May 2023
On Sunday May 21st, we had the privilege of having our local MP, Trish Doyle, attend the Club to present the certificates to our new people who have completed the Mountain Archers’ Beginning Course. We specifically invited Trish as she has been very supportive of our club in obtaining grants via NSW Sports and Recreation. We wanted her to not only meet the people and families who have benefited from her support but to also see all our people and families in action enjoying their archery. Unfortunately with severe weather (wind) warnings many took shelter at home . . . hahahahah – fair enough!! Trish has promised to come back in Spring/Summer!
Our effort in conducting activities to encourage more female participation and family groups has certainly borne fruit. It’s great to see. Two of our female archers are taking part in an indoor competition this week – hope it goes well Lee and Michelle! Archery can be (and is) a family sport (one of the few). We have plenty of inquiries for later in the year – when it’s warmer. A reminder that our active shooting line goes from their 80th year to their 8th . . . say no more!!
