Ownership of the field that we shoot in has now been transferred to the Club.

The ground that we shoot on came up for sale just over three years ago and the Club made a decision that we should try and raise the funds to buy it. We realised that this might take some time so a couple of club members kindly offered to purchase the field and become our landlords until such time that the Club could purchase it from them. With our fund raising efforts together with a mortgage we were able to transfer the ownership last week.

A big thank you to the club members who funded the initial purchase and made this possible.

We are now one of the very few archery clubs with their own range.

The May draw was held at the field yesterday before the Line Cutter Trophy was shot. Olwen Lee drew the balls.

GOLD (£25) ………….. Sean Thompson (12)

RED (£15) ……………. Lynn Lamb (4)

BLUE(£10)…………… Dianne Watts (3)

Well done to you all.

On Sunday 5^th May, Sway Bowmen archer Charlotte Warne was selected to shoot in the Hampshire Archery team against Sussex.  Shooting Barebow in a Hereford Round (6 dozen at 80 yards, 4 dozen at 60 yards and 2 dozen at 50 yards) Charlotte scored 721 – her first Master Bowman score with less than a year of shooting – and just 31 points shy of a Grand Master Bowman score. Well done Charlotte - a fantastic achievement in such a short amount of time.
