Chairmans Report: Llandaff City Bowmen.
Finally, the club is now starting to recover from the effects of the pandemic, this resulted in members being unable to shoot due to the restrictions that were forced upon everyone regardless of their chosen sport this had the effect of the club losing around 40% of its membership as members for various reasons did not return to Archery has a hobby.
The coaching staff at the club have, since Oct last year, re-instated beginners courses, with each course lasting 6 weeks, the courses that have run so far have resulted in 70% of the participants joining the club, which in turn has enabled the club to open on extra nights to help accommodate the 25% increase in members throughout the week, with the hopes that eventually the club will be back to being open 7 days a week as we were prior to the pandemic.
After much discussion at the regular committee meetings, and with the agreement of the members at last year’s AGM, the club purchased a Ride on Lawn Mower, this decision was partly driven by the rising costs of the contractor the club had previously used to cut the grass for the outdoor range. This decision has also eliminated the need to require extra cuts on the outdoor range when competitions are due to be held as a result the mower will have paid for itself within 24 months.
This year Sept. ’23 to Dec. ’24 Llandaff City Bowmen have after a series of committee meetings taken the decision to invest in the club, this is beyond the usual investment in equipment to ensure the smooth running of the club, such as replacement foam for target bosses and paper target faces. To this end, we have applied for a grant from Sport Wales’ “Get Active” fund. Hopefully we will be awarded the grant which will mean we can purchase the new equipment early in 2025.
Improvements to the range have included upgrading the lighting to LED and improving the heating within the hall, although this still needs addressing. The club has also completed the acquisition of extra ground, this acquisition was successfully completed in Sept of this year after at least 4 years of negotiation with our current landlords. Now that this a been successfully completed, funding permitting, this can enable the club to expand to accommodate more members comfortably and if our ambition is met, also create one of the best Archery Facilities in South Wales.
We are currently investigating how we will hopefully achieve this ambition and what funding and grants are available to help us facilitate this allowing greater growth of the club.
This concludes this report.
