Good luck to the team!

Our next match is likely to be the 4-way indoor match in early 2023, so please keep submitting your scores.

Additionally, the County Executive has, unfortunately, had to decide that Essex & Suffolk will not be sending a representative team to the National Team Championships at Lilleshall at the end of September. Due to the limited number of scores received we would not be competitive throughout the shoot due to the format selected by Archery GB, and thus the associated costs for archers have been deemed unviable in light of this.

We understand the disappointment this may cause some archers but are hopeful of being able to send teams in 2023.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Terry Carter on Sunday 14th August. Our sincerest condolences go out to his wife, Christine, and his family. Both Terry and Christine contracted COVID when they returned from a recent holiday and Terry went on to develop pneumonia.

Those of you who knew him will remember his larger than life personality, his sense of humour, kindness and positive attitude to life. In recent years he fought bravely against cancer which he managed to recover from, however, the treatment must have taken its toll and in spite of fighting hard the pneumonia proved too much.

Terry started shooting in the 1970’s and after spells with Basildon Archers and Cranes Bowmen the clubs merged in 1983 to form Bowmen of Malgrave. Terry was always a prominent member of the club and introduced many to the sport and taught countless beginners. He had been Malgrave’s club president for a number of years and many will remember him presenting the medals at our Moonlight shoot.

A great character and friend, he will be sadly missed.

Ian Miller
Chairman Bowmen of Malgrave
