ARCHERY UK • WINTER 2013 10 NEWS A NEW STRATEGY Involving members is key to keeping them

ore and more people are flocking to archery. But the big question is: how do we keep them in the sport? Like many other clubs,Andover Archers’ membershipM has been boosted by the upsurge in interest in the sport.Around 120 people visited its 2012 Big Weekend event – and 70 of them signed up for its waiting list. Extra beginners’ courses were set up to meet the demand and, of the original 70, 60 joined the club. The next challenge was to keep them, so Andover Archers set up a development group headed by Brian Dickerson and tasked with integrating the new archers and supporting their aspirations. The result has been a series of “how to” sessions on fletching, bow tuning and maintenance, all geared to build new members’ skills and make them part of the family.They culminated in a novice shoot, which was set up to give them a taste of what it is like to compete in a real tournament. Development group member Rob Welfare said:“Although it’s too soon to be completely assured of success, the club has been invigorated by the new blood and early indications would suggest it will result in far greater retention.The strategy will now be used as a blueprint following future beginners’ courses.” G ABOVE RIGHT: Briefing time at the novices’ shoot Hello, what’s ABOVE: Novice archer Natalie Grayson’s found the centre! going on here?

ARCHERY’S GOOD FOR MATHS AND IT’S GOOD FUN TOO Eleven-year-old Abbie Mason loves archery – and she wants everyone to know why! This is her story:

I started doing archery in October 2011 after I attended an introduction to archery course run by Hillingdon Archery Club during the half term week. I really enjoyed it so I decided to take it up. In the beginning I used club equipment, but now I have my own bow and equipment. I have really improved over the last year.Archery is a great sport to get in to. It teaches you to be patient and improves your maths. I have attended several competitions and I have won eight medals and four trophies so far.My favourite shoot is the Worcester league.This year we are doing frostbite, which I am taking part in. On our first one it rained really hard and Igot soaking wet, but it was fun. My greatest achievement was when I won the junior team event trophy at the GOA shoot. I enjoy being a part of Hillingdon and I look forward to attending every week because it is a friendly club. Q: Why Abbie Mason don't anteaters get sick? A: Because they're WELL DONE full of ANTibodies! GRACIE! Congratulations to 13-year-old Gracie Savage of Royal Leamington Spa Archery Society – she’s achieved Junior Bowman in just six months! Its junior co-ordinator Jonathan Maher said: “Gracie is incredibly helpful and enthusiastic, helping out on club tournament days, always with a smile and she is already planning ahead for Junior Master Bowman.” 22 JUNIORS

ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY IS... Sixteen-year-old Christina McGouran is starting early.She has only been shooting for two years but managed to get the first Robin Hood by a junior and only the second in the history of East Durham Archers. Christina, who holds five junior county barebow records, was pleased...and annoyed at wrecking two arrows. But she has just had a birthday and was planning on getting her parents to buy her some new arrows... RECORD BREAKER Kathryn Bolton is 11, took up archery two years ago and set a new national Q: What do you call barebow record the first time she shot for Hampshire. Not bad going! cheese that isn't It happened in a county match against Sussex and Kathryn, a member of Waterside Archers, shot 1,126 in a Bristol 5, beating the old yours? record by 108 points. A: Nacho cheese! And Kathryn is sure of one thing – for her, barebow is the only way to go. She is looking forward to the Barebow Indoor Championships and the Junior National Indoor Championships and has managed to add more records to her total. She now holds the UK record for the under 14s and under 12s junior women’s short Junior Western and the Hampshire record for the Short Junior Windsor. Did you know...? ...that the Minister of Magic in the Harry Potter films is a world authority on the longbow and has written a book about it? The actor Robert Hardy published a book called ‘Longbow: A Social and Military History’ in 1992 and it is crammed with interesting facts and stories. He says that throughout the 14th century,there was a national effort to supply good English archers for military campaigns – and all the equipment they needed. It is said that in one year, the Tower of London received 20,000 bows, 850,000 arrows and 50,000 bowstrings,And the following year, 1360, 10,000 bows and 500,000 arrows were handed over in only two months!

GROWING Q: What do you call an alligator ALL THE TIME in a vest? In 2011,West Essex Bowmen set up a junior section with 15 active members. A: An investigator! This autumn, that number had risen to 51 – and it keeps growing all the time. They have helped take the total number of club members from just over 100 to more than 150 – and juniors now make up more than half of all beginners’ courses. So what have they been up to? Club chairman Jeremy Clifford said they had been building friendships and team spirit that has took them to regional and national competitions and resulted in two second-place team trophies. “Not so long ago that was just a dream”, he said.“Juniors now get an individual journal to record their knowledge and growth in the sport.And they work with club and county coaches so they have a fully traceable history. “To see so many juniors enjoying and wanting to improve their archery is an absolute pleasure and testament to the commitment of the club to ensure the future for West Essex Bowmen now and in the coming years.” QUITE A DOUBLE ACT Nethermoss Juniors Heather Hughes and Thomas Rice put in a cracking performance at the 18th Assheton Novice Shoot. Thomas only started shooting compound in January but he managed to get a first class score in the St Nicholas round and win his category. Heather has only been shooting a few months longer but she won her recurve category AND scored more points than the winner of the junior gents’ recurve category.She also shot two six gold ends and ended up with a junior bowman score. And they had another good day at the Lancashire Archery Association Junior Championships. Heather took the under 14s recurve title, won a Red Rose award and got her first Junior Master Bowman score while Thomas won his compound category, a Blue Rose award and got his six gold end. 26 JUNIORS Arrows that go bump…

What do you get when Gandalf the Grey meets priests, knights, zombies and werewolves? Spookily enough, you get a shockingly good night of fun! Gandalf – also known as club coach Geoff Beeston – was firmly in control at the Bowmen of Charnwood’s Hallowe’en shoot. This year it was a team event and a new set of rules was devised. But it came with a twist. Points were scored for shots on target. Higher points were awarded, depending on the difficulty of the shot but points were deducted for hitting the wrong targets. Paul Rowley, treasurer of the junior section, said:“Each year we look forward to the Hallowe’en shoot because it gives our junior members a break from indoor league shoots and progress awards. But deep down I think the senior members look forward to this one too...” Gandalf was on hand with his magic staff to help anyone in need of some wizardry to improve their shooting.And the winners were: Chris Evans,Terri Noone, Jay Glenn and Fred Searl.

Remembering Flodden Shoot marks 500th anniversary and raises charity cash

n 9 September 1513, English and Scottish armies squared up on Flodden Field in Northumberland. It was, arguably, one of the last battles in which longbows played a crucial role. It was certainly the last on British soil. It resulted in victoryO for the English, an estimated 15,000 deaths – including James IV of Scotland – and a unique war memorial, the Flodden Window, at St Leonard’s Church, Middleton, thought to be one of Britain’s oldest. On 8 September 2013, archers gathered to commemorate the battle and to raise cash towards the upkeep of the recently restored window, which is dedicated to the Middleton Archers. It features the names of 17 captains of archers, their priest, Sir Richard Assheton, the man who commissioned the window and rebuilt the church, and his wife. Sixty-seven archers registered for the UK record and Tassel Status one-way double Middleton Archers Charity Clout – and raised more than £455. It was the third organised by Rochdale Company of Archers and brought the total raised for the window to more than £1,100. An RCA spokesman said:“It seems a fitting way to mark the 500th anniversary, commemorate the archers, preserve the memorial and remind people about the crucial role archery has played in Britain’s history. It is also a fantastic way to get people involved so they can find out for themselves what a great sport archery is.” And getting involved was what it was all about.There was a have-a-go as well as the shoot, a cake competition which was won by eight-year-old Emily Campbell, prizes for period dress and the chance to meet Hollywood actor and director Hopwood Dupree who was in town to research family links and agreed to be Lord Patron.The Lady Paramount was Wendy Hodkinson, honorary curator of archery at Manchester University. In fact it proved such a success that it will be held again next year, with Goldcrest Archers of Cheshire sponsoring the UK record status. G 50 FIELD ARCHERY The hills are alive... With the sound of 3D field archers. When Amanda Cale of Tyndale Archers decided to find out more about 3D field archery, she did it in style. She travelled to Austria with husband Tim for the holiday of a lifetime. She came back inspired.This is what she found:

WINTER 2013 • ARCHERY UK 82 FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We would like to thank the following sponsors and partners And Finally For long term support of our core programmes: ell the winter is almost upon us and indoor shooting is in full swing.At least it’s dry inside! WThe final year total of 43,000-plus members is brilliant. My thanks have to go to all you out there for running beginners courses and accommodating the new members.And, as ever I never tire of saying ‘top job’ and well done to every single one of you. Performance Sponsor: I must, of course, also say well done to the Archery GB office staff who continue to impress with the turnaround of new members’ forms as well as all the other work they do for us. I was privileged to be able to attend the World Archery Congress in Belek, Turkey. It involved two good but long days of discussion about how World For helping us raise standards: Archery moves forward in the next two years. I was even more honoured to collect a bronze plaque on behalf of Pauline Betteridge for her great work in the area of Para Archery classification.Tom Dielen said that she was the “mother of Para classification.” It was also great to see Archery GB member Chris Marsh receive a silver plaque, the highest honour given other than to a former president, for his 2013 Archery GB National Series: outstanding work at the Olympics and Paralympics. Our elite archers continue to excel. Our Para team had an outstanding World Championships, bringing back seven medals in one of our best results ever. And your youth archers put in a stunning performance too, bringing back golds and a bronze from Wuxi and securing two places for GB in next year’s Gold Youth Olympic Games. Closer to home, I have been travelling around the country with a small team, meeting members and discussing how we govern ourselves.We have had some great meetings and some excellent ideas have come from them. My thanks to all who attended. By now you will have seen the information about this and I hope that you take part in the consultation.This is an extremely important part of how we, as a sport, move forward into the next 10 to 15 years. I look forward to seeing you at the indoor national in Coventry as well as other events. Shoot well and enjoy. And finally, may I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very happy new year.
