Terry King July 16 · Edited . 24-HOUR ARCHERY SHOOT TO RAISE MONEY FOR NDHT CHEMOTHERAPY UNIT Kenwith Company of Archers is 50 years old this year and to mark this great occasion we will be holding a 24-hour sponsored shoot in Bideford’s Pannier Market on 23rd and 24th of August to raise money for the Northern Devon Healthcare Trust Chemotherapy Unit Appeal. This shoot will start at 5:00 pm on Saturday 23rd August when the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress of Bideford will start the shoot going by blowing a whistle to call the archers to the shooting line. Relays of archers will then shoot in 2 hour slots, finishing at 5:00 pm the following day. We don’t know how many arrows will be shot in total nor do we know the total score that will be achieved however there will be a “Guess the total Score” competition with the closest guess for the total score scooping a prize of at least £100. There will also be an opportunity for members of the public to try their skill on our ‘Have-a-Go’ range set up in a different part of the Pannier Market. We are hoping to raise in excess of £1,000 from sponsorship and other fund-raising activities towards the Appeal. Our Club was formed in September 1964 in the grounds of Kenwith Castle. Over the years since then we have had a number of temporary homes at different venues around the district until in 1991 we were able to buy our own field near Littleham which is now our permanent home and used for target archery throughout the summer months.
