th June 2021, virus permitting.

Also, regulations permitting, we shall be putting on the Jack Oliver Memorial Shoot on Sunday 8th August, 2021, More details will follow once we know what we can do.

This shoot was to have been held on 16th August, 2020.

Regrettably, owing to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and the proposed requirements from AGB concerning the running of tournaments, this event has been CANCELLED.

If the situation returns to our known ‘normal’ next year we will, hopefully, put on the tournament.

In the meantime, we hope, if things return to ‘normal’, we will put on the annual BRASS MONKEY shoot on Sunday. 21st February, 2021. Details later in the year.

Happy shooting
