December has arrived and it’s back, the Whiteleaf Bowmen Christmas Indoor Fun Shoot and get together.

When? – Thursday 19^th December

Where? – Lacey Green Village Hall

What Time? – 19:00 for assembly at 19:15

Distance? – About 12yds/11m

Seriousness? – It’s fun, random scoring which you will only find out after you have shot

Dress Code? – Anything, but Christmas attire is welcomed.

Cost? – None

Every club member is invited to the indoor fun shoot (details above).  The evening will consist of some short-range shooting at mystery target faces with mystery scoring, meaning that anybody could win a chocolate prize.  There will also be some savoury snacks and cakes and a quiz to test the brain cells.

Shooting is not compulsory as there will be seating behind the shooting line so come along and meet other members of the club.

Tea and coffee will be available but please bring your own cup/mug and any other drink you would like.

Hopefully see you there.

Indoor sessions will commence in October at Lacey Green village hall. As last year, we have a mix of Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Sessions (ready to shoot) are at: 1730, 1930, and, with prior notification on the Whiteleaf Indoor WhatsApp Group, at 2130. If you are not already a member of the group and would like to be added, please contact Paul with your name and phone number: treasurer@whiteleafbowmen.org.uk

For those of you who are new to indoor shooting, each session we will be shooting a Portsmouth round (5 doz @ 20yds, ends of 3 arrows).

Cost per session is: £3 adult club members, £5 visitor, £2 junior.

Please note there will be no cash payments. You will need to sign in for every session that you shoot (please make sure your full name is clearly written). You will be billed twice – once at the end of December, and again at the end of the season, electronic bank transfer is the preferred method of payment.

Why not try something new this year? We’re putting on our first Archery course of the year.

Led my qualified instructors, you will learn the basics of archery technique, equipment and range safety.

The course will commence on Saturday the 3rd of February and will run for 4 weeks. 

Timings: 9:30am to 12pm.
Venue: Lacey Green Village hall (HP27 0QT).
