Another full meeting last night with a lot of material covered.  The meeting opened with looking over the minutes of the previous meeting and discussing a few items that came up.  Each of the Officers gave a brief report on current items.  Some of the items discussed referred to 'membership pathways' into the club and how we could better streamline access to the club.  Various points were raised and better use of the web site was mooted. The use of video clips and photos on the web site was suggested also both in terms of showing visitors what we do and also for training purposes.

A revamp of the web site was discussed as well as other PR projects including a newsletter were also put forward.  A social trip to Tullamore is being looked at, as is a visit to an Archery competition, fact finding missions!

The main point of the meeting was to look at how we can develop our coaching and training potential.  As a precursor to this topic we looked at opening times for the club which would be available to show potential new members around.  It was felt that the range would be open each night for this, except Monday's, which would be reserved for members training. Members would have access to the range at all other times also.  Non members wishing to visit the range to see what we do out side of these times will be able to do so but only by prior arrangement.

The second part of the discussion on training focused on the further development of our new Instructors. The need to get our Instructors up to speed quickly with developing training sessions and looking at developing a training course was stressed and all present were asked to commence, with all haste, this task.

In keeping with our desire to end all meetings at 9.30pm. We accepted that items will need to be revisited later but that progress was being made.  Social activities and fundraising are the main topics for our next meeting which will be held in two weeks time.

Mark has informed us that activity on our web site has increased considerably, so thank you all for visiting, please come back

and keep your ideas coming in.

Best of luck to our shooters in the upcoming matches including the Nationals, we wish you all well!
