The charity was : I previously an unincorporated association but changed its legal form to a • , SCIO. The assets of the unincorporated association were transferred to • the SCIO on the 01 April 2020. It is governed by a written constitution. **Trustee recruitment and appointment** , All the Trustees are elected annually by the membership at the Annual General Meeting. • All the trustees are volunteers. Individual trustees will head sub committees when required, to carry out various tasks. **Objectives and activities** • We have now purchased a shooting field at Craig, Montrose (Feb 2025) which we have been working on purchasing for over 30 years, this is our permanent outdoor venue (shooting field) for the club. Now we have secured a permanent outdoor shooting facility, we will now be able to improve with facilities for club members - Club House, Toilet, shelters for shooting and gear storage. This will also be used as a venue for hosting competitions. The venue will enable the club to maintain and increase its members, as they will be able to shoot whenever they have time. We will now work towards adding facilities (toilets and club house). Enabling archers and parents to remain at the field with some comforts for as long as they require. It also means that with unlimited time, the more experienced archers have additional time to help progress newer members. Now we have secured the field, one of our objectives is to encourage willing members to become coaches for the club, to help give the opportunity for archers to follow in footsteps of members that have represented Scotland, and Great Britain, both Senior and Junior, up to Olympic and Commonwealth levels. Northern area squads and coaches have been able to utilise our facilities for training. Due to the levels of expertise in the club, we have, and would continue to offer archers from around Scotland and the UK the opportunity of visiting to help with raising their attainment. We were once again able to run a come and try event at the 'Scone game fair' and run a beginners course. ## **Membership** With the governing body of archery renewing memberships every September, renewal of membership to the club was 58 adults and 3 juniors this year. Docusign Envelope ID: EF7C46CF-AF90-4C7E-8978-E6F106F55417 - ----- ------ **Charitable purposes** The organisation's purposes are to advance the participation in the sport of Archery by providing access to facilities by the local community by: we - , Provide 'Come and Try' (Tasters) To individuals and local organisations. A 6 session beginner's course for those interested in trying the sport of archery. Relevant coaching and training for individuals with an interest in Archery, for general improvement and for competition. Encouraging an interest and participation in Archery among younger people; Promoting an interest and participation in Archery among people with disabilities. Boosting a general awareness of archery in Angus and throughout Scotland. We have a great depth of technical knowledge in the club which is available in supporting archers who request help from us throughout Scotland and UK. - � . - **Summary of the main activities** ; Shooting at the sports centre on Saturday mornings continued at the **in relation to these objects** beginning of the year, up until May, and restarted in September. With additional practice sessions at the indoor venue at 'BoortsMalt' Hillside being well attended, mainly on Mondays and Wednesdays, with the venue 1 continuing to be booked 'on line' so that members could meet when range : supervisors were in attendance, this system continued to be used . throughout the year for both the Hillside and Craigo shooting venues , augmented by 'Whatsapp'. From May Craigo was utilised fully for the 1 outdoor season, with the Hillside facility used for inclement weather, Members mainly met in the evenings and weekends, although our retired members met on Friday mornings for 'Friday Frolics' shooting with traditional bows. We ran a very successful beginners course with most of those attending the course signing up to the club. The club has continued to run the School archery club for Montrose Academy that continued to be very popular with the pupils. We ran a come 1 and try event at the scone game fair over 3 days in July which brought in many people to have a go at shooting. ## **APPENDIX 1** **:'Achievements and performance** • Docusign Envelope ID: EF7C46CF-AF90-4C7E-8978-E6F106F55417 **Summary of the main achievements of** During the year we have held our usual club competitions, the March indoor **the charity during the financial period** championships was well attended, with awards at all levels.
