Sprout Clout 2017
After our first “Sprout Clout” last year, we hope members will attend the 2017 Sprout Clout, Saturday December 30th 2017 at the field. Like last year there will be sprouts galore to win……bet you cant wait. There will be three distances, male, female and junior. For anyone who may not know, instead of a flag we attach a stalk of sprouts to the clout pole . And if that is not enough excitement, sprouts are randomly scattered within the circle, all for the winning. More details to follow soon

Great E Mail From 720 Competitor
E mail thread from a competitor at the recent 720 at AOER. A great credit to our club
Dear David, (Reaney)
I hope you are well and not too tired from the weekends shoot.
Just a wee note to thank you all so very much for being so amazingly wonderful to me this weekend! I cannot thank you all enough!
Could you pass my appreciation on the Mike, Aaron and the elderly gent [beard] who helped me with my arrow collecting and support! They were absolutely brilliant!! You’ve got a fantastic club and I can see it growing in the future because of all of your amazing nature!
I am so sorry I could not stay until the end and did pass my apologies on through Mike. I have a five hour journey home and work the next day so needed to get off as early as possible.
Thank you again for a fab day and will hopefully see you all again in the future.
All the very best.
Kindest Regards
