It’s that time of year again….. sort of. With restrictions finally starting to relax we’re happy to let you all know that our AGM will be going ahead on Sunday 27th June at Widewell Primary. This is a much later date than usual as we’ve had to hold off until it was safe for us to all meet together.
This year it’s really important for our members to attend. Not only will we be voting in the new committee but there will also be a review of our shooting venue and a vote on updates to our constitution. More details and a full agenda will be emailed out to members closer to the date.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all there.

Thank you to everybody who attended the AGM on Tuesday and thank you to all the committee members for giving your time and effort to running the club. The newly elected committee remains mostly the same with only a few changes. You can see our full committee here.
The club account is currently healthy and we’re looking to spend some money on new foam bosses in the near future. We’ve also obtained a trio of bag targets for use at events such as the Cornwood Show in August.
Many records and awards were handed out following the audit of the records system and the recent winter postal leagues. There are still a few to hand out though, due to some people not being able to make the AGM. For up to date records, see the Club Records page. Also keep an eye out at the start of May for the first Records Report.
Simon has been working behind the scenes on the website (including supporting the updated records). With the records now updated and more easily done so in future, we hope that people will visit them and look to set/break some records this year. As always, the rounds and classifications are available from this page.
In addition to the Cornwood Show on August 8th, we will be attending another show at Hatt on June 15th. We will run a have-a-go stall at both, which can provide the club with extra money, as well as hopefully encouraging members of the public to give our sport a try and do a beginners course with us. We will be looking for volunteers to help run the stalls on both days, so please consider helping the club. If you can help, speak to the Public Relations Officer (Jim) for more details.

AGM Last night saw the end of the current indoor season and with it our Annual General Meeting. Here’s a few highlights for those who missed it.
The club has never been stronger with regular attendance helping to support the replacement of most of our indoor targets (you probably remember all those hard to pull arrows!). We want to extend a big thank you to all of our members who have made our club such a great place to shoot and have fun.
During the meeting all committee nominations were reviewed and we now have a newly elected committee. You can see the new committee on the committee page. We still have a few open positions, so if you think you would like to help with the running of the club please let us know!
Next the results of the Tavistock Trophy were announced. The results are as follows:
Gents Barebow – Richard Burridge
Ladies Barebow – Suzie Deagan
Junior Ladies Barebow – Jess Yeoman
Gents Recurve – Simon Bench
Ladies Recurve – Charlotte Irons
Gents Longbow – Bob Dakin
Gents Compound – Marcus Yeoman
Gents Traditional – Pasty Cain
Ladies Traditional – Karen Ingram
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who represented us in the postal league.
To wrap things up we said congratulations to Bob Dakin who received the Handicap improvement medal and to Marcus Yeoman for setting nine club records!
From next Tuesday 25th our mid-week shooting will now be outside. For those who don’t know this will be across the road at the All Saints Academy Sports Field. As before please use the entrance at the top of the grounds and park up then walk down. To make the most of the light we will be starting at 6:30pm, but if you can’t make it until later there’s no problem.
One last point for outdoor shooting. It’s inevitable that arrows will be lost in the grass during the course of shooting. They are tricky to find and stick out where you can barely see them. Owing to this it is very important that shoes which cover the whole foot are worn when shooting to prevent injury.
See you on the field!
Simon
