Happy Christmas and a Merry 2018 from all at Woking AC!
Please see the following from Archery GB…
WE HAVE LAUNCHED A NEW PROGRAMME OF WORKSHOPS TO SUPPORT ARCHERS AND COACHES TO CONTINUE THEIR LEARNING.
Each workshop will be delivered by some of the best national and international coaches in their field, and offer all archers and coaches the opportunity to stay up to date with current practice. The one and two-day events are delivered in friendly and supportive environments at local clubs across the UK, and are welcoming to all archers and coaches to attend, regardless of experience. If you have suggestions for other workshop topics, please let us know! The workshop topics will include:
Dates for workshops taking place in 2018 will be announced soon. For further details about each workshop and bookings please visit www.archerygb.org/coach.
To host an event, we are looking for clubs whose facilities we can hire either for a day or a weekend from 9am-5pm. The venue should be a comfortable, well maintained, friendly place with access to an indoor range, toilets, parking, disabled access, and a suitable space where people can sit down as a group for learning purposes, and be uninterrupted. The venue should be large enough to host 10-25 people attending a workshop. We are able to pay the club a venue hire fee. If you would like to host a workshop and have a venue in mind please contact coaching@archerygb.org with an idea of possible dates.
WE HAVE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED OUR COACHING PLAN FOR ARCHERY (2017-21).
We strongly believe that great coaches are essential pillars of support that enable people to fully experience enjoyment, progression and achievement in archery. That’s why we are committed to investing in coaching. The aim of the Coaching Plan for Archery (2017-21) is to provide coaching that is visible and vibrant in all places where archery happens.
It is our intention that by 2021 we will have strengthened the coaching system so that it develops people who are skilled at providing motivational coaching experiences, using a British framework. More people, particularly in their first two years in the sport, will have regular access to good quality coaching. The value of coaching and what it takes for it to thrive will be understood in more places. Data and insight will also be more effectively used to demonstrate the impact of coaching and inform our decision making.

Christmas shooting fun starts with our annual Christmas shoot on Sunday 17th December, so come along in your Christmas hats and jumpers and enjoy a great fun shoot with festive targets followed by mulled wine, minced pies and sausage rolls.
Then on Christmas Eve (Sunday 10am club shoot) what better round to shoot than a St Nicolas?! Four dozen arrows at 40yds followed by three dozen arrows at 30yds, it’s a great excuse to put off those last minute prep…arations that little bit longer…?
Finally, we’ve a New Year’s Double as on New Year’s Eve (Sunday 10am club shoot) we are running our usual Club Nationals but, to help work off any excesses from the night before (!), we’re also running it again on New Year’s Day (but with a slight more kindly 11am start time!).
This years Target Archery Rankings have now been released and finalised. Some great results for Woking Archers.

Many thanks to:
Mark Preston, Candy Schofield, Helen, Alan and Alex Ruffle, Angus Wilson, Keith Dumbleton, Susan Bayley, Tom and Lorraine Ansell, David Woolner, David Kerven, Peter and Brenda Champion and Roy Watts
Angus even gave his truck a bit of a clean :-), well a blow off with the leaf blower and rinse. Wildlife was relocated, sparks flew and fun was had by all even though it was a little damp.
Great job everyone.
