On Sunday August 17th our very own David Pitcairn will be hosting a free archery session for Max Appeal members.

The session will be held at Newton Aycliffe Archery centre from 11am, we have secured a function room at the club as well and will be providing lunch for families as well as giving everyone an opportunity to relax and spend some time together.

For those that are aged 7 and above they can take part in the full session, for those younger we will be putting on a session with the soft arrows etc.

Further details will follow next week along with a booking form so that we are able to know numbers etc.
