Indoor Season

Just a note to let you know that the indoor archery season starts next Tuesday 4th October and runs term-time only. Arrive at the Ursuline College sports hall at 6:30pm to start shooting at 7pm - the round is a 'Portsmouth' (5 doz arrows@20yds), and should be completed by 9pm.

Cost of each session is £4 adult/£2 juniors payable at the door. Apparently this is now only available for TAC members and associate members.

For the benefit of those members who haven't shot at the Ursuline college before, here's the easy way to find your way to the sports hall.

The page has an 'aerial view' map of the college entrance, and you can 'drag'/zoom the picture to help you find the way to St. Angela's car park, and there is now another car park nearer to the sports hall. The sports hall is the white-roofed building around the other side of St Angela's, marked curiously as "Invicta Artistic Roller Skating Club". Enter by the roadway adjacent to the Hundreds Farm Stables entrance (immediately after if coming from Margate direction, immediately before if coming from Birchington direction). When you get to the gate, press '3' on the keypad and drive through,

Exiting the college afterwards is easy - you follow the straight road marked "Canterbury Road, Westgate" out to the gate, which opens automatically.

Update 7/10/22

Just a couple of corrections to the information above.

Indoor archery stops for Christmas, but continues through the half-term holiday.

Non-club members may shoot as visiting archers at up to 4 sessions, but will need to take up associate membership

to continue shooting after that.

Clout Shoot

Another successful Clout Shoot this year. Well done to everyone who helped to make the day a success.

We were off to a rocky start when both organisers were not able to make it and all of the marks had been removed from the field so everything had to be measured out again on the morning! Just when you think things couldn't get much worse, the toilet key went AWOL. Regardless, the day went really well.

Thank you to Roy, Fred, Paul, John, Lee and Dave for setting up the field twice! Thank you also to Roy, Sharon and Trish for the food and Linda for sorting out the admin. Thanks also go to our Lady P, Helen, John for helping with scoring and our judge, Mark Davies.

Some photos are available in the gallery.

HM Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022

When someone associated with the club passes away, our tradition is to shoot

a black arrow at the start of the following Saturday's shoot. Following the death

of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8th Sept 2022, a black arrow was shot as a mark of respect for her 70 years of service to the nation.
