Here you will find all the news from Kenwith
Shoot NewsAugust 08The KK shoot last weekend went off without a hitch and the weather was OK, by that I mean we didn't have any rain, the wind was the usual Kenwith breeze. In a close fought battle Kenwith retained the KK trophy for the third year. The round that we shot was the Brazil, being the first time that Kyrton had done this round I thought they shot very well, we then added all the handicaps and the scores were; Kenwith 8177- Kyrton 8121. Our team consisted of Elaine and myself in the barebow, Simon and Mike P in the longbow and Steve and Paulette in the recurve, well done to them, also thanks to all the other members who shot but didn't make the team, Photos soon on the photo page, thanks to Paulette....Cya.
Committee NewsAugust 08You may have seen a lot of the members stood about the carpark pointing fingers, the good news is the committee have agreed to fund a new extension to the pavillion on the right hand side as you look at it, onto the left hand side there will be an edition of a 'bus shelter' type of arrangement which will cover the frostbite line. Also a big discussion at the meeting was if we could afford to shoot on two nights indoors, with the extra costs and not alot of members joining from the last beginners course, if you have any feelings on this subject please speak to a member of the committee....Cya
Shoot NewsAugust 08Download the results sheet from the tournment page and you will see what a good day that was had by all who took part in the Kenwith Open, some good perfomances from our own archers including two new county records in the National for the two barebow archers, go on have a look.
Brazil ShootMay 08With downpours predicted it was looking as if we might have to call off the Brazil shoot, but, it was clear on the day with a light wind, and as you know, a light wind on the Kenwith field is about gale force 20, never mind the archers that turned up had a great day, Penny came with her now famous Scones and the annual debate insued, jam and cream or cream and jam.........deffo on the jam and then cream.....Elain also brought a couple of fantastic quiches and Paulette brought some apple pie and cream......now after lunch the archery wasn't all that great but I'm not surprised after all that. The Roy Smale speed shoot was good, 6 arrows in a time limit of 40 seconds.........or in Elaines case the first arrow in the flag on top of the boss and the rest of the time rolling about on the floor laughing, shame more of the club didn't turn up, but for those who did, well done!!
Good Results at Grand dayMay 08Grand Day came and went and following on in tradition of Kenwith Barebow Champions, Dave Parkin became the Mens champ and Elain McIntosh went away with the Ladies Champ trophy, well done you two good shooting.In the afternoon, Eileen nearly pulled off a personal best and acheived second place in the Longbow......
Handy hints in the recurve departmentApril 08I found this on the internet so I thought I would pass it on, it's the most I have seen written on the recurve, worth a look even if you think you know it all........ 
Good Results at the DCAS Indoor ChampsMarch 08A few Kenwith archers took the trip to Plymouth for the DCAS indoor champs, Elaine McIntosh came away with the Gold in the ladies barebow, closely followed by Penny Bury who claimed silver, archer of the day must go to Simon Chapman who in his first year, came fifth in the Gents longbow, well done everybody.
Beginners Course Date SetJan 08Terry has set the date for this years beginners course, April 30th, there will be only one course this year, the problem in previous years is that after the course has finished the novices still need to be looked after, with two courses a year that means most of the coaches lose out on alot of outdoor shooting if members could be at the course to help out that would be great.
Archer of the YearJan 08As in previous years the club has voted and this years winners are, for the seniors, Penny Bury, Penny has shot well all year with much improving scores and has become our top lady barebow archer. For the juniors the winner was Jay Oakley, Jay has also shot well and with the coaching Jay has recieved from his Dad he has gone on to shoot well throughout the country. Well done to you both.
