Wellington Archery practice - Saturday

[NigelT]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On saturday 15th March, from 2:00pm onwards, we will be running an open invitation archery / combat session in Wellington. This is open to anybody and we're hoping to see people from all of the groups in the region.

We have the use of a secluded sports field. So we will have an archery range set up at one end for anyone who wants to practise, compete, or just have a go for the first time (we'll have some spare gear you can borrow). The rest of the field will be available for combat, including combat archery and regular combat. This is not a formal affair, but it is a chance to get together with other people from Wellington and have a fun afternoon. If you have something interesting to shoot at, by all means bring it along.

There is shade from the trees as the afternoon wears on, but I suggest you bring plenty of water and perhaps something to sit on if you don't like grass. The availability of bathroom facilities could be in doubt, so be prepared for this eventuallity.

I've attached a map for how to get there. You need to take the Grenada North/Tawa exit off SH1 near Wellington, head to Grenada North and then follow the map. The car park is approximately 5 minutes walk from the field, so you will have to carry your gear a short distance - it's a smooth asphalt path so no hardship.

Sorry for the late notice, we've only just got the use of the field and we wanted to squeeze in something before Easter. We will be doing this again at semi-random intervals, with smaller archery trainings every two or three weeks.

Please also pass this along to anyone else you know who might be interested but won't be reading this.

See you all there,
Nigel

I forgot to mention - this will start at 2pm and run until people have something better to do (perhaps 5pm).

If people want to start earlier, let me know and I'll be there earlier - we've got the site for the whole day.

Cheers,
Nigel

Obviously, at least 5 Wellingtonians will be at horse training. I guess we'll train together at Easter?!

Yay! All good. Watch this space - probably be a couple or three weeks after easter.

Cool, we'll be there, not sure if Grayson will be doing any or not seeing's he is getting a new tattoo so might be a bit sore.

Please help.

We are new to this. My daughter (12) does archery at Mana Archery and is a member of the Company of the Dragon and would like to do medieval archery.

We don't know where you train or at what time.

HELP

Hey! We learnt how to shoot at Mana, went to their recent open day for the field archery.

For our archery ref to the map above, and going off that post (original one) it starts at 2 pm.

We are contacting you though the Gathering darkness chat room and as far as I can see there is no link showing us a map of where you train.

Is there another web site I should be going too.
