Phil Smith

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.

Chair KFB

Return of Shoot Certificates - Reminder for Club Officials

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.

INSURANCE COVER WHEN SHOOTING AT SOME OTHER VENUES.

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.

Unacceptable Behaviour

Unacceptable Behaviour

While the vast majority of members always conduct themselves in a correct and courteous manner, unfortunately, there have been instances this year when committee members have been subjected to confrontational, aggressive behaviour while going about their committee roles.  This results in anger and stress for the people concerned when they are trying to organise and manage events on behalf of members of our association. To those of you who consider confrontational, aggressive behaviour to be acceptable, be assured, it is not acceptable for any member of the EFAA to be subjected to such behaviour in any circumstances. Also remember, at the discretion of the EFAA committee, any person / persons considered guilty of such behaviour can and will be excluded from an event and in exceptional circumstances, can have their EFAA membership revoked. If, at any time or at any EFAA event, you have an issue that concerns you, please approach and speak with a committee member in a civil manner.
