Bowmen of Adel 60th
Anniversary
This year marks sixty years since our club was set
up at
Adel, in Leeds. In that time, we have
had
internationals, national champions, and all levels of archer right down
to
those who shoot once and are never seen again. We know of former
members in all
corners of the country.
In October, as close as we can get to the date of the
first recorded meeting (5th October), we are planning to have a
celebratory dinner,
and we
would be delighted to welcome back any alumni of the club. If you are a
former member
and you would like to be on our mailing list for this and other events
this
year, or if you would simply like to share your memories of the club,
please
could you drop a line to our Secretary (Nick Beeson, 5, Alexandra Place,
Ilkley, W. Yorkshire. LS29 9ES).
If
you have any views on how the club should celebrate its 60th - share
them on the club forum

ANNIVERSARY NEWS
The sub-committee has decided to reward all members who participate in
club events and team with a commemorative quiver tag. All have-a-go
helpers and members of teams can claim a tag from DOC.
The commemorative badge and key fob will be handed to members at club
events to all those who attend.
The Committee has now set up a sub-group to plan events for our golden
anniversary.
The
sub
committee, consisting of Chris Furminger, Guy Sansby, Som De Silva and
David
O’Carroll, has been formed and they will be taking the events planning
and
organisation forward.
As
these
events are for everyone in the club, to help gauge the attendance, we
have prepared a small questionnaire to collect your responses to enable
us
to
determine the best suited approach. This will be sent out to members
and
can be obtained below. Replies are needed by 14th March
2008.Obviously if you are regularly attending the
club, dropping them in by hand is fine.
Other
ideas
which are being discussed are:
- special
trophies for achievements, or
recognition of club records;
-
extra/revised shoots through the
year in
celebration;
- striking
of a commemorative medal;
- new
versions of the club logo for
clothing and a
special clothing logo for the 60th Anniversary.
Any
other
ideas will be posted on the website or if you have any ideas for
events/ commemoration
ideas, please add these into the questionnaire.
The 60th anniversary club
colours are a scarlet top and dark grey trousers. Club members can also
wear green and white at tournaments. For the 2008 season we have
arranged for clothing to be supplied with the 60th Anniversary logo.
We have a new clothing supplier for the club and you can
now order polo shirts in green, white or red direct from ARCO.
