I am sad to report that my Mum passed away early on Thursday morning 21st January 2010 after a short Illness.

Jessie started archery in 1990 at the age of 70 and loved every minute of it.

Twice Jessie was asked to shoot for the London Borough of Redbridge in the London-wide 50+ Sporting Challenge and was so proud to win a medal each time.  When she could no longer shoot 60 or 50 yards she was happy to just be socialising at tournaments and was delighted when asked to be Lady Paramount.

I would like to thank everyone who helped to add to Mum’s delight in the sport.

Thank You.

Joan Ikel

The weather was kind the rain  held of till long afetr the field was cleared.

The Day; Tuesday 10th June started fair, Cloudy with a slight wind and warm. In the afternoon it was sunny and Hot. After agreeing the shooting arrangement it was decided the tournament should be a one way shoot. The days Champion being the one with the highest score (not hits). With a sharp blast from the horn we started at 10am.

Everyone managed to score hits at 100 yards Pat and Ian managed four hits out of six arrows at 100 yards this was a most rewarding experience, at noon the horn was sounded for Lunch afetr six dozen arrows. Lunch was as very refreshing with old style Damson Gin, and Honey Whisky. Back to shooting at 1pm, shooting for the day was shortley after 3pm.

Tony Maher was declared the Champion of the day,  with dues ceremony Tony was presented with a Trophy Goblet together with a commemorative Scroll. It was agreed by all that the “Fun” York round had again been fun and all put it in thier diary’s for 2009.

Scores; Tony Maher  256 - 63 -7.  Steve Sragg  225 - 53 -2.  Pat Spragg  213-56-2.  Charlie Barnes  175 -65 -3.             Tom Major  127-37-0.  Bob Welbourn  127 - 29 - 2.  Ian Crabbe  101 - 47 -0.

Friday 28th was practice and registration day which runs from 1430 to 1700, and although it was warmer than back in the UK it was cool and very windy, but they all enjoyed the swimming pool back at their Hotels after the shooting.

Saturday 29th was much warmer and less windy and it was a pleasure to be shooting outdoors. Tony Ikel (Oakfield Archers) was the Director of shooting once again and the timing was by count down clock instead of Traffic Lights to which the juniors quickly adjusted. The shooting moved along quickly as there is only one detail but there were long breaks at the change of distance, while the scores were checked! Plenty of time to enjoy the free water and orange, which is always provided for the archers and officials. One of the juniors Edward Kearse got stung by a wasp but it did not stop him shooting. During the lunch break the Essex Archers were interviewed by Malta TV.  Shooting finished for the day at 1600 , so it was back to the Hotels and the Swimming pools before dinner.

Sunday 30th Started cool, but it soon started to warm up in spite of some clouds, and the archers got down to some real shooting. Louise came in for a lot of attention because they were intrigued that such a small 10 year old was shooting 60 metres, she is the youngest competitor ever at the Malta Star. Shooting finished at 1615 and the presentation was held on the field, everyone was away by 1730, back to their Hotels and those swimming pools again.
