Charity number 1193500 4 January 2026 I am pleased to be able to report that we have slightly more members than last year. We now have 76 members, 10 of which are under 21 and 11 are disabled. The beginners’ courses this year have all been oversubscribed but we have been able to accommodate all candidates by increasing the number of coaches involved. A big thank you is owed to the coaches in helping to push the club forward. We have been in residence in our new facility for two years and, despite some teething troubles, it is proving a draw for archers from other clubs. It has been hired the Lancashire elite squad for training purposes and by international coaches for one-to-one coaching. Some of our archers have shot for the county and been successful in local tournaments. In doing so they provided inspiration for our up and coming members. Apart from some Saturday mornings, Wednesday evenings in summer and Friday evenings, the club is open to members every day and is being used more often during the day as well as at the club nights. We are now into our second indoor season at Clayton Leisure Centre on Friday nights in the indoor season. This provides a bigger venue so that we can hold indoor handicap shoots. We implement the “252” scheme a year ago to encourage new archers to challenge themselves to reach new heights of achievement. This has proved very successful and many distance badges have been given out to improving archers. The regular handicap shoots allow archers of all abilities to compete on a level playing field. The coaching evenings, introduced by our head coach last year, for intermediate archers have enabled many archers to learn more about equipment, drills and skills, more advanced techniques , etc. These have proved successful and thanks to our head coach Josh Green for setting up and running these. Archery GB changed the way that fees are paid to them last year. This has made more work for the secretary, Amanda Clark, and treasurer, Harlie Mason. Thank you both for guiding us through this difficulty. Martin Shaw and Eddie Marsden are retiring from their roles as tournament organiser and equipment manager respectively. I would like to thank them for their efforts. Also a big thanks must go to Harlie for seeing the club through difficulties we have overcome with both utility companies (electricity and water). The latter being caused by a leak underground which, despite being fixed early in the year resulted in a “debate” with the water supplier only resolved last month. I look forward to another successful year. I am retiring from the post of chairman this year and hoping to take up other duties within the club. Thank you all for your support over the years.
