Saturday 8th October 2011 saw NAC begin shooting at a brand new venue. John Ashby Sports Hall at Moulton College is the biggest indoor venue the club has ever shot at. Its longer (we can comnfortably shoot a 25 yrd Bray round) and wider (we can fit up to 8 butts and 16 targets) with plenty of space for up to 50 archers and all their equipment. The first session began a few minutes late at 11am. Dave Stephens, pictured here, had the pleasure of shooting the first arrow. Around 30 members enjoyed shooting 20 yards indoors for the first time. All things being well we’ll look at a members indoor competition in December and perhaps an indoor open in 2012 if we can find a slot in the county calendar. Hopefully they’ll be an album of memories from this day posted very soon.

NCAS County & Open Championships 2011
This years NCAS County & Open Outdoor Championships was held on 11th September and hosted by Wellingborough Open Archery Club.
Despite the tricky conditions there was a great turn out this year with nearly all catagories being full. Strong variable winds throughout the day nearly resulted in the shoot being abandoned in the afternoon, but everyone agreed to see it through to the end.
