At our Saturday shoot on December 28th Stan was presented with the trophy for the most improved archer for the year 2024. Well deserved Stan!
Our indoor shooting recommences on Tuesday 7th January 2025 in the Strode College Sports Hall starting at 6.00pm
At our first shoot of the year on Saturday, 4th January 2025, we had a surprise visit from Mario! The visit was to celebrate the birthday of out youngest member, Ivan, who has reached his last single figure age of 9. Happy birthday Ivan and we hope you have very many more happy years enjoying archery!
Unfortunately, for music copyright reasons, we cannot show the video made of the event but the pictures below give a flavour of what is believed to be the first ever visit of Mario to Street.
On Tuesday 9th. January, 2024 Robin Hood's spirit entered the Shoot as Malcolm ruined two arrows with his accuracy on the compound bow!
3D Added to Range! We have now added 3D animals to our Range to provide added interest to developing our shooting skills. They are available on our Saturday morning outdoor Shoots.
A Club First?
On Saturday 18th March Stan shot (with his first six arrows on the day!) a perfect score of 60! We believe this to be the first perfect golden end for the Club, unless anyone knows any diferent?
Anyway, heartiest congratulations to Stan. Our current version of Haarland probably needs to watch out!
He responded last night (Tuesday 21st March) by scoring yet another golden end, and with 58 points only just missed out on equalling Stan's effort! Picture below.
HOT DRINKS We are continuing having a break during the Saturday morning shoots for a hot drink and chat - very welcome in the present frosty weather!. Remember to bring, if possible, your own mug and teaspoon. Coffee, tea, sugar, milk and hot water will be provided.
VENUE

Driving along Church Road and passing the Parish Church on your left and the College and Strode Theatre on your right the road turns to the left. Before the mini-roundabout the car park entrance is on your right. Drive through the car park which narrows and then widens out you will find the Sports Centre straight ahead.
