Regrettably, due to increased COVID risks, availability of judges and reducing numbers, the Committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the tournament for 2022. We appreciate that this will be a disappointment and it is not a decision we made lightly, however we have to put the safety of our volunteers and archers first.
This week Brixham Archers presented Peter Greensmith with a Lifetime honorary membership to the Club. Peter has been a member of Brixham Archers for over 40 years and has supported the club throughout his membership. During the presentation, which was conducted by Stephen Moss (Chair), Peter recounted some of his memories, particularly when the club membership dropped to 8 members. Peter was one of those 8 members at the time, and with others promoted the club to increase the numbers back up to a more sustainable count.
Peter joins the elite honorary Members club and joins Malcolm Grant, Paul Allen, Amanda Allen and Judith Brooker who have all volunteered many hours to supporting and running the club.
Thank you all for coming, Feedback was again positive about the course, the tricky style of the shots, the catering and the all round good feeling that was present. We ran a rolling start with archers out on the course from 8:15 onwards and the day ran very smoothly. We had a number of cancellations late on by archers doing the right thing and staying away when they felt ill or had to isolate, thank you all for doing this.
