News Postings - October 10th 2010 September news has now been moved to the archive but today I have added the entry form for Killingworth Archers Open. (Please view from 'google calendar') also included are the fixture lists and rules for the longbow and Compound winter league for this coming season (provided by Brian Trotter). These can be viewed from the 'Winter leagues' tab on the left margin menu. 'Logical League' month 1 is one third over so keep collecting your 'three dozen totals' until the end of the month. A 'better' score is always there?

News Postings - September 24th 2010 Letters to club secretaries announcing the 'Logical league' for this coming winter season are currently in the post. Entries can be made before October or during the month up to the time for the first scores to be reported. This is the fourth year that the league has been run and it costs only the price of a monthly email to the site.

News Postings - September 7nd 2010 After the County Committee Meeting held on Monday 6th September I have quite a list of things to update on the site. I shall start with a notice concerning Audrey and that is to inform that in lieu of flowers anyone who would wish to do so would be welcome to make a donation to the Marie Curie Centre, marie Curie Drive, Newcastle NE4 6SS.
News Postings - September 2nd 2010 It is with regret that I must report the passing of Audrey Hughes (Ponteland) after a prolonged illness.
I have a request from the Regional Secretary. To cut down in postage costs and improve communication it is requested that any club secretary using email could give the email address either directly to the region via the NCAS 'corrections' email address OR by sending the address to me at 'Replies' and I will pass these onto the regional Secretary. Please include your club name with any information. Thanks.
I have uploaded all outdoor County Records including the new 'Flight' records for ladies. This upload exceeds 100 files so please email 'Replies' if I have made any errors as checking this number is exceedingly difficult.
Entries for the 'Logical league' are coming in steadily. If you're in two minds about entering don't hesitate any longer and send in your details, Name - Sex - Bow type - and the division you think you'll fit comfortable into... and then start enjoying your archery indoors. For further details just read the pages for the league, linked from the 'home page'.
My aplogies that I missed the notice that we had two new candidate judges in Bill Lee and Mike McGowan. I have corrected my error and added the names to the 'Judges' page.
I have added a form for the 'Pip Bickerstaffe' workshop held at Riverside Archery Club and the link is HERE for a 'doc' version and HERE for a 'pdf' version. This event is to be held as two sessions on 9th and 10th october 2010. Some places remain on the Sunday session.
A new link is made available on the menu system for Eaton Manor, Eaton-Under-Heywood, Church Stretton, Shropshire. A holiday venue with facilities for archery. Used for archery training by the E.A.F. and other 'national' groups. This link is provided as a coutesy and we cannot be liable if you choose to use this facility although we have received good reports about it.
After the FITA star held over the Bank Holiday we would normally have made an award to the most improved DNAA archer. As the shoot was abandoned due to the excessive high winds this award has been delayed. The comittee agreed at the meeting last night that this should be awarded on the distance shot on the Sunday and the result will be announced in due course.
The venue for the Inter Counties Shoot held in early October has been announced as Driffield in Yorkshire.
Finally news of stolen equipment: The following equipment has been stolen from a member of GLAD. A Hoyt Avenger Plus, red in colour and all associated equipment, Sur Loc sight, Doinker, stabilisers, ACC arrows in a hard case. If you hear of anything like this either as an offer for sale or on a web site please inform GLAD. Also taken was a Hoyt Trykon Junior plus all equipment in a Strker bag.
I have received news from Graeme Baker that the 18m FITA scheduled for October has been cancelled and the Bray's scheduled for November will not be Record Status this year.
