COVID-19 UPDATE!!

Good news fellow archers! We are now resuming our club shoots, and have updated the calendar to try and fit in as many pointscore shoots as we think is reasonable. Thanks to all the working bee volunteers that helped us clean up the ranges and practice butts.

**NOTE**: Please read the new hygiene rules relating to staying safe during the current COVID situation.

They will be located at the practice butts and on our message board.

​

=========================================================

To all members and friends of LMFA.

As of 17/4/2020, 3DAAA have provided an updated status on COVID-19 and its impact on archery activities.

My attempt at summarising:

- All 3DAAA sanctioned and special events on the 2020 calendar are postponed/suspended for 2020.

- Contingencies are being explored to reschedule or conduct some events later in year if opportunity allows.

- All clubs are directed to comply with federal and state requirements. 3DAAA have strongly advised clubs to NOT use their grounds for ANY club activities. THIS INCLUDES INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE ON CLUB GROUNDS, as travel to the archery range is not considered essential.

- Any club activities that do not comply with 3DAAA advice void our insurance and leaves our club exposed to liability.

Full details have not yet been posted publicly, but I expect will be soon at www.3daaa.com.au

As such, all Lake Macquarie Field Archers club shoots, twilight shoots, try archery days and individual practice on club grounds remain suspended for the time being.

Really sorry to everyone. Archery and the family around it are an important part of all of our lives. Look after yourselves and each other. Take advantage of social media to stay connected as much as you can.

We look forward to resuming normal activities as soon as possible.

=========================================================

1/3/20

Today was the 2nd day of the Milbrodale shoot with great weather all weekend. The club was well represented, with most of the regulars and a few new to the state series. Speaking with most people, they enjoyed all the challenging targets, even the turkey from 3m away at a ~45 degree angle. We appreciate all the volunteers that gave their time and energy to make these wonderful events happen.

​

23/2/20

While today was round 2 of the clubs pointscore championship, it is the first available event due to torrential rain over round 1 weekend.

Weather was fantastic, but unfortunately the mozzies were also out enjoying the weather and the shooters too.

The range was on the easier side of challenging, apart from the longer distance bundy bear, set by a few cheeky people.

​

8/12/19

The 2019 Christmas Party, Awards Presentation and AGM went off spectacularly today. Loads of great food and fun were enjoyed by our  LMFA family, and made us all appreciate the great things that we have going with our club.
