Hi Everyone!

Here’s an overview of what we’ve got on for August.  First up, despite many crossed fingers the worsening Covid situation has put a stop to any chance of lessened restrictions or Open Days, so we’re still very much in the age of Social Distancing & 20 member limits at our events.

In the early days of Covid we were uncertain about how and when we’d be getting back to normal, so the club’s calendar on both Facebook and the website was left untouched so we could jump back into it.  Now that it’s clear that the restrictions will be lifted in a slow and staged manner, we’ve thinned the calendar out to the events we’ll be able to run.  If things improve promptly further additions may be forthcoming, but for now the events on the calendar are as set in stone as they can be, so please reserve some dates for shooting!

Sunday August 2nd is a Working Bee.  There’s the usual maintenance to be tackled and more work to be done on the new start line structure – so if you’re free please head down and lend a hand.  Working Bees begin at 8am, and it needn’t be said that Covid protocols will be in place.  This means food and drink is still BYO.

Sunday the 9th and Sunday the 23rd are both club shoots.  Booking are required for these events due to the attendance limits.  If you know you’re free on those days, book in now with Merv on 0466 289 647.  BYO food and drink, social distancing, yada yada…

A final reminder that shooting requires you to be financial (so you are insured).  You can pay in cash at the shoot or do a Direct Deposit.  Membership fees are $85 for adults, $40 for Juniors and $170 for families.  Direct deposit funds to Account Name ‘Hastings Valley Archery Club’, BSB 637-000, Account Number 713326135.   If you’re paying by direct deposit, please put your name as the reference for the sake of our accountant’s sanity!

Keep an eye out on Facebook for event reminders and recaps.  See everyone there!
