NO Archery Session
Sun 18th June – Father’s Day
The school is holding their annual parents’ cricket match,
so there will be no archery session or access to the site.
Rather than having a lie in or late breakfast this could be a goodtime
to carry out some maintenance or build that new set of arrows.
Maybe even think about a fun shoot you could plan and run for the summer holidays.
In previous years we have had golf , animals and jelly bow tournaments,
or maybe a double clout, so yo can get those classifications.
