2020 Nutrition Challenge a Big Success

Kathleen Millar

March is always Nutrition Month and in our Advanced Classes we always have a challenge in order to see who eats the most balanced, healthy diet over the course of one week.

We were able to get this done before shutting down classes for the pandemic.  Here are the highlights:

Grand Champion:  Garnett Last 840/910 points!  Congratulations!

Class winners:  Serenity Last 780, Robert Kerr 770, and Bill Mackey 770.

Special congratulations to Serenity who was the only person to score a perfect 130 in one day!

We will have our annual Nutrition Challenge celebration as soon as we can finish the last two classes of session #3.  Stayed tuned for more details.

Final 2020 Mail Match Results

Kathleen Millar

Greetings:

Since we have been forced to close our lanes to the general public effective March 25, we have submitted our mail match scores both to Archery Canada and Archery Ontario.

You will find those results below.  Two things to note:

1.  AC has decided that due to the COVID-19 epidemic forcing most clubs to close, they will take the TOP FOUR scores this year instead of 6 for the averages.  We have not been contacted by AO regarding any changes.

2.  AC has advised us that all indoor championship medals and indoor mail match medals will not be distributed until later in the spring/summer.  We will let everyone know when they have arrived.
