Having only recently mourned the passing of John Farrant, it is of equally sad news that another of our oldest members - Pat O’Doherty - passed away on 1st February at the age of 90 having also succumbed to Covid.

Pat joined Abbey Bowmen in 2003 and was fondly remembered by those that knew him as a wonderful gentleman with time for everyone and passionate archer. Pat also severed on the club committee for a number of years as equipment officer, often taking time aside from his own shooting to provide his expert advice to the many new club archers that joined using club equipment.

His funeral will be held at South Essex Crematorium on Wednesday, February 23 at 1:20pm

The ECAA Compound League has been run for a number of years and gives the Compound archers a bit of competition over the summer months letting them join in with the recurvers while they are shooting in the Albion League.

The full rules can be found here but it is an online postal competition with teams of 2 shooting approximately one round per month and submitting the scores online. There is no charge for this as we want to encourage teams to shoot - there is also no prize money!

If teams are interested then they can sign up online by the end of March
