The Club Championship runs throughout the year from October. Any member of Eagle Bowmen can take part. Points are available for various things. There are monthly competitions on a club night which can be done on any of the club practice nights that particular week. It is based on a handicap system with additional points being awarded to the first ten. It’s also a great way to have a go at the various different rounds available and to practice scoring.
Points are also awarded for the following:
Entering a Competition (including club monthly ones) = 1 point
Entering a UK Record Status Competition = 2 points
Entering a World Record Status Competition = 3 points
Points are then awarded accordingly for coming 1st –
There are also various other awards to be won which are given out at the end of the year at the Christmas Awards Meal. It’s a great night out and as the points are kept a ‘secret’ throughout the year it can be a complete surprise to those getting an award.
