May 27, Saturday – SD Archer King Arthur Paint Party & Bale Making

King Arthur's Tournament, 50 Year AnniversayAttention All Ye Archers of San Diego

Please join us for the King Arthur Paint Party:
This Saturday, May 27, 8am-noon
Balboa Park Archery Range

This is a double-duty work party!

  • For anyone interested in making and replacing target bales, the bale making will commence at 7am.

  • The more leisure painting party will commence at 8am.

     

Our 50th Annual King Arthur Tournament is rapidly approaching on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18. There is still work to be done to prepare our tournament grounds and targets for the visiting opponents!  Our legendary King Arthur Targets must be gilded, a.k.a. hand-painted, by any and all talented (and some not-so-talented) volunteers.  If you have any special talents that might be helpful in our preparations, please let us know.  

In addition to gilding targets, new target bales will be made and used to replace worn out bales. Opportunities abound for the energetic (bale-making/replacement) and leisure (target gilding) volunteers!

Even if you just have an hour or so to spare, please come join us Saturday morning!  Most of the work should be done by noon or so.

If you are able to help for even an hour or two at any work party, please send an email to SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com for more details. If you would like to join the Bale Making Work Party, please wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles if you have them! 

Kids (& adults!) will have a great time at the King Arthur Target Painting Party! We provide all the supplies (paint & brushes), plus targets ready for creative embellishment!

The San Diego Archers truly appreciate your help. Both archery ranges in Balboa Park are maintained by volunteer efforts alone. If each member (non-members welcome, too!) contributed just one hour of volunteer work on either range, we would have two of the nicest looking ranges in California. 

Anyone who volunteers at a work party shoots for free in their next tournament! Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.
