Innovative Prizes

[westopher]

The Bowmen of Melville are hosting a tournament next month and have two innovation prizes or rewards.

Apart from the normal placing awards and spot prizes etc, they are offering:
1) $250 to the club that enters to largest percentage of their affiliated members, by the closing date. This sponsorship was offered by local company Chatelle P/L.; and
2) 20% off the entry fees for clubs who have five or more members enter by the closing date.


I think that everyone needs to exchange ideas of what makes their tournaments a success. BOM had 90 entries last year, hopefully more this year.

might actually get people attending other than the one's that are just trying to take out div 3 so they can get a pissy little medal. :beer_drink: :beer_drink: even I would drink to that!!

[robbo]

Great idea! should encourage a few more archers to attend.

Maybe thats the other good "innovative prize"
last year at the melville comp they didnt hand out "pissy little medal" but in fact handed out trophies and big fat beer glasses :beer_drink:

[Marcus]

How many entries do you get and what's the entry fee?

[robbo]

And where's Melville? :-?

[mr_flibble]

Melville is in Perth
Last year there was 88 entries, thats a lot for any competition in Perth (just short of the number that attended the State Championships). Entry is $15 a head (i think), but if a club has 4 or more members (i think) entered they get a 20% on their entry fees. Nearly every person gets this discount.

I went down to Melville today mainly to bounce some ideas off Westopher but came away very impressed with the club. They are well organised with excellent facilities and a very friendly membership. A terrific atmosphere to shoot in, I think. I will definitely be at the PAA.

PAA? Westopher explained it as a metricised Old Pro shoot that operates in a semi circle with the targets getting progressively further away. This probably would have more sense if I had paid more attention but it sounded like fun. There will also be a few 'side shows' to keep shooters busy whilst waiting their turn to shoot. Should be a good day.
