A reminder of the normal Summer routine that applies. Oakleaf Field is open 7 days/week to all Members - except when grass cutting is undertaken, which is usually Tuesday afternoons 2:00pm to 4:00pm but can also be weather dependant. Monday evening is Coaching Night – so come along to sort out those bad habits! Wednesday evening is Club Night – so come along and socialise with fellow members. Saturday morning is Junior Club 10:00am to 12:00am— so please come along and help. |

THE ASHES WERE HELD ON 22nd APRIL 2012. After a very blustery afternoon with very heavy showers—in fact everything but snow – the ASHES were claimed by Bath, albeit by a narrow margin.
A Buffet tea was then enjoyed in the clubhouse. Many thanks are due to the CA members who helped with all the aspects of this event and bravely battled the elements to defend the Trophy. |

The Easter Bunny Shoot was a huge success, despite a rather damp and blustery day. Shooting was on all 28 targets with Awards in all categories. Gordon Day very kindly donated two new trophies, awarded to the highest score at the Easter Bunny Shoot for The President`s Ladies Compound and The President`s Gents Compound. These were awarded for the first time to Clare Wakeley of Cheltenham Archers and Andy Wilkes of Evesham Archers. A National Record Status was claimed by Reuben Kingston for a Short Junior National, Barebow, with a score of 492. Many thanks are due to all the CA members who helped with the event, which resulted in a cheque for £400.00 being presented to Help for Heroes.

AN OLYMPIC OPPORTUNITY We have been given the chance to run an Archery "Have a Go" session at the London 2012 Torch Relay Community Festival: Cheltenham Racecourse 23rd May. The event will take place from 4 to 9pm at the Cheltenham racecourse. Gates will open to the public about 3:30pm and the Torch Arrival ceremony is scheduled for about 6-7:30pm. During this period no other activity should take place. The community festival will then continue until 9:00pm. We need as many bodies as possible to help run this session. If you feel that you could help out for all or some of the time please contact me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE with some idea of the time you will be available. Lets make it a great advert for Cheltenham Archers. Adrian Gifkins Secretary |
