Kevin has been busy with the weedkiller refreshing the distance lines on the range ready for the outdoor season. The lines that had disappeared have been reinstated. Thanks Kevin.

Last week’s string making demonstration and arrow maintenance session at Nottingham Hockey centre was well attended and very well received with lots of relevant questions from the members present. Thank you to Sharon for organising it Charlotte for showing how to make a string and Mike for the arrow maintenance. It is likely that there will be a similar session later where members can make their own strings with expert help on hand. Let Sharon know if you are interested.

Congratulations to young Anna, who got her six gold end badge last weekend as a result of some great shooting. Even more impressive as she has only beeen shooting for about six months. 

The entry form for our double WRS 720 and associated rounds on 21st May 2017 is now available on the Tournaments page. We look forward to seeing you.

A big thank you to Sharon for organising yesterday’s Christmas pudding shoot. Twenty six archers plus supporters braved the cool conditions and some personal best scores were achieved. Sarah did a great job keeping us under control on her first occasion as field captain. Christmas puddings were duly awarded.

As is usual on these occasions there was also a fuddle table. Thanks to everyone who brought food, there was a great choice including some delicious home baking.

In keeping with the spirit of the shoot Christmas hats and jumpers were in abundance!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Yesterday (17 December) was the final indoors session of the year, we will restart on 14 January 2017 same time, same place (Small Hall of Rushcliffe Leisure Centre off Boundary Road in West Bradford, 4pm set up for 4:30pm prompt start, shooting through to 6:30pm).

A big thank you to Sharon for organising the club meal at Pieminister in Nottingham last Friday. Great turnout, good food and great company. 

Don’t forget there’s the “pairs” shoot and firework themed fuddle on November 6th.

We had a great day running the Have a Go at the National Series final on Saturday at Wollaton Hall. Nearly 300 people came to see us and all had a good time. Our new flags are impressive and attracted many people up to the Hall. 

Visitors included Rio Paralympic medal winner Jodie Grinham and Rio Olympian Patrick Huston who were encouraged to have a head to head match, which Jodie won. 

Don’t forget that the Robin Hood Marathon is on Sunday. There will be road closures around the Wollaton area between about 9.30 and 11.40.

And on 2nd October there’s a group of horses going from Wollaton Park to Market Square and back again, so delays will be likely.

The Nottingham Hockey Club clubhouse will be open for most of the day on during the third and final leg of the Nottinghamshire League shoot on Sunday 14th August. Filled cobs and ciabatta will be available in the bar. 
The presentation of results from all three legs will take place in the bar as soon as possible after the completion of shooting.
