NOTICE: Cleadon Archers' AGM will take place on the evening of Thursday 23rd October, beginning at 7pm. All club members should try to attend if they can; it will give you a chance to have a direct say on the election of committee members and changes to the organisation and running of the club.

07-10-08: Many thanks to Colin Brown (and Nokia!) for the slow-motion video recordings taken during the final lesson of his Beginners' Course. These have been uploaded to our flickr albums: Colin a; Colin b; Colin c; Mike.

02-10-08: Indoor shooting on Sundays will begin on 12th October. Members should arrive as close to 2pm as possible to assist with the laying of protective mats; if they can't get there in time, they must help with putting mats away! Please be aware that, particularly on club shoot days, late arrivers may not be allowed to shoot.

02-10-08: Sunday 5th October sees the NCAS 5-Counties Tournament with the Durham and Northumberland Archery Association taking on the best of the rest from the North. What makes this contest particularly special is that FIVE Cleadon Archers will be representing the DNAA.
With Viv Davies shooting Ladies' Recurve, Peter Walton in the Gents' recurve, Bill & Ann Lee shooting longbow and Zoe Coggins shooting both Junior & Senior Compound, it looks pretty impressive to have Cleadon dominating the squad and is a fine recognition of the hard work and practice put in by so many at Cleadon. News from the event will appear here as soon as it reaches me!

29-09-08: Indoor Shooting continues on Wednesday and Friday nights as normal; contrary to an error in the 'Clippings', archers *WILL* be allowed to shoot during the Beginners' Lessons although a limit of three arrows per archer, per end will be strictly enforced to minimise damage to the target wall.

Those on the rota to assist with the Beginners' Course are reminded that their first lesson will take place on Wednesday 15th October and not on 1st October as printed on some documents; I would also like to ask that experienced archers set a good example by offering support and assistance to our novice archers from the summer courses as they have performed extremely well thus far and should, with help and encouragement, reach a very high standard.

29-09-08: The 50th Tyne-Tees Archery Tournament took place on Sunday 28th September at Framwellgate School, hosted by Durham City Archers. The day turned-out to be very successful for Cleadon Members, with tweleve medals coming our way. Viv Davies won the Ladies' Recurve, Zoe Coggins won the Junior Girls' Compound whilst Alex Coggins won Ladies' Longbow with Maureen Rylance second. Michael Rutherford won the Gents' Longbow with Ken Turner Second and Bill Lee third. Eric Coggins took third in the Gents' Compound. Ken Turner's medal was particularly special, as he had also competed in the very first Tyne-Tees Tournament, half a century ago!
The main event was followed by a short 'Novelty Round' in which four further medals came our way; Viv Davies took the Ladies' Recurve prize, Zoe Coggins took Junior Girl Compound, Bill Lee took Gents' Longbow and Alex Coggins took Ladies' Longbow.

22-09-08: The DNAA Logical League will be getting under way soon, now that indoor shooting is with us. It is a system for individual archers, not teams. The aim is to get novice archers used to competition and for intermediate archers to improve in a competetive environment, though it is open to archers of all DNAA clubs. A detailed Information Sheet and Registration Form can be downloaded in pdf format.
