December has arrived and it’s back, the Whiteleaf Bowmen Christmas Indoor Fun Shoot and get together.

Every club member is invited to the indoor fun shoot (details above). The evening will consist of some short-range shooting at mystery target faces with mystery scoring, meaning that anybody could win a chocolate prize. There will also be some savoury snacks and cakes and a quiz to test the brain cells.
Shooting is not compulsory as there will be seating behind the shooting line so come along and meet other members of the club.
Tea and coffee will be available but please bring your own cup/mug and any other drink you would like.
Hopefully see you there.

Whiteleaf Bowmen Club Champs Results – 8th Sep 2024
Firstly, many thanks for entering the Whiteleaf Club Championships. We had 21 entries, with 19 archers shooting, which is slightly down from last year’s entries. However, I’m sure you will all agree that it was an enjoyable day, and the weather held out for us (just).
Attached are the results from the day; if there are any club records, John will let you know. Congratulations to all of the medal winners and those of you who received some of the club silverware. Also, to Rose for achieving her 40y (Blue) 252 award.
I want to express my gratitude to Katherine and Elijah for their invaluable assistance with preparing the bacon rolls, looking after the cake and refreshment table, and general assistance throughout the day. Their help was truly appreciated.
Neill, Tournament Organiser
Toria Greening
Toria had been member of Whiteleaf Bowmen for almost 45 years. During that time she had been Club and County Champions, not to mention medallists at the National Indoor Championship, The Grand National Archery Meeting and The Southern Counties Archery Meetings and regularly shot for Buckinghamshire.
At the club she had held all the major offices including Chairman when the club was forced to moved from “The Rose and Crown” at Saunderton in 2003. Fortune was with us when we found our present home at Walter’s Ash. In the early 1990’s she was made Honorary Vice President and Life member to reward her for her endeavours for the club.
Toria was a regular at Beginners classes, Fun Shoots and Work Parties where she was famed for her Rock Cakes at the rest intervals.
Toria’s son Paul came down from Coventry to plant an ornamental cherry tree at the far end of the field along the bottom fence, with a plaque commemorating both Toria and Ken Greening. Jan O’Keefe, Francis Gerrard, Susan and Barry Tutty, and Tony White were there from the club.
