Changes to the Website

Posted on by

I have created a new page called Showcase.

This page has been created to highlight some of the many activities and events that the club has been involved in over the last year.

It is my hope that as people visit the site, they will get a real sense of the club’s involvement in both the local community along with national/international arena.

Where possible I have place a link to the associated event.

I have even managed to find the magazine article from United Airlines’ in flight magazine Hemispheres.

If you can think of anymore events/activities that should be listed, please email me.

Thanks, Gary

School camp at the Walled Garden

Posted on by

We are expecting the school camp to be set up on our normal shooting location at the Walled Garden on Sunday (3rd June). The other half of the Walled Garden in its current condition is unfit to shoot on. Consequently, from Sunday morning until mid July we will temporarily relocate to Highfields/Hockey Club. Roping off will be required at Highfields each session and all arrows must be found. (The metal detectors and other items will be moved).
Note that Highfields will not be available while the tennis is on (9th – 17th June) members should be able to shoot with Beeston Rylands or Bramcote during this time.

Results Double 720 – 20th May

Posted on by

In what is our 70th year we ran a very successful shoot on Sunday. The standard of shooting was very high, there was a good attendance with several competitors travelling long distances. What made the event even better was the weather which was warm and sunny with hardly any breeze at all. Thank you to Wilford club members who made the event such a success. We are gratfeul for the support of Bramcote Archery Club, for the loan of extra foam bosses.

The ianseo results listing is here

We look forward to seeing you again next year.

The day draws close, the target list is here. Can you please check your entry and ensure that it is correct, and that we have the correct AGB number.

 

This link, http://www.nottinghamhockeycentre.com/find, will take you to the Nottingham Hockey Club site, which gives the full address of the shooting field and access to google maps so you can plan your journey.

Thanks again to you and all of the Wilford Bowmen who supported us and helped to raise money for Nottingham Children’s Hospital. You were an real asset to our event, and we were so proud to have you there.
