We are in the Northern Echo
When:
March, Friday the 19th 7pm – Saturday the 20th 7pm.
What:
We are forming several 4-person teams and shooting competitive rounds (Vegas – Worcester – Portsmouth – Brays) round the clock for 24 hours straight. Team scores will be kept as a running total and the winning team (highest score from all archers in all rounds) gets bragging rights for the next 12 months. We have not as yet decided if there will be a prize.
Why:
We are raising money for Sport Relief, donations gratefully received here: http://www.mysportrelief.com/teamdca
How you can help:
We need archers (members only) to join us and shoot, but if you can’t do the full 24 hours why not get sponsored for a single Portsmouth round on the Saturday? For junior members, we will be having a single Portsmouth round competition on Saturday morning so get you name down and get some sponsorship from your mates at school.
Anything else?:
Yup, we are also holding a have a go session on Saturday afternoon between 3-5PM charging 50p for 3 arrows, all proceeds going to charity so bring a curious friend who always wondered what that archery lark was all about.
Who:
Members who want to join us or in any way help us out (we are also looking for corporate sponsorship) contact Julie, Dee, Lloyd, Paul, Linda, Cath, Mike or, Chris, details on the contact page.
Firstly, Happy New Year everyone!
It’s AGM time again folks, so if you would like to attend we will be starting at 1:30PM on Saturday the 16th of January.
If you have anything you would like to add to the agenda, please contact Mike or Christine ASAP.
Just a quick post to thank everyone who came down to support the club, both shooters and helpers.
We hope you all had a great time as we did, and will join us again next year, now scoot on over to the gallery and have a look at the photos.
Have a great new year everyone.

DNAA Postal League: We are, as usual taking part, competing against all the other clubs in the county and will be asking everyone to join in and regularly submit Portsmouth scores. See Julie for dates and ask one of us if you have any questions about the league. Additionally, we will be using these scores to give everyone an indoor handicap, this will be used at the end of the indoor season in the spring, for our club indoor competition.
Christmas Party: The date and location are set, Saturday 28th of November, @ 7:30 (time may change) at The Old Mill. Speak to Dee for your reservation and to have a look at the menu. Everyone is welcome but places are limited, so act fast and get booked in ASAP to avoid disappointment.
