Easter Clout and Pandamonium "NEW" venue
Easter Clout :- Sunday 23rd March 2008 will now be held at St George's Archery Club, St. John Fisher School, Harrogate, HG2 8PT.
Pandamonium:- Sunday 30th March will now be held at The Bowmen of Adel Archery Club, Adel memorial Sports Ground, Church Lane, Adel, LS16 8DE
Unfortunately the three new pitches that were to be the venue for the Easter Clout &
Pandamonium will not be ready for public use until the grass is established. After they sow the grass seed, the pitches will be ready for use April/May 2008.
We would like to thank The Bowmen of Adel and St George's Archery Club for their kind offer to hold these events once again at their grounds. 02.01.2008
Panda’s Getting a Makeover
There are a whole host of new changes taking place now and over the next 12-18 months at the West Park Leeds R.U.F.C. The Sycamores, Bramhope, Leeds.
Briefly, the whole site is to be totally transformed into creating a “Centre of Excellence”. The changes will provide a new two storey clubhouse, new car park, three more pitches (with a fourth planned), together with first class training areas. The latest state of the art Full Contact All Weather Pitch is to replace the existing training area.
We will be organising more Fun and Corporate shoots to be held on the existing junior playing field. This field will not be touched by the new development (this field can only accommodate a maximum of eight targets at a maximum of 60yds). The “Have a Go Day” and Archery Training will be unaffected as this field has always been used to hold these events. Club members shooting will not be affected as they also normally shoot on the junior field for practise and competition.
We would like to thank all the archers who have attended our tournaments over the years, and look forward to welcoming you back again when the new clubhouse is completed and Clout shooting and Pandamonium can begin again over the three new pitches.
INDOOR SHOOTING 2007/2008
This Winter we have booked four sessions of Indoor Shooting for members of Panda Bowmen. The venue is St Edmunds Church Hall in Roundhay, which is located at the junction of Lidget Park Road and North Park Avenue. The location is just off Roundhay Park and the Ring Road. For further details put LS8 1JN into www.multimap.com
The dates booked are all Saturday afternoons (1pm – 4pm) on November 17th, January 5th and the 2nd and 23rd of February. The Hall has disabled access, kitchen facilities for hot drinks etc, toilets and storage for our targets and stands over the winter: the cost will be £5 per session. The idea of having four sessions is firstly to see how popular it is, and secondly to allow us to have three shoots to give everyone the chance to register an indoor handicap, followed by an Indoor Handicap Shoot on the last Saturday. Of course, if you happen to miss one day, or can only make 1, 2 or 3, then just come along anyway and shoot a round (a Portsmouth round of 5 dozen arrows at 20 yards will be shot).
We need around 12 people on average to make hiring the Hall pay its way (Ian Jackson has kindly offered to hire the kitchen for us from Club Funds), so it would a great help to have some indication of number as each session comes round.
If we cancel up to two weeks in advance then we incur no penalty so I suggest that people should register their interest with me (Peter Hine, 110 Bentley Lane, Leeds, LS6 4AJ, 0113 2785238, p.j.hine@leeds.ac.uk) around three weeks beforehand by either mail, phone, email). Of course this will not be an absolute commitment but I think we need to have a rough idea of whether it is worth going ahead. If you forget until the last moment, or suddenly find yourself free, then just get in contact and I’ll tell you if it is still on.
Portsmouth scoring uses the 10 zone method. A typical score sheet is shown below.
