Congratulations to Simon Nelmes who passed his regional Judge's assessment yesterday (08/04/2018) and is now able to run shoots up to a WA 1440. Simon is the only judge currently in Shropshire and this grade is throughly deserved.

Congratulations also to Paul Nelmes, who on the same day passed his Level 2 coaching.

If anyone is intersted in becoming a Judge, please contact Simon who will explain the process.

On Saturday 17th March, Sam Dixon, Neil Clarke and James Beckett set a new world record of 31 hours continuous shooting to raise money for Sport Relief at the Bowbrook Archery clubhouse near Withington.

During the time between Friday morning and Saturday afternoon they shot a combined total of 4,797arrows, scored 35,411 points between them and walked over 12 miles apiece between the shooting line and the targets

Club chairman Sam said 'We are proud of what we've achieved but we could not have done it without the support of the club members.'

Their efforts, combined with other activities at the club's open day, have raised over £750 for Sport Relief, with more money still coming in.

Huge congratulations to Penny Healey, a member of Bowbrook Archers, SAS, and WMAS, who, at the age of twelve, has won GOLD in the Recurve Youth Girls category. Fifteen points clear of the runner up, she won GB's first Gold of the event in Nimes, France.

Well done, Penny.
