A big well done to our summer beginners who all did really well improving their techniques and skills. Everyone was full of enthusiasm for the sport and finished the course as toxophilites. Nearly all have joined the club and we are looking forward to seeing them at the field and joining them on their archery journey.
As always a big thank you to the coaches and members who make it all possible.
