• New Opening Time - Kristy has moved her coaching group to Wednesday afternoons. As such she will be opening up the club for other members to come down and shoot. So, yay! More chances for you to do archery. Less excuses. Thanks Kristy! 💘
• Khuru time again - Our local Bhutanese community has tentatively booked our upper archery field for their traditional Khuru games on the 22nd of August. If you haven’t seen it played before, it’s totally worth the watch & a great atmosphere! 🎯
• Please welcome our newest, fully approved club members: 👏👏👏
(U14) Hannah Owens, (Open) Tamara Ren, & Lauren Williams
Etiquette
If you’re still at the club near packing up time, please offer to help. It really is appreciated. There are a number of small, simple tasks that can be done to make life easier. Eg.:
• Flip up the “archery in progress” signs at the top of the stairs & entry gate. 😍❤❤
• Taking down the Red “Shooting” Flag 🥰❤❤
• Packing up the chairs & tables. 😻
• Taking the rubbish bin bag home to your wheelie bin. 😍❤💓💝
• Help close the container & shed doors. 💕
• Open the gates surrounding the field to let the kangaroos back in. 🦘
I can say from experience, any one of those being done helps a lot & is very appreciated.
“Alternative” Archery Facts
Not all who wander are lost. Some are looking for arrows.
Tip of the Week
📆 Annual Grounds Fee 💸
Looking for a gift for that special Archer in your life? Or perhaps that archer is you & you want to save yourself some considerable time & money? Then consider purchasing an Annual Grounds Fee. For the low price of $200 per year for adults, and $80 for under-18s, you can shoot all the arrows you want at our club, and never have to queue at the pay terminal again! If that isn’t enough reason, you can save between 20% to 40% compared to the regular daily ground fees!
Safety Tip
🥊🦘 Kangaroos are wild! 🦘🥊
It’s Joey/Mating/Fighting season again at the club grounds. We need to be extra careful when approaching our fellow furry club members. We have had near misses in the past where a big male attempted to attack an adult archer when he wasn’t looking. Please remember, they are wild creatures. They can inflict serious injuries. Give them the distance, caution, & respect they deserve.
• Don’t allow children or short people to approach the kangaroos alone.
• Use overwhelming size & numbers when trying to scare off the kangaroos from the field. Don’t let someone try to do this alone. Help your fellow archers scare them off.
• If a big male stands up & starts growling or grunting; Back off! Get more help before proceeding.
• Don’t get between or close to a joey & its mother or a bull male. This can trigger them to charge & attack.
