Short mini-workshops Following Friday evenings management meeting it was decided to try
running short single topic 10 minute workshops on a range of subjects during some club practice sessions. On Saturday we discussed
‘arrow selection’ and on Sunday the topic was ‘pressure buttons’. This approach seemed to be well
received, if you have a topic you would like to be covered then talk to the coaches.

courses in last 6 months).
