NAC is back at John Ashby Sports Hall

It has been great to see our club back at John Ashby Sports Hall following the start of the pandemic. I was unable to make the two Saturdays, but joined in for the first session on Saturday 23rd November.

I was greated by warm faces, everyone seemed to be happy to be able to shoot inside. We had a mix of those who had recently finished their beginners courses, members who haven’t shot for a long time and our seasoned members – all helping out where it was needed. 

Getting the hall set up is always a challenge for us to be able to start shooting at the advertised time of 9.15am, especially now we have a much shorter time to shoot in, so we welcome members to join us for 8.45am to begin this. 

We look forward to seing more of you on a Saturday through the winter.

A damp but successful beginners course

Saturday 2nd October was the final session of our most recent beginners course. The day was a very damp one, but this didn’t dampen the spirits! These photos tell a great story, and we are very lucky to have a shelter to shoot from under.

There are many moving parts that go into making a beginners course happen – from enrolling the beginners on to a course once dates have been set & agreed, collecting the money, arranging coaches and supporting archers. But that’s not all! There is also the equipment preparation before hand to ensure the bows are ready for use, setting up and packing away the targets and ensuring the supplies of tea & coffee are flowing (especially on a cold and wet day!). Finally and no means least each and every one of our members at Sywell making our beginners feel welcome to NAC!

Thank you & we hope to see them joining the club soon!
