News: Southern CountiesA royal appointment: Very special guest opens new pavilion
Windsor Forest Bowmen Archery Club has had a very important visitor: the Duke of Edinburgh. And he was there for an equally special reason – to open its brand new pavilion. The club has been shooting in St Stephens Field, Home Park, in the shadow of Windsor Castle, since the early 1900s. Members built the first club house in 1951 and it provided storage and shelter for club members but had no toilets or disabled access. After four-and-a-half years of designs, approval, fund raising and construction, all that has changed. And its very special guest was on hand to give the new base his royal seal of approval. Club President Chris Johnston said: "The future now looks bright, old members are returning, new members are being taught, we are active with the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, together with local schools and youth clubs. "The club is delighted to have His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh as its patron and even more delighted to name the new pavilion The Duke of Edinburgh Archery Centre. "To have His Royal Highness, who recently announced his retirement, officially open this fabulous new facility is an honour that club members will celebrate for years to come." It has been a team effort though. The club has worked closely with and would like to thank Sport England, the Prince Philip Trust, the Shanly Foundation, Southern Counties Archery Society, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and Howdens. Part of the finance came from Sport England's Inspired Facilities Fund. Although this fund is now closed, clubs in England can apply for capital projects as part the new Community Asset Fund. For further information visit the funding section of the Sport England website; www.sportengland.org/funding. Sport NI, Sport Scotland and Sport Wales all have similar funding programmes available for grassroots projects. A warm welcome.
Forest of Bere Bowmen has boosted its beginners courses. How? By throwing their doors open to members of the public at a have-a go session. There were welcoming smiles all round at the Hampshire club and the event even attracted photographers from the local newspaper, the Petersfield Post. Not as many visitors turned up as had been hoped for but it did not matter as many of those who did were eager to take their next steps in the sport.
