  •  Friday 1st April – first outdoor Friday
  •  Saturday 2nd April 2pm – first outdoor Saturday
  • Sunday 3rd April – first outdoor Sunday
  • Friday 22nd April – Good Friday Bank Holiday – probably no shooting - tbc

    Times for outdoor shooting are as follows:

 

    Thursday and Friday evenings 6.30 until dark

    Saturday afternoon 2 - 4.45pm

    Sundays until further notice 2 - 4.45pm (When the footballers finish outside Sunday's will change back to 10 -1pm but I will notify everyone when I know)

 

     PLEASE NOTE THAT ON AFTERNOON SESSIONS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF THE CARPARK AND GROUNDS BEFORE 5PM - IF ANYONE IS STILL ON SITE AFTER 5PM WE WILL BE CHARGED AN EXTRA FEE FOR CLOSING UP LATE, AND BY NECESSITY THAT FEE WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE MEMBER/S RESPONSIBLE.

 

     It is important that all members help to set up and take down the field to maximise shooting times for everyone, these guidelines enable everyone to be able to start setting up the field - experienced or not.

08.10.2010 Indoor Shooting Times
Please read the below regarding the new Indoor Season,
 
  • Friday evening sessions (7-9pm) are primarily for Beginner courses, Juniors and those with tuning or equipment issues

   

  • Saturday afternoon (2-4pm) is for all members who have passed their Beginners course, and is primarily a practice session although it should be possible to shoot a Bray l or Bray ll round. Bray l is 2 ½ dozen arrows at 20yds on a 40cm face, and Bray ll is 2 ½ dozen arrows at 20 yds on a 60cm face – it should be possible to shoot this alongside other members who are just practising

 

  • Sunday morning (10am – 1pm) is open to all members who have passed their beginners course and wish to shoot a full round – everyone is encouraged to shoot a round when possible for their own development.

    Rounds that are being shot on a Sunday can be practised on Saturday afternoons, but there is probably not time to shoot a full round on a Saturday – Please bear in mind that we do need to stick to the times we pay for which are shown above. Occasionally we may be able to get in to the hall to set up early but this is not guaranteed and should not be taken for granted

01.04.2010 Outdoor Season Information
Outdoor shooting will commence on the following dates and times

Thursday 1st April and onwards - 6-9pm or when too dark
Friday 2nd April and onwards - 6-9pm or when too dark
Saturday 3rd April and onwards - 2-4.45pm (latest)

Sunday 11th April until mid May (dates tbc) - 2-4.45pm (latest)
Sunday Mid May (dates tbc) onwards - 10am -1pm

Please note that when shooting afternoon sessions we must be clear of the premises by 5pm latest, not just stopped shooting and off the field. If we are not clear of the car park by 5pm we will be charged extra by the Manor for out of hours closure - if this should happen the extra charge will be passed on to the archers responsible and not born by the club. 

Any changes to the above dates or times will be notified as soon as I am aware of them. 
Please remember that you can only shoot if there are a minimum of two archers on the field at any time. 
Please also remember that we cannot start shooting on Sunday afternoons before 2pm as Rushden & Diamonds will be on the field until that time, however it is possible to arrive earlier for the other sessions as long as you are prepared to accept that other archers may arrive after the field has been set up - this will be your choice.
Beginners courses will still be running on Friday evenings so please bear in mind that this may affect the pace of shooting during these sessions, and be patient - we were all 
beginners once.
