Sunday saw our spring tasters take to the field for an enjoyable afternoon of archery. All had some good fun and finished up with some balloon popping. Well done everybody and a special thanks to our coaches and members who made it all possible. We hope that the group want to take things further and we see them again on a beginners' course.

It was with mixed emotions when our members met for our first indoor shoot of the winter season for a planned Halloween shoot. The event was overshadowed by the recent sad loss of one of our members Ian Sharp who lost his battle with cancer. We decided to go ahead and also make it a charity event for Ian's charity. Attending members enjoyed the evening and also raised over £200 on the night for the charity. Well done everyone and a big thanks for the contributions

Our members met together to celebrate St. Sebastian Archers' tenth aniversary shoot. Despite the weather, everyone had a great time having fun and some great food. We also had a few club records broken. To top things off, the weather wasn't too bad after all. Well done everybody.

Bad weather forced us to re-chedule our summer beginners' course with most beginners thankfully able to attend the re-scheduled course. All did really well building up their technique and getting some great groupings. Also a big club welcome to our new members who joined after the course.

MORE SUCESSES IN THE WINTER LEAGUES!!
For the third year running, St. Sebastian Archers top the tables in both the DCAA and Selby leagues.
​
In the Derbyshire Indoor Portsmouth leagues winning both the league and the handicap league. We also came out top in the Derbyshire outdoor Frostbite league and came a very close runner up in the Frostbite handical league.
​
In the Selby League we did equally as well. Team A and team B winning their respective divisions of the indoor Portsmouth leagues and in the Frostbite Leagues, team A won division one while team B came an admirable fourth.
Remarkably we won six out of the eight leagues/divisions we entered. Thanks to everyone who submitted scores and well done on the results.

A brilliant turnout for St. Sebastians belated Christmas shoot. The shoot included medals, raffle and a charity collection for one of our members who is not too well at the moment with cancer. The night raised £115 which is going to St. Luke's Hospice.
Sean Copcutt had a FAB night, getting first in the shoot and club Bray 2 record, third in the handicap and then goes and draws first price in the raffle..........cries of FIX! from around the hall.
Well done Sean.
Not forgetting the damaged arrow for Jon Oldroyd......OOPS!
