Hertfordshire Archery Association 2017 County and Open Indoor Championship

Held the Gosling Sports Hall in Welwyn Garden City on 12 February, Hinxworth Archers maintained their usual brilliant form with Neil Bridgewater taking a joint top place for Compound and Isobel Wayman taking the Ladies’ Compound title. Our Longbow Gents took the top 3 places in their discipline with Derek Bridgewater finishing first, followed by Steve Weston second and Dave Chudley third. Thank you to all the Hinxworth archers who took part in the event.

At the Annual General Meeting on 7 March the Chairman’s Cup was awarded to David Osmond in thanks for his huge contribution to the running of the Club as he stands down after 18 year's service as Secretary. David was also presented with an engraved glass goblet.

David is remaining on the Committee as Membership and Website Secretary.

Well done all those archers braving the chill/rain/wind over the winter to submit scores for the Winter Hertfordshire Frostbite and Portsmouth Leagues on the field or in the barn. The results released this week show how successful our club has been.

The results show 1st positions for Hinxworth Compounds and Longbows shooting the indoor Portsmouth rounds, with our Recurves coming 4th in the 1st Division.

Again, our Compounds and Longbows achieved 1st position in the Frostbite competition, with Recurves coming 2nd.
