Safety Officer Report
Would all members (particularly longbows) please ensure they load their arrows with the bow facing towards the targets, it is poor practice to load them pointing towards a fellow archer on the line.
We will be highlighting this at practice sessions.
Karl is currently updating our 1st Aid Kit and also making up a second one.If you have a 1st aid qualification that we do not know about then please us know.

Following the success of the last one, 2 further dates have been fixed. Wednesday 14th July, 7pm at Deer Park will be another recurve bow session.
