David Hickman of
Kangaroo Island Archery
Club has been shooting a
few rounds with us while
visiting Adelaide.
KIAC is a new club, formed
this year, and they would
love to welcome any of us
who would like to shoot in
KI.
They are located near
Kingscote Airport.
From the president, Daniel Caon:
SA Government screening for volunteers working with children is now free. Adelaide Archery Club is a registered
organisation. For more information go to: https://screening.sa.gov.au/
Last month our Librarian, Randy Coon, notified me that he is withdrawing from the Librarian Position as he will be
moving to Western Australia. I would like to thank Randy for his service over the past several years. His enthusiasm has
been appreciated. The current magazine subscription to Bow International will continue as will Archery Focus.
From the coaching co-ordinator, James Henriks:
I am organising a twilight beginner’s course to clear the waiting list and a few January hopefuls. This course will
start on Tuesday 27 November for three weeks. The course scheduled for January 2019 is full.
I will need to borrow some club equipment on Saturday 1 December for a Camp Quality at Narnu Farm, Hind-
marsh Island. Pam and Dean Pettman will be assisting me.

make it available in the clubrooms so our members still
get the benefit from it. Some current articles are:
