PALMSUNDAY ARCHERS – 2013 Programme

The PalmSunday Archers

The PalmSunday Archers are an enthusiastic group who meet once a month at the
Crooked Billet public house (full address – Wakefield Road, Saxton, Tadcaster,
West Yorkshire, LS24 9QN Telephone: (01937) 557389). We are part of the Towton
Battlefield Society, and our aim is to preserve the skills and craft of the traditional longbow, a weapon that has helped forge English history.
You do not have to be a member to attend. Just turn up and our experienced archers will be on hand to coach beginners in a safe environment. That way you can determine whether archery is for you. All ages are welcome. We have specially adapted bows for children and full-size bows for those who want to realise their childhood dreams of becoming a budding Robin Hood. We’re sure you will enjoy the fresh air, exercise and companionship.

Dates for 2013 are as follows:

• 20 January
• 17 February
• 31 March (the Palm Sunday event is the previous weekend)
• 21 April
• 19 May
• 16 June

• 18 August
• 22 September (The annual
  social shoot hosted by the Palm Sunday Archers)
• 20 October (When we will be hosting the visit by the Richard III society)
• 17 November
• 15 December

These will take place at the Crooked Billet, Saxton, unless otherwise notified and are, as
ever, dependant on the weather.
For regular members, I will send a reminder via e-mail before each
date and would appreciate a reply stating if you will be attending and whether
you require sustenance; with that I can notify the Crooked Billet with regard to
numbers for lunch.
