Need To Know This Week

It’s Indoor Nationals at our indoor range all weekend

Good luck to all those shooting the Auckland Clubs Indoor Nationals at our indoor range this weekend. There are two flights each on Saturday and Sunday which means the range will be NOT be available for casual shooting at any time during the weekend.
Huge thanks to Kerry Hoole for masterminding this event.

Oceania Challenge on Sunday

The window to compete in the World Archery Oceania Challenge is nearly over. Archers have until the end of September to shoot their round and submit their scores on ArcheryOSA. With this in mind, the Young Adult training line is shooting this round on Sunday from 1pm. If any other club members would like to join, please turn up around 12.30pm so we can get everyone set up in a timely fashion.
Info on the Oceania Challenge can be found on Archery OSA here.

ADAA District Doubles

Auckland District Archery Association is running a fun tournament at MGAC on Sunday 19 October, 9am – 4pm. Details below…

Are you a husband and wife that shoot together? Parent and child? Siblings? Best friends?

Do you think you have what it takes to beat other pairs in the district? Are you prepared to work together to win the coveted District Doubles trophy?

If you have your own wooden or plastic recurve you’d like to bring along, let us know. You will be required to take the sight off. BYO armguards/finger-tabs if you have them, otherwise they will be provided for you.

Are you in the RED?

It’s time to get your new sparkly red membership card – all you need to do is re-sign and pay your fees for the new year. Just look for the renewal email, or go TidyHQ, and log in using the email address and password you used when you joined the club.

Once you have renewed, your card will be at the clubhouse the week following. My label maker is getting a good workout! You’ll also receive a new code for the indoor range – note the current code will continue working til the end of the month.
