CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
October brings half-term, autumnal walks, heating on, hot chocolate and Halloween.
I would like to take this
opportunity to highlight
a talented youngster from
Thrapston 14 year old Archie
Bromley a student at Prince
William School on the National
Age Group Academy for Archery
GB. Archie like many youngsters
lacked confidence at a young age
and tried different sports before discovering Archery at Archers in Raunds aged 8. His first competition was 3 months later when he claimed gold in the U10s and was talent spotted by Archery GB 3 months later. Archie has numerous trophies and medals for competing at Club and County level, holds 23 County records and is the U18 outdoor champion. He ranked 2nd in the UK for the European selection process, 3rd overall in the UK for under 18’s. At the Archery GB National Youth festival in July this year Archie claimed Silver in the mixed teams U18 and Silver in the U16 National Championships. Selected to represent GB
Archie has just competed in
his first international match
in the European Youth Cup in Bucharest Romania where his final ranking position was 17. Archery GB supports where they can but with so little funding awarded junior archers are self- funded and Archie is looking
for Sponsorship, if you can help please contact me. Good luck Archie I am sure we will be seeing and hearing more about
you very soon.
As a former rounders player for many
years, I have to congratulate Thrapston Ladies Rounders team for winning the league for the second year running, your commitment and team spirit is to be applauded. Also, a very well done to Sarah Pym the league highest scorer with 39.5 rounders averaging 5.5 per game, you smashed it ladies.
Optimistic October, look forward, step outside, explore our town and all it has to offer.
Best wishes, Cllr Val Carter
