For the Club Championship, as is Traditional I used Handicap adjusted scores.

The same scores will be used for Round 1 of the Frostbite Winter Series, based on your actual made score, without Handicap adjustment. An Archers best 4 scores will count from the 5 rounds of the Frostbite series.

I’ve added provisional dates on the CWAA Tournaments calendar and our Club Calendar for our 2024 Open Nationals and CWAA Novice Sunday 21st July and the Klondike Longbow Saturday 24th August.

Additionally in 2024 Malvern will be hosting the Simon de Montfort match with Evesham. This is likely to be either Saturday 15th or Saturday 22nd on June. This will be confirmed nearer the date.

If members can please make a note of these dates and be available to assist in the set up and/or running of these events it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you Paul.

I’ve now received the results from this years match at Evesham. You will find these on the Tournaments / Club page. All scores are included for those who represented the club, and you will see how the match result was decided.

The Malvern Archers New Years Day shoot returned again this year. Two years in a row, now that the worst ravages of Covid are past. It is still not gone and we still have some people who need to be careful. However being outdoors on a breezy day is about as safe as it gets.

A small group of members congregated at the field for a 10.30am start. Some of our regulars had found a warmer climate, but the bold amongst us prepared to shoot in to a low sun, with quite a cheeky breeze blowing. The sun did not last that long, and the temperature dropped (and the wind got cheekier). Unfortunately this meant a swift retreat for Kelly who is convalescing and the cold doesn’t help. It was great to see her out starting to shoot though. It also meant there was a round of the most excellent bacon and sausage sandwiches.

The rest of the shoot was made at speed (amongst the gusts of wind blowing scopes over), and we ended with our usual survivors photo. Sorry that this excludes Tony and Kelly who had left, and the photographer (Dave). Next year it would be good to see if we can get a larger turnout.

Despite a lot of stress in the lead up to the event due to a possible clash of dates that actually didn’t occur on the day, and condensing the shoot into an afternoon only event, we had a fantastic time, with some great battles through the smaller field.
