SCAS League

The SCAS league this month saw three members get into the Hampshire team, which is chosen from the top eight from those who entered scores from across the county.

• Richard came 1st in the gents recurve (583)
  
• Steve came 7th (572)
  
• Jodie came 1st in the Junior recurve section (573)
  

We had some good results this year in the January challenge - well done all those that put a score in.

Five members shot at the Battle of Basing this weekend, and achieved some good results:

They shot a double round - a WA25 followed by a WA18.

Recurve

• Richard came 5th with a score of 1098
• Chris came 36th with a score of 943
• Matt came 44th with a score of 827
• Jodie came 1st (U16 ladies) with a score of 991

Many thanks to all those that came to the Skittles evening this week.  I think we largely proved that skill with a bow does not translate to an ability to hit skittles.

Well done to the wining team, and thanks to Jo for (once again) organising us!

Although the event was not specifically for charity, we had a bit of surplus and so have added this, £24 to the air ambulance fund that we are building.

Thanks to all members that came to our first (and hopefully not last) quiz night.

Teams competed on rounds: General Knowledge, Food, Archery, Music, Pictures and DingBats. Non archers were pleased when the Archery round consisted of questions like "Where was Norman Stanley Fletcher incarcerated", rather than the assumed impossible archery questions. Although the odd dingbat archery question was thrown in, such as "2 L on a R B".

Thanks to Jo, Mark, Susie, Alex, Steve for all their help setting up and producing food for the evening.

Winning team was "Them lot over there" - (the Steve Baker clan + Gary Stevens)

We made a profit of £65 on the evening, which will go towards our collection for the Hampshire Air Ambulan...
