Many thanks to everyone who came to help yesterday at Brocklesby. It was a very very busy day. It was warm, very warm and muggy.
Once again - many thanks
Friday - 14th April 2009
Firstly, please accept my apologies for letting the information on this site slip a little. There is a few pages to update, and I am still trying to decide what would be the best way forward to carry this out. At the moment, the site is run on a system called Drupal (some of you computer addicts out there may have heard of this system), and this is fairly straight forward to run, in some ways. The other option is to use Microsoft FrontPage (or some equivalent software, so I’m in a bit of a quandary at the moment. Anyway, one for me to sort, soon I hope. Anyway some information for everyone ….
Assistance required – for the attention of all Club members
We are coming into the Spring/Summer season and the club would like anyone who would be available to help with the following:
Confirmed : We have once again been invited to attend the Brocklesby Show – this is, this year, on Sunday 28th June 2009. It is an all day event, and, as in previous years, if we can encourage enough people to come we would like to run the day so that everyone would have enough time to have a wander around the show. If you can help out, please feel free to contact any of the committee.
Provisional : We have also been asked if we can help out a local school with a “have-a-go” as part of the governments Sports Week – between 29th June and 3rd July. Although this is subject to confirmation, we would possibly be looking for assistance for a couple of hours on the morning of Tuesday 30th June. Again, if you could possibly help, please let a committee member know
Please note – as with last year, there may well be several more “have-a-go’s” across the summer, and we will let you know any further information as soon as we know anything.

The Old and the New
The next two images are reflections of our recent history. The left hand image is one I took early on when we were at Bottesford. The second was taken on the second time out at Barnetby Top. Because of this move, the club how has access to trees and woods, and there is now a growing, thriving Field Section (The 100Yard Club - please use the link at the top of the page for further information)
This site is a co-op type production between Smudgersworld (that'll be me), the Anchor Bowmen Of Scunthorpe and The 100 Yard Club.
This is a site for the encouragement, and support of, the sport of Archery.
I'm an ordinary type of fella - no one special. But for all here at "Chez Smudger" Archery is a family sport. And we also have the full range of involvement with the sport - ranging from full competition, all the way through to social shooting - if, and when, the fancy takes. Although the kids really where the start of our family involvement (via a School Have-a-go) we have now been shooting for over four years now..
In that time my Daughter has become a compulsive competition shooter (with her lightning Blue Hoyt Rintec Compound), I am now the Club Secretary and occasional competition shooter (Dad just got fed up of solely being the taxi), my lad is a very tall Footballer / Longbow archer, who has taken somewhat of a fancy to the Field Shooting, and my wife shoots Recurve/American Long Bow (when work allows).
This shows you how diverse Archery can be, there are so many options.
If you wish to be competitive, there are competitions galore. If you like a good "natter" its has a social aspect too.
For any up to date information, please make you way to the Club News Page , whereas, if you peruse the upper Navigation Bar, you will see that there is a variety of Information, Pictures and help.
If you have any comments, questions or observations please feel free to contact us - either via this link or via the Contact Us link.
