NEW VENUE. AT PLAS SILYN PENYGROES

We are pleased to announce that we have now moved to a new venue. Come and join us At Plas Silyn  Leisure Centre Peneygroes on Sunday afternoons at 2.00 pm 

It is the season to be jolly and especialy this week end as we have our Xmas shoot and later in the day our Christmas feast . This year it is to be at Dinas Dingle . A new resturant by the beach recently opened by our freind Gwynedd of Parc Glynllifion fame . so see you there on Sunday 12 Dec.

We were in Llanberis on Saturday the 18th providing some entertainment with our Archery 'have a go' which went well despite the inclement weather for the 35th Snowdonia run. We managed quite a good turnover on the day . Although things started slowly it gradually built up as the day progressed and we managed to raise a respectable sum for the club and give a donation to the organisers. Thanks to our supporters for your hard work and help on the day.

Lawence Makes the Grade

Congratulations to Lawrence our latest archer to make the grade from beginner to improver and win his coveted white arrow badge and certificate of competetence .

Friday Closure

Dear [ member,] we are writing to you to tell you why we have decided to close the Talysarn Junior Archery Club on Friday evenings.

In order to be able to shoot we have to have targets,safety nets and other equipment which is bought along in our trailer . Unfortunately the person who usually does this is unwell and cannot drive . Geoff has a small trailer which we have used but he is also unwell and cannot drive and there are no other members with cars and tow bars, so we have no way of getting the equipment we need to Talysarn and there is nowhere to store it there.

Because Geoff is unwell this means that Beryl will not be coming along either. Ian has decided to leave the club and as for myself [Peter] I am also waiting to go into hospital for an operation, which means I will not be able to come to Talysarn for a while. So even if we could get the equipment to Talyasrn there would be no coaches or seniors to supervise and we have to be sure that the safety rules are kept.

Because we have equipment stored at Glynlifon ,The Seniors will still be meeting there on Sundays and perhaps it may be possible to organise a night there for the juniors in the future .

We are very sorry that we have had to make this decision and I am sure that you are all disappointed .

We have had a very happy time at Talysarn and have enjoyed your company, helping and teaching you and the other juniors . Thank you for the fun and the joy.

Geoff, Beryl, Peter

Xmas celebrations

T'was a cold wintry evening when we went down 'Jacks'
for our Christmas Dinner and wore our funny hats.
Some had turkey, some had pork and after pulling all the crackers,
All began to talk.

There was mirth and merriment galore, as people rolled upon the floor.
There was talk of 'Piles' and of 'Butts' and 'Loosing off' of course.

Some recalled,when at the butts they struck some gold or very nearly caught, a cold!
Some recalled those moments magic, Some recalled those moments tragic,
some of them bad and some of them good,some in the centre,some in the wood !

Undetered and undismayed, with all their badges well displayed
on to tournaments they competed and returned the UNDEFEATED.

[well it is xmas]
