Victoria Bowmen & JOP Newsletter - June 2007
Here is the latest Victoria Bowmen News, as of our last Board Meeting June 18th .
3D Rep working the floods Our 3D rep, Doug Bell is working the flood watch in Chilliwack! We’re hoping he has little to do!
Butts As discussed, in the last newsletter, it is time to rebuild the butts on the 900 range and clean up the mess from the blow over. Please mark Thursday evening July the 5th on your calendar, 6:00PM – it is important that we get as many out for this as possible. There will be a lot of work, but not really hard work. Only your hands required.
Archery Flea Market Back for its 2nd year, the annual VB Archery Garage Sale/ Flea Market, clean out your basement/Garage and bring out all those old archery treasures that you don’t use any more and get some cash for them. July 14th, 2007 starting at 0900 (9 AM).
World Championships 10 year reunion Hard to believe, but it’s been 10 years since the club hosted the XXXIX World Archery Championships, we would like to have a reunion in the fall, are you interested, have some ideas? Please contact Al (474-4909).
The new Job Jar We have started a new page on the website called the ‘Job Jar’, it is a repository of things that need to be done at the club, a place where you can see where you can help out! Please keep and eye on it for work parties large or small and other ways you can help out in your own time. http://victoriabowmen.com/job_jar.htm

New Victoria Bowmen Pin Design The club wants to update its pin, we are looking to make a minor change to make the new pin distinctive from the older ones. We still want to keep our ‘Thunderbird’ logo. So, if you know of someone with some design ideas, please have them contact the secretary.
Shooting Times: Club shooting nights are now Wednesdays from around 6:30 PM until dark, lessons are Tuesday nights. JOP is Saturday Mornings 10 – 12.
If you are interested in trying 3D or Field shooting come to the outdoor range early Saturday mornings or early Wednesday evenings. If you are not familiar with the trails you should ask an experienced archer if you may join them - most will be happy to have you along.
Remember that the outdoor range is open all year round so you can come and practice anytime. You’ll need your membership card for the gate, which you should wear while you are on the range.
Beginner's Lessons If you or someone you know has never shot before but would like to learn archery, George Trattner's beginner lessons are great opportunity to do so. A portion of registration fees goes toward club membership. The next series will begins soon. These lessons seem to be very popular and effective! Contact George for details.
Helena Myllyniemi is teaching classes for younger children at the Commonwealth pool and George Pearkes arena. Contact her for details 592-0673.
Garbage and Clean Up You are again reminded that the there is no garbage collection at the range, please take any garbage you may have out with you. Please also pick up any you may find lying about.
Courses A Coaching Course is scheduled for October 20 – 21, cost is $90, part of which the club will reimburse you for. These costs include all manuals and participation. If you are interested contact Tracy 598-7615. Please register as soon as possible so we will know that we have enough participants
Note to Parents You are asked to stay and watch over your children when they are at practice. Volunteers are very much appreciated. Please note dates and write them on your calendar. Thank you - your dedication is very much appreciated!
