Last shoot of the year

Last shoot of the year coming up this Friday (17th December)

Secret Santa Rules

  • Your entry is a present with a value between £5 and £8 (your choice of which end of the scale you are at), the present is to be wrapped but not marked with any names etc.
  • The present is marked with a number, and a corresponding number is pinned to a boss.
  • Everyone then shoots one arrow each at the boss at the same time.
  • You then collect your arrows, if you hit a number, that present is the one you get.
  • Then shoot again until everyone wins a present.
  • 2 people in 1 number cancel each other out so both must shoot again.
  • If you hit your own number, shoot again
I’m open to suggestions for activities…
If anyone wants to bring some refreshments for a bit of a party, then by all means do so…

After that, we’ll be closed Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, reopening the first week in January (7th)

One End Wonder Competition

one end wonder
I am trying to put the fine details together for an in-house competition I’m calling “One End Wonder”
So far, my idea is for members to shoot as normal every week, and take a photo of your best end… if you beat the score that night replace the photograph… at the end of the night, either send me the photo of the highest-scoring end, either on messenger or via email…
I’ll then come up with some kind of leaderboard or table, weekly, monthly annual etc. Then I’ll sort some form of fair ranking (open to suggestions) … Can get some prizes or awards to back this up…
If nothing else it will be a good target to aim for with personal development…
I’m interested in knowing what members think, and how we can develop this better

The 300

Archery GB is running a competition called the 300

The 300 is the perfect opportunity to mix social media and competition for all levels of archers around the UK. It is a simple 30 arrow round at 18m.

2021 Halloween Bash

At the club, we have held some EPIC fancy dress Halloween shoots…
Halloween this year would be the 29th of October…
I’m interested in what the members want us to do?
Last year, I brought in the LARP Arrows… We could do that again… Food and music is a must… How about fancy dress?
We should discuss this now to get ready on time.
For those new enough to the club to not remember, have a look through the Facebook photographs…

Team Building Night

Our last club bonding night was February last year (just before COVID)…

As we’re closed over Hull Fair, I am wondering if any of our members fancy a couple of games of bowling like last time…

Bowling has always been a popular choice, as it’s something that our younger members can participate in…

If this is of any interest to our members, then let me know so we can arrange something…

Logo and Header Competition

Hi Everyone…
As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been having work done on the website  and our FaceBook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/HullArchery
We’re on the hunt for a new header/logo for these pages and would like you to design them for us.
Your designs can be emailed to brett@hullarcheryclub.co.uk
If we choose to use yours, you will receive this fantastic archery/sports telescope…
This is an open competition, so anybody can enter, not just club members
Good Luck Everyone

Re-Opening

It’s looking likely that the archery club can re-open after the 7th June 2021, so our first session would be Friday 11th June…

 

For the time being, this will be only for existing members…

I’d appreciate it if members could message me with their intentions…

Thanks

Archery GB latest information

An update from Archery GB is as follows
Indoor archery for everyone else can take place from 12 April, however, it is an individual activity only. That means one archer, or a household, could book a single target, turn up & shoot, and then leave.
As you can probably understand, this means we will not be opening the club as of yet as we could not sustain the club with those numbers.
Hopefully, the update in May will give us a better chance of returning back to normal…
Thanks…
