Hi everybody, Krishna here, Club Secretary, delivering you the below August club updates!
Fridge etiquette: Reminder
We are fortunate to have a fridge we can use in our club but we must all be respectful of each other and remove food which is out of date so that we do not cause anybody to fall ill because of germs.
Please let’s all work together and follow the guidance to keep our club clean and safe, a reminder below of correct fridge use, this notice is displayed on the front of our fridge.
What has changed the most at Bowmen of Harrow as of July 2025
It may come as a surprise to you that I am not talking about our move to Kenton or other places.!
In fact, having been around for a long time (since the first day the club started in fact), a very gradual change, perhaps unnoticed, has taken place.
Club ethos, camaraderie …… whatever you like to call it, it has been slowly eroded and along with that – either through lack of experience, or lack of attention to detail – we are losing our etiquette and safety rules. Worse still, if a member reminds another member of a safety rule, sometimes it is not received well and an unhealthy attitude emerges.
The sport itself is only a safe sport when the safety rules are adhered to. The Committee will be discussing these issues next week and so more information will come from that meeting to you soon.
The earlier point I made about camaraderie is that we have slipped a bit from a “pull-together” club. We have done so well with archers’ achievements in competitions keeping Bowmen of Harrow on the map locally and nationally, however, let us not forget our newer archers and encourage them to experience competition, help them to have a sense of belonging as they will be the future of the club coming through.
