Durham City Archers

Results for the third round of the UK Nationals are up, a few familiar names can be seen therein…

HERE

15th of May 2010

Assembly at 12:00 sighters at 12:30, however we will be there as normal from 11:00 so come down early for some sneaky practise

We are shooting a Stafford (6doz @ 30m on a 60cm face) outside if the weather is good, indoors if not.

Club members only, no need to enter, just register on the day.

For info: contact Lloyd or Julie.

Note to all interested members:

There will be a coaching session for adult archers on Friday the 21st of May and a similar event for junior archers on Saturday the 22nd of May.

If you are interested in improving your shooting (all bowtypes) please get back to me ASAP as places are limited.

Grab either Paul or me at the club anytime, drop me a mail, or add a comment to this post.

Congratulations to our novices who kicked ass today at the DNAA Novice Championships!

Well done to all of you. You Rock!

Update: The photos from the event are now up in the Gallery, check them out.

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.

In the news again? yes indeed:

We went. We saw. We Conquered.

Congratulations to:

Deirdre Kennedy – Winner – Ladies Recurve.

Lloyd Pattison – Winner – Gents Compound.

Go us!

I am told that Julie’s new bow has arrived, but she is being coy about photos. We shall wait with baited breath to see if the dark side of the force is strong with this one…..
