Results from the FWAG!!!
- by Richard Ellis
It turned out to be a glorious day on Sunday as the four clubs of Farnham, Woking, Alton and Four Marks (that's us), and Guildford fought valiantly to take home the FWAG club trophy for 2016.
Unfortunately the Alton and Four Marks archers were up against it this year, as we'd been unable to field a team at all for the 1st leg earlier in the year at Guildford and, barring some miracle (such as 4 perfect scores) it was unlikely we'd be taking the trophy home at the end of the day.
That said the Alton Archers (Myself, Dario Alexander, Francis Kinlochan and Paul Leahy) all managed to shoot solid Windsor scores and, although we weren't to bring home the trophy, we did at least come away with the best "Team Windsor" sc…

- by Melissa Salisbury
Three of AFMA were entered into the JNOC competition this year, Luca, Sophie G and Aspen. Sadly, Sophie had sustained another shoulder injury and was unable to compete.
The event was held at the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall in Shropshire. It a fantastic resource with sports halls and pitches to die for. This year AGB had made it the biggest event ever with 91 targets spread out across 2 football pitches with nearly 300 entrants from all over the UK.
The Saturday dawned bright and breezy with pretty hefty gusts especially on Luca’s field. There was a great atmosphere across the ground and it was fantastic to see so many young archers across the ages. It was metric day, Luca shot a Metric I (70m,60m,50m,30m) comi…

- by Melissa Salisbury
On a hot, sunny Sunday in June (really there was one) a team from AFMA headed over to Whitehill for the PAWs shoot. The name is an acronym of the clubs involved…. Petersfield, us and Whitehill…..
The day started badly for some as David Green had a broken bow so sadly couldn’t bolster our numbers. However undeterred the intrepid AFMA team of Richard Ellis, Andrew and Adam Stickland, Ryan Selby, Dario Alexander, Catherine Fairlamb, Aspen Salisbury and Melissa Salisbury warmed up in the sweltering heat!!!
Our hosts were most genial supplying bacon rolls and as much tea and coffee as you could drink. The shooting commenced with the shooting of National and Western rounds depending on age and ability. Everyone was …
