THE JOHN GELDARD MEMORIAL MEETING
The Society is pleased to offer this meeting within our Events Guide, in celebration and recognition of one of the Society’s great Champion Archers. The meeting will be held on the shooting grounds of John’s club, Samlesbury Longbow Archers at Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Club, Lightfoot Lane, Fulford, Lancashire, PR4 0AP
John was the Society’s Gentlemen’s Champion for many years and his scores for the York round were impressive. He was certainly a man to beat and, at his peak, was almost unbeatable. A fine archer and bowyer whose favoured target round was the York round.
Although the York round is usually classed as a gentleman’s round, this competition will be open to any ladies or juniors who wish to take part.
Only one set of medals will be awarded, but they are awarded on merit, not gender or age.
