PCYC launches archery

Umina PCYC held a free barbecue and open day to promote the club's newest sport, archery, on February 21.

"PCYC Umina Beach launched archery as part of a state wide initiative by PCYC to get young people involved in the sport," said club manager Mr Allison Carpenter.

"Umina Beach is one of the first clubs to get this new sporting activity in place.

"The activity is well structured and supervised, and every young person who comes along will get a chance to become an accomplished archer.

"We will be looking to provide a good development path for talented members, and to get them involved in inter-club and Archery Australia events to further their achievements."

The archery open day also included a white elephant stall with proceeds going to the Victorian Bushfire Victims, raffles, Sing Star, Guitar Hero, the Drumbala drumming group and Behind the Veil Belly Dancers.
