Due to the continual bad weather and subsequent ground conditions, archery scheduled to be held at Sywell this Tuesday 1st May, will now be held at Carlsberg indoors – usual times.
Shooting venue
New about where we shoot such as changes to times, cancelled meeting etc
Sywell is Waterlooged – Saturday cancelled – but back on Tuesday (hopefully)
The conditions at Sywell are absolutely atrocious due to the persistent rain. The car park and area round the container are waterlogged and the field as you can imagine is worse. The decision has therefore been made to abandon archery tomorrow (Saturday 28th April). Subject to conditions improving outdoor shooting on Tuesday evenings starts at Sywell on Tuesday 1st May at around 5.30pm to dusk. We will keep you posted of any changes.
The collection of Sponsor money from the Shootathon will be finalised next Saturday 5th May
We will now be able to shoot 4 days a week
As from 25th January we will be having a fourth session of shooting per week, when Carlsberg will be available to us from 7pm. on Wednesdays in addition to the advertised times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Shooting at Moulton continues as normal. Times added to our shooting calendar by DT on 5th Feb.
Revised Times for Carlsberg on Tuesday Nights
Shooting at Carlsberg Social Club on TUESDAY nights will now start at 8pm and not 7.30pm. Shooting on Thursdays will remain unchanged.
John Ashby Sports Hall
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.
