LCF&G is considering scheduling a casual archery league for spring & summer 2007 at our new archery range. These will probably take place once every one or two weeks. All scores will be handicapped. It would be a good way for archery minded club members to meet. Archery Chairman Ken Zimny is seeking input to determine how many people would be interested in participating. He would like input on what day of the week would work best for most people, what month to start, and any other constructive comments. Our inital thought is to hold them prior to the general membership meetings. Please e-mail him at ken@zimny.com or call him at 708-757-9080 to comment & have your name put on a notification list. The cost for participating with be minimal or nothing. |
