We also have the usual limited edition 2011 Ironman Challenge Enamel Quiver Badge and this year we have a limited run of AIUK Ironman Challenge Mugs Both are available to purchase in the shop when you register and pay for the shoot. Sorry, but the badge and the mug are limited to one per person and are only available to those registering for the shoot.

For those who aren't aware of the AIUK Ironman, it's a fun and very friendly tournament shot at various locations throughout the UK on the same day and at the same time (with the exception of Glasgow this year which will take place a day later on the 28th). The round consists of seven dozen arrows shot outside at an 80cm (10 zone scoring) face at 30m. Medals for the winners, possible loss of toes for the losers... Beachware is optional... having fun isn't....

If your club would like to get involved and host an Ironman shoot on one of the above days, please let me know here or via PM.

£8.00 entry fee (inc. quiver tag, certificate).

[bimble]

Do you have to enter a particular shoot upon registration or can you sign-up and then wait for one closer to home??

[Dave]

Do you have to enter a particular shoot upon registration or can you sign-up and then wait for one closer to home??

Good question, and it would be nice to leave the option open but I need to know asap who's shooting where to get everything organised this end.

[bimble]

Also, isn't the 28th not a bank holiday?? I know the Monday 26th (Boxing), and Tue 27th (Christmas) are, but the 28th is a regular work day. Well... for those of us who don't take the time off (or have used up all their holiday time!!)

[Furface]

Are venue organisers automatically entered?

[Dave]

Are venue organisers automatically entered?

Yes, Nick they are, no need to sign up

[Furface]

Did I really say only 12 at Adel? We could cope with 24, if not more

Dave,

Did you get my PM about hosting an Ironman in the South East?

[Dave]

Dave,

Did you get my PM about hosting an Ironman in the South East?

Apologies Martyn, just sent you a PM (hope it makes sense )

[Dave]

Registration for the Ironman Challenge is now open to all registered members of AIUK.
Please register for the shoot here first:

http://www.archery-interchange.net/f...?do=form&fid=3

After registration you will be automatically transferred to the shop to pay for your entry.
Cost is 8.00 per senior archer and 6.00 per junior archer.

[BigShot]

Does the entry fee have to be paid right away or can it wait?
I fancy the idea of the shoot but won't be paid for a few days yet. I don't know how popular these shoots are but I don't want to miss my chance.

(I'll be shooting in Yorkshire if I enter.)



Also - I still don't have a GNAS number. I'm paid up, but still don't have a number, card or anything.
I've got my receipt around here somewhere though.
