As you will have hopefully seen in the club hut, we have a new design for the club clothing. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve attached some examples for you to look at.  As you will see, it is a significant departure from the traditional green/white, but one that we feel is in keeping with modern trends and will make an impression! There has been a slight design amendment since this sample was ordered, the back now has both the archers name and Whiteleaf Bowmen on the back. Other items will follow a similar design.

We will be making a bulk club order shortly, and you can pre-order your clothing at a reduced rate (10% discount off the normal price). Once this initial bulk order has been placed, members can place their own orders in the club shop (link available once this order has been placed); however, these will not be at this preferential rate and will include postage. So now is your opportunity to grab these at their best price.

Available to purchase are:

Polo (shooting top) – £40 £36

Hoodie – £50 £45

Zip Hoodie – £55 £49.50

Track Jacket – £50 £45

Gilet – £45 £40.50

Bucket Hat – £20 £18

The pictures shown are of the Polo (shooting shirt), Track Jacket and Bucket Hat. The Hoodie/Zip Hoodie are similar to the track jacket, only a bit bigger (and with a hood), with the hoodie having no zip and the zip hoodie having full length zip. The Gilet is like the track jacket but without sleeves. All items will follow a similar design. To help you with an idea of sizes, ESK have produced a “armpit to armpit” size guide to help you compare to existing items you have that fit. If any of the juniors are too small for the 2XS (or XS), please let me know, and I will provide separate information on the “Kids” items. https://eskgear.com/pages/size-guide

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

When? – Thursday 19^th December

Where? – Lacey Green Village Hall

What Time? – 19:00 for assembly at 19:15

Distance? – About 12yds/11m

Seriousness? – It’s fun, random scoring which you will only find out after you have shot

Dress Code? – Anything, but Christmas attire is welcomed.

Cost? – None

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.

Indoor sessions will commence in October at Lacey Green village hall. As last year, we have a mix of Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Sessions (ready to shoot) are at: 1730, 1930, and, with prior notification on the Whiteleaf Indoor WhatsApp Group, at 2130. If you are not already a member of the group and would like to be added, please contact Paul with your name and phone number: treasurer@whiteleafbowmen.org.uk

For those of you who are new to indoor shooting, each session we will be shooting a Portsmouth round (5 doz @ 20yds, ends of 3 arrows).

Cost per session is: £3 adult club members, £5 visitor, £2 junior.

Please note there will be no cash payments. You will need to sign in for every session that you shoot (please make sure your full name is clearly written). You will be billed twice – once at the end of December, and again at the end of the season, electronic bank transfer is the preferred method of payment.

Why not try something new this year? We’re putting on our first Archery course of the year.
