the spot/ inner kill/pro ring<br />
is hit with the first arrow<br />
only, ie 1 for 20 becomes<br />
1 for 24, but a 2 for 14<br />
stays as a 2 for 14.<br />
Do not remove arrows<br />
before scoring has been<br />
completed.<br />

2012 NFAS <strong>National</strong> Champs<br />
Arley Hall, Arley, near Northwich,<br />
Cheshire<br />
15th/16th September<br />
THE clubs laying the courses for the 2012 <strong>National</strong> Champs at Arley<br />
Hall are:<br />
Cheshire Oak Bowmen<br />
South Cheshire <strong>Field</strong> Archers<br />
Seedfield Archers.<br />
I would like to thank these clubs for volunteering their services, and<br />
also Olde Delph Bowmen, Sabden Fold, Warcock and Derwynd, who<br />
were also prepared to put on a course.<br />
The support in Lancashire and Cheshire is much appreciated.<br />

WHO’S WHO, and what they do...<br />
FOLLOWING the article in the last newsletter, ‘I haven’t received my newsletter...’<br />
and other common questions, further issues have come to light, not least that some<br />
members obviously had not read the article at all!<br />
So please take note of what to do, who to contact, etc as detailed below:<br />
You have arranged/changed your club’s shoot date(s): Lewis Chuck, Shoot Organiser, who<br />
will put the dates on the calendar before sending to the <strong>Newsletter</strong> Editor and Webby (for<br />
the website). Do NOT send these details to the <strong>Newsletter</strong> Editor or Webby.<br />
Contact details for your club have changed/your club’s details are not in the contacts<br />
section (newsletter or web): Lewis Chuck, as above<br />
You have changed your address: Richard Dobson, Membership Secretary. Richard will<br />
update the database and this will then ensure you receive your newsletter. Do NOT contact<br />
the <strong>Newsletter</strong> Editor.<br />
You have not received your newsletter: Richard Dobson, Membership Secretary. Firstly,<br />
check you did not tick the box to receive the newsletter electronically and secondly, check<br />
your address details are up to date. If you are sure that neither of the above fit, please<br />
contact Richard Dobson who will confirm your details on the database for you to receive<br />
future copies. It is always possible your newsletter has been delayed in the post, so even if<br />
you friend has received theirs, please wait a few days before contacting Richard. Do NOT<br />
contact the <strong>Newsletter</strong> Editor.<br />
It is important that you take note of the above as members of the committee are finding<br />
that too much of their time is being wasted taking phone calls or forwarding emails because<br />
you have not taken the time to check who you should be contacting.<br />
