I'm looking for a new club. I shoot HT field archery and I was wondering if any other bowmen know of any clubs that are accepting new members. Before anyone says, I have checked with the NFAS but they can only give me contact details of club secretaries who don't often get back very quickly.


My skill is at national championship level and I'm a fully paid up NFAS member.


If anyone knows anything, please send me a message. I'm ideally after somewhere in the Kent or Surrey area


Thanks.

It's Jah who should be worried, beer gardens off limits for the foreseeable future...

Although crossbows should ideally be used to keep the local wildlife at bay Lou, I'd be more than happy.


Incidentally, I popped down to Target Arms for a tin of .22 air pellets and got talking to the nutters that run the place. Apparently they actually make quite a pretty penny hiring out the majority of their militaria to film and television production companies, so they're not fussed that nobody comes in to buy anything.


When I was younger and my grandad died my dad took possesion of his war booty. In the collection was an old Luger (decommissioned) and he took it down to Target Arms to see if they could clean it up a bit. They didn't provide that particular service but advised him to heavily insure it as it bore the sinister insignia of the SS. A lot of Nazi's and Millwall fans will pay a high price for that sort of thing and don't usually take no for an answer so they advised him to keep the pistol's unique hallmark to himself.


He did.

What do I say?


I say that the Dulwich estate don't take too kindly to that sort of thing Lou. I'm afraid that I speak with experience on this matter. During the Autumn of 2003 I was among a group of close friends messing about with a paintball gun in Sydenham woods. We were reported and we all ended up in front of the Magistrates at Woolwich and recieved a ?200 fine each, along with 100 hours community service. I'm not joking either.


Forgive me if I take a pass this time.

Daizie,


I'd be more than happy to meet Louisiana in a secluded wood to practice her aim and I'd like to think of myself as a competent instructor.


Apart from that,


Daizie, I like you and I think you've done a rather good job advocating the benefits and hurdles facing young A-level students. However, I'd appreciate if you educated yourself and got into the habit of starting your sentences with a capital letter.


Thanks.

Daizie,


I hate to bring this up but I'm becoming increasingly perplexed by your often bizarre replies to some of my more sensible contributions. I'm naturally flattered by your suggestion that I may be a 'love god' but I'm afraid I'm not in the position to comment as to how my performance in bed measures up to other men.


I merely have a massive wanga, that's all.

Angry Jah Lush + Armed bigbadwolf = You do the maths.


I wouldn't point a bow and arrow at anyone. I'd simply be interested to see how Jah would react if I were to remind him it's his 'bow time' in such an advertised method.


Apart from the obvious, I'm sure he'd see the funny side of such an unrealistic situation/event.

to tempt fate by offering a serious response, i think the London Archers are based in Pimlico somewhere - I used to fence round there (crossing blades rather than flogging ookey merchandise) and I seem to remember the Archers practice met nearby. Not sure if that counts as local - sort of depends where you're travelling from. Potentially could be just the other end of the 185.


If you're hoping to look out of London rather than inwards, I'm positive there's a Bromley Archery Club. I don't know any more than that - have always rather liked the look of archery myself but never gotten round to giving it a go.


Good luck with your search for a new club.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
