Need To Know This Week
Clap, clap, it’s time for BAP!
This Saturday is BAP, our monthly opportunity for archers of all abilities to learn the steps in World Archery’s Beginner Award Programme. Come along for coaching and a chance to practice with others as you work towards your White, Black, Blue, Red or Gold Arrow. Please arrive by 10:30am. Later arrivals may not be able to join in the programme.
Outdoor Working Bee
Come and lend a hand at our working bee on Saturday 9 November from 11am. There’s lots of jobs for helpers of all abilities – from target maintenance, to clubhouse tidying, to groundswork.
Many hands will make light work – we look forward to seeing you there.
Guy Fawkes Closures
As part of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority’s ongoing commitment to protect Auckland’s ancestral mountains, all Maunga will be closed between 6.00 pm and 7.00 am from Saturday 2 November to Tuesday 5 November, during Guy Fawkes.
These closures help safeguard the native flora and fauna, which can take years to recover from fire damage. Preserving these taonga and the mauri (life force) of the Maunga is very important.
Although this will not affect our access to the range during our permitted shooting times, it’s important we are all aware of what’s happening on the Maunga.
