VOLVO SPONSOR BALLYVALLY.
Ballyvally's main sponsor for 2004 was Volvo and the club members were glad
to hear that Volvo will again be major sponsors for 2005-2006!. In 2004 Volvo
sponsored the club's official polo-shirts as well as sponsoring the British
Open in Field Archery at Loughbrickland.This Wednesday night 18th May, Volvo
representatives will be at Banbridge Leisure Centre during the club's normal
Wednesday night session to make a presentation to the club. All members are
asked to be there for the official photo session and to wear their Volvo
polo-shirts!Given that Ballyvally, as one of the best known and efficient
Field Archery Clubs in the UK, WILL BE ONCE AGAIN HOSTING THE ALL
BRITISH IN 2006,
the sponsorship will be very welcome!
Ballyvally archers have been
granted the privilege of the British Open again because the British Archery
Association was very impressed with the previous tournament. The club has
Volvo to thank for helping make the last British Open such a success.
INDOOR LEAGUE APPROACHES 300.
The indoor shot every Wednesday and Thursday in Banbridge Leisure Centre
looks like reaching the magic 300 archers before the league ends in June.At
the moment over 290 have shot since Jan 2005 in all sections of the league.
BLUEBELL SHOOT.
The last big open tournament by Ballyvally takes place next weekend.A FITA
Round will be shot over both days.This event which has already attracted
entries from England has been granted NIAS and British record status which
means that records can be claimed in all sections including the new white
peg section. Archers are asked to check the records after shooting on both
days.

the summer will take place between now and the middle of June.There are 9
