Updates to Website

OK this is the second update to the website in the last few days, I hope you like it.

Just to let you all know, Nikki, Mark and myself have approached local businesses with the hope of gaining somewhere indoors to shoot over winter. So far we have not been successful but will continue to enquire around. If you know somewhere that may be interested let us know and we will approach them.

Do you want to keep shooting or not ?

Ok, simple question. What's happening on Tuesday nights ?
Yet again last week we had a good turn out for the floodlit shooting at the Castle. However, YET AGAIN, it was the same few people who carried all the equipment up into the castle and set it up for everyone to use.
YET AGAIN, this was being done while some members were stood round in the bailey of the Castle just watching and even setting up their own bows !
Sorry, guys but this is not on.
Even worse, when it came to taking all the equipment down again, it was left to initially FOUR people to do all the work. Thanks here go to Mark and Nikki who actually stayed on to help despite having a prior appointment elsewhere - making them late for that appointment. Thanks also to Kip who returned to the Castle to help as well.
Even with this dedicated help, it was still left to only seven people to take down all the equipment that had been used throughout the night by OVER TWENTY PEOPLE !!!

Simple fact is, this is supposed to be a Club. NOT somewhere where the same few people do all the work for everyone else. So if you intend shooting, as a Club member, at the Castle in future GET INVOLVED. Don't just expect that you can stand about and watch someone else do all the work because this simply won't happen in future.

This will go one of two ways.
Either people help, or the Club will change to restricted membership and only those that work shoot.

It should be obvious to everyone which choice the Committee prefer.
We set this Club up for the enjoyment of everyone who is interested.
Is it too much to ask that people simply help out more ?

Lets all join in and have fun together !
