The British Blind Sport National Indoor Archery Championships took place at the National Sports Centre in Lilleshall. This year Sway Bowmenâ€™s Jane Magner, a VI (visually impaired) archer took part. Jane, who only took up archery in April 2009 when she attended the beginners course at Sway Bowmen and has only just completed her first season indoors, shot a double Portsmouth round (10 dozen arrows at 18m on a 60cm target) on the Saturday with a total score of 825, which gave her the first place medal for her sight category. She also jointly won the David Christie Memorial Trophy (for most improved handicap) with her morning Portsmouth round of 434. Jane also shot a Worcester round (6 dozen arrows at 18m on a special black/white 40cm target) on the Sunday morning, scoring a very respectable 194. For more information about sport for the visually impaired see the BBS website.

The club received some good news today, our planning application for an additional storage container at the field has been approved . Geoff Walker represented the club at the planning meeting and our case was supported by local councillors. The approval was given provided that we paint the container green on all sides and improve the shrub barrier to hide it from the road. A big thank you to Geoff. We also have to thank Geoff for providing two new target stands for the permanent butts. These will be commissioned in the next week or two.
