Hello
All,
Here is
the latest news about your club as of our last Board meeting Monday
night, May 29, 2006.
Sad News:
We are
very sorry to announce the passing of one of the most famous
Canadian Archers, Mr. Don Lovo died Monday May 29th. Don served in
the very highest offices of the International Archery Federation,
was known as the father of archery judging, a World Team member,
Archery Businessman, Judge, Coach, Administrator and someone always
willing to help! He was a member of our club since moving to BC from
Calgary in the 80s, he made many contributions to the club including
serving on our World Championship Committee in 1997! He made a
significant contribution to archery throughout the world and will be
sadly missed. Our hearts go out to his wife Lois and family!
Field Course:
Good
work to all those who are contributing to the great field course and
bag course, including the wheelchair accessibility!! It will all do
our club proud at our next 3D shoot, June 10 & 11!
Ranges Closed June 10/11:
Because
of the large 3D on the 10th and 11th, the entire course will be
closed except for those shooting the 3D tournament.
Congratulations Tracy:
Congratulations to our long time member and tournament chair, Tracy
Klat on her wedding June 10!
Bow cases:
You are
asked to always carry your bow and arrows inside cases when
travelling to and from the range. Bows and arrow in the open cause
too much concern to the public. The average person does not know how
safe an unstrung bow is, so it is better that they don't know what
you are carrying in the case!
BC Games
tryouts:
June 4 at 9am
practice, 10am score cost $15, while this is a qualifying
tournament for the BC Games, all are welcome, it is a great
opportunity to shoot a Canadian 900 Round under tournament
conditions! See you there!
JOP
Assistants:
We still need all
the help we can get with JOP coaching, please come out and help, all
that is required is a desire to assist, the rest will come along.
Once you have coached a while you can attend a Coaching Course and
learn some more techniques.
Club
Website:
Although
transparent, we have moved our webspace to our own server, all the
pictures and other features will be back soon!

Salmon
Fund Raiser:
We still have some
of the specially packaged Victoria Bowmen smoked salmon, it is all
vacuum sealed and make great gifts!! While they last $5.00 - Contact
our PR director or ask one of the Board members out at the range,
they are in the container now.
So, that's it for
now! Hope to see you out at the range soon!
Cheers
Al Wills,
Secretary,
The Victoria
Bowmen
