CATGT Dates

To ALL Bedfordshire County archers.

It seems we are going in the right direction with archery in the county. There has been a steady increase in numbers of archers attending the County Archery Get Togethers (CAGT`s) during 2024. Lets try and keep the momentum going in 2025.

If you are intending to join in the fun at any of the CAGt`s below please let the host know by sending an email.

Sept 13th CAGT
Judge available. Club and organiser needed.

Note.
CAGT`s. We will be shooting a short, age/ability appropriate round under the direction of Brian Dunlop and Pat Kerrigan.

The format of the event will be a short round and then time afterwards to talk to other archers and the Team Managers about any archery help/advice you would like going forward. If time permits there will be a H2H which proved to be very popular in the past, this is not compulsory.

For those of you who haven`t experienced shooting a competition this is for you, and for those of you who are experienced we`re hoping you’ll be willing and able to help any newcomers. If you have anything specific you would like to work on or want help with this is an ideal opportunity, in particular for the parents of juniors to perhaps unravel some of the mysteries.

If there are any coaches who would like to attend please let us know, similarly any archers who feel they could help those needing a hand would be more than welcome to attend. You may even get a biscuit or two.

Hi All
Please would you circulate this email to your club secretaries.
Hello everyone.
Last year I ran the postal (email) competition The Morecambe Bay Masters. It was a summer shoot for archers aged 65 and over. This year the competition will be running again and I would be grateful if you would pass on the details to any archers in your club that fit the entry requirements.
Attached is the entry form and format of the competition. Last year we had 140 archers take part and so far this year there are archers from Southampton to Glasgow already signed up to the free and fun competition.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at morecambebaymasters@gmail.com or you can find the competition on Facebook by searching for Morecambe Bay Masters.
Thanks for your time.
Stuart Scott.

CAGT Reminder

Following the success and positive comments from our previous sessions, we will be holding another informal get together at the end of November.

You are invited to join us for an Open morning on Saturday the 30th November. This will be indoors at the Alameda Sports Hall, Woburn St, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, MK45 2HX

what3words location – binders.scorched.unions. From 9.30am till 12.30pm.

There is no charge, BCAA will be providing the session for county archers, past, present and future to meet other archers from within the county and experience shooting under tournament conditions. All of which is designed to get you ready for when you shoot for the county.

We will be shooting a short round at 20 yards under the direction of Mr Brian Dunlop, if you feel that 20 yards is a bit beyond you at this stage in your archery career, let us know and we will provide shorter bosses. There will be scoring during the round, not specifically to record your score but more to go through the procedure of scoring with yourselves and for the juniors, your parent guardian, within a relaxed atmosphere amongst like minded individuals

For those of you who haven’t experienced shooting a competition this is for you, and for those of you who are experienced we’re hoping you’ll be willing and able to help any newcomers. If you have anything specific you would like to work on or want help with, this is an ideal opportunity, in particular for the parents of the juniors to unravel some of the mysteries.

We have invited experienced archers and coaches to attend. These will cover most bow types, in particular the Recurve and Compound, if you have anything specific you would like us to cover please let us know in good time. We will do our best to meet your request.

If you have a coach, they are more than welcome to attend. For the juniors we would ask that your parents or guardians are in attendance for the duration of the session.

There is no seating in the hall so if you need one please bring a chair that’s suitable for use in a sports hall and don’t forget to bring a drink

Please let us know if you will attending, email to Terry, topcat2@talk21.com or mobile to Suzi 07919 137065 similarly if you have anything specific you need to work on please advise us as soon as possible.

County postal championship WA900 Results

Greetings !
Please find attached the preliminary results for the County postal championship WA900. The scores will also be used, where possible, for an inter-county 3-way competition with Bucks and Northants. Suzi and Terry will take over for that part I hope.
Please check that I have correctly recorded your club’s archers’ scores. I may have the age group as “senior” when it may be “50+”.
For some reason we didn’t record “hits”, never mind.
What is pleasing is that 42 archers got involved. To those who took part, “thank you” and do now consider shooting for your County again when the requests go out.
Awards will be presented at the AGM in November.
Take care and enjoy the remainder of the outdoor season.
Best wishes
Mike
