**Llandaff City Bowmen Chairmans Report April 2025**
This year has been a very busy and productive year for the club’s and it’s committee members.
At last year’s AGM, it was unanimously agreed to invest in a new ride-on mower to take over the grass cutting by contractor as this was getting too costly at £1,248 p.a. This was done at a cost of £3,654.The purchase of the mower will pay for itself in just under three years.
Mowing of the shooting field is coordinated through a rota of club members. As is common in many organizations, grounds maintenance depends on a small group of committed individuals who volunteer their time to ensure the club and its facilities are properly maintained.
The tournament officer arranged 9 club shoots:
Santa Shoot in December 2024 (Indoors)
Portsmouth Shoot March 2025 (Indoors)
WA 18 April 2025 (indoors)
WA 1440 July 2025 (Outdoors)
WA720 August 2025 (Outdoors)
Planned for the rest of the year and next year are:
Vegas Round November 2025 (Indoors)
Santa Shoot December 2025 (Indoors)
Portsmouth Round February 2026 (Indoors)
WA 18 March 2026 (Indoors)
The coaching team have also had a very busy year with beginners’ courses running from Oct ‘24 – April ’25. The club has also had two members becoming Archery GB Session Coaches.
The beginner’s courses are scheduled to resume in October and will continue through April of the following year. This initiative aims to further enhance club membership.
The coaches have provided personalised one-to-one beginner improver courses to help newcomers progress in archery. As a club, we make every effort to support individuals whenever the coaches’ time and commitments permit.
In late 2024, the club secured the lease for the former St Fagans Tennis Club. This acquisition will, pending adequate funding, facilitate the expansion and development of a unique archery shooting range in Wales. The new facility will enable club members to shoot distances of up to 50 meters, with potential for extension to 70 meters depending on the final layout.
This is a long-term plan for the club.
The club has also invested in new equipment for the beginner’s courses, this is 12 new bows and quivers both left and right handed, also a selection of new arrows this was facilitated with grants from Sports Wales.
Our club is gradually regaining its membership numbers, nearly reaching pre-covid levels. Although this recovery has been slower than we expected, it's encouraging to see membership increasing again.
This concludes the chairman’s report.
