Good evening everyone

I have organised an open coaching session for club archers on Saturday 28^th April at Riverside Archery Club, Thorp Academy, Ryton NE40 3AH. Would you be kind enough to pass this information to those in your club that might be interested. Doors will be open at 9:00 for range and kit setup so we can start at 10:00, we aim to finish by 4:00pm. Places will be limited so please advise your archers to book in by contacting Ian Norwood at DNAACoaching@gmail.com giving a brief outline of their experience and outcome for the session.

Castles (logical) League

This, individual competition, will begin again in  October. Members should start handing in scoresheets,(highest monthly 36 arrow scores will be forwarded to the league).

Postal League

This competition will start in November, this team event will be shot, if possible, on the third Monday of each month, the top five 60arrow (Portsmouth round) scores will constitute the club’s score for the month.

A gentle reminder to anyone coming to the club to shoot, can folks please make an effort to get to the venue in good time to help set up the range, it seems unfair to let one or two people do the work before getting ready to shoot.
