What garments?

A tracksuit was suggested, as well as shirt / fleece.
Alan to look into sorting out a shortlist
.We need to register colours with GNAS about a year in advance.
Possible sources of sports clothing suggested by Dave Bell, Alan Blood, and John Brooks.
Novelty shoot / BBQ
To mark the start of the Outdoor season it was sgree to organise a novelty shoot and BBQ.
Aileen suggested a “Pope & Young” ( bosses set in a semicircle, 6 arrows in 30 seconds, no sights ).
Date was set at the first outdoor session, Sunday 2nd April. Details TBA.
Beginners' Course
Jean to contact potential applicants ASAP.
More details to be sorted at a later date.
A.O.B.
( Dave ) To ensure safe practice on the field, we should make sure that there is a committee member present at all times. To make this workable, it was agreed to adopt a routine of contacting each other (usually via email ) in advance of every outdoor session, to “get a feel” for the availability of committee members. Usually this will not be a problem, but we need to cover all eventualities.
Calke Abbey
We need to compile a rota for the event and some names are already on the list, but gaps need to be filled. Jean to inform / appeal to members, and take a rota sheet to archery sessions, to recruit more helpers.
Date of Next Meeting
To be arranged as and when necessary.
Meeting closed at 9.05pm
