Latest News From The EFAA

It is with a heavy heart we let you know a beloved fellow archer and friend Bob Bruce passed away on December 26th 2024.

Bob Joined Whitefriars Bowmen in April 1998, during all the years in our club Bob helped move the club into its current home. He became range officer of Whitefriars Bowmen in January 2007 then additional role of secretary in 2008. He always put his heart and soul into the sport with the help of his wife Kay and children. Bob helped rebuild the club.

He always loved to shoot EFAA and NFAS, at the club and also going away to other clubs having a good shoot- round, (maybe with a trip to the local watering hole afterwards). Bob was a brilliant person to shoot and be with, the banter always kept sprits high and we never said anything about a bad shot here or there “cough cough”.

He has left a big legacy for us to follow and will be greatly missed by all those that met him. Rest in peace Bob, all our thoughts our with Kay and Family

Phillip and his late wife Zelda were members of Kings Forest Bowmen since the 1980’s and were both at times members of our Committee. They both used to shoot regularly at EFAA National Competitions and were part of the KFB group that shot all around the World at IFAA Competitions both winning many Tournaments at home and abroad.

Sadly several years ago Zelda passed and for a while I think Phil lost his taste for Field archery but still stayed a member of the club and gradually regained his pleasure with the sport and started to travel with KFB again to National Competitions and some local Classification shoots with his son Adam and shot many different styles.

A couple years ago Phil was unwell and had to go into a home to cared for he sadly he died earlier in the month his Funeral details are: Monday 30th September at 11.00hrs at St Peters Church, West Row, IP28 8PD. Following the service people are invited to his wake at Judes Ferry, West Row, IP28 8PT.

If you are going to attend would you please let Rosie know in order the family can cater accordingly. Her e-mail address is rosiekfb@aol.com

Rest in peace Phil , we shall always remember the Laughs at the Club and on all the Field Archery Courses we walked together around the World.

A reminder please to return shoot certificates correctly and fully completed to our Records & Incentives Officer (Graham) as soon as possible after the classification shoot.

Following the unprecedented amount of rainfall that we have all endured in recent months, many of us are unable to make full use of our regular shooting / practice grounds and may be looking elsewhere for much needed practice. This is just a polite reminder that if you shoot at a ‘pay as you play’ or similar venue, if the venue does not have an EFAA Range Charter Certificate, you will not be covered by the EFAA insurance policy. Please check before you shoot that the venue has been chartered for the practice area and/ or the course or both.
