Club FITA Tournament
On the 29th of July Redruth Archers held their yearly FITA
tournament on the Portreath Road field.
Our thanks go to all those helpers on the day who make our
tournaments such a success. Special mention must be made of Jenny,
who after only her second archery lesson with us brought a huge
cake as her contribution to the day - and apologised that she
could not be there in person. You must join us Jenny.
Results will be on-line soon.
'Have a go' days
As you know, the Club regularly raises money from outside
sources to keep members' sub as friendly as possible. This is done
by means of 'Have-a-go's' to give others a taste of our sport and
hopefully inspire them enough to join us.
The sessions are usually held on our field so there is no
transportation involved, although a few are held at outside
venues.
These dates often come at short notice, so it is dificult to
publish a list in advance, but details are posted up in the
Portakabin beforehand.
There are three 'aways' arranged during August:
- Penzance Junior School on the 6th August
- Penzance Junior School on the 13th August
- Penzance Humphrey Davey School on the 20th August
- Not the Stithians Show on the 19th September
Our thanks go to all those who have given their support to the
eight this year so far - you know who you are
You have raised £242 so far
this year (to be updated)!
Redruth Archers Club Championships
The Club Championships this year will be held on the 30th of
September on the Club field.
This is when we find out who the champion will be and who is
the best of their class, with hidden prizes, random pairs,
trophies etc. and a barbeque if weather permits
The round, as always, is a Windsor, i.e. 3 doz arrows at 60 yds,
3 doz at 50 yds and 3 doz at 40 yds. Although shorter variations
are also shot for the benefit of the juniors or those of you that
can't reach the longer distances.
As the round is handicapped on the earlier ends absoltely
everybody stands a chance of winning the handicap trophy.
D.C.A.S. Summer League 2001
Many thanks to all archers - Seniors and Juniors, who have been
shooting the Warwick rounds and putting their scores in for the
Summer League.
We are doing quite well at the moment, but could always do with
more scores.
Come along on Thursday evenings and shoot a Long or Short
Warwick round (depending on your bow type and ability), then leave
the scores in the box provided in the Club garage.
If you have never shot a round before, don't be afraid, do ask
a senior member to help.
No need to be a Robin Hood or a Maid Marion, if you can shoot
50 yds (seniors) or 40 yds (juniors) give it a go.
One wheel short of a trailer
Please be on the look-out for a 13" wheel (Ford Escort or
similar) as a spare for the Club's trailer.
Mower needed
We are looking for a triple-gang mower set suitable for twing
behaind a car to assit in grass cutting, so please keep an eye
open in the local second-hand advert columns.
Who's the boss!
Just to remind you that the bosses in the garage are
colour-coded for your convenience. The edges of the bosses are
coloured as follows:
| None |
Compound bows |
| White |
Recurve bows |
| Red |
Longbows |
If you choose the appropriate colour for yourself you should
not be troubled by bouncers or pass-throughs.

Numbers are generally available 'on the night' (Wednesdays) if
you happen to be there, but the best and most reliable way is to
make out a standing order with your bank. Go on! It's only £1 a
month and some vacancies have recently become available.
Subs are due
Yes it's that time of year again! Woe, woe and thrice woe!
Do go and pay Barbara a visit, she'd love to see you. but don't
forget to bring your money
As usual, it's £50 for the big ones and £10 for the tackers
