Sad news
It is with great sadness to inform you all that Eric Mallet passed away on Friday 11th April following his illness with cancer. We await further details from his family including funeral arrangements that we will pass on once we know.
He was always a larger-than-life character, and highly regarded member of the archery community in Essex as member of both Abbey Bowmen, Noak Hill Archers and West Essex, who won both county and national competitions . He will be greatly missed by anyone that knew him or shot alongside him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family
County Outdoor Coaching Clinics
The summer season is approaching fast, and once again the county coaching team will be holding a series of individual outdoor coaching clinics at clubs across Essex and Suffolk over the next few months.
These days are open to archers of all levels who are looking to improve their performance.
The sessions will give archers access to coaching and to meet archers from other clubs across the county in a supportive and friendly environment.
Each session will take place at a different club across the county to give archers experience of shooting at different venues and to offer local coaching opportunities to as many people as possible.
