At the Honourable Artillery Company
The Honourable Artillery Company, the Corporation of the City of London, the Church of England and the City Police have graciously allowed the Fraternity of Saint George to organize a March of the Archers along the route used in the 16th and 17th Centuries. Preceded by a Service of thanks-giving and followed by two shooting contests, the Shoot is by kind permission of the Honourable Artillery Company’s Court of Assistants and its Chief Executive.
The Artillery Garden is the last part of the former Finsbury Fields; hallowed ground for the longbow archer.
The opportunity to March the route the Archers took Centuries ago and shoot at the H.A.C. is a once in a lifetime event. The Shoot is open to all but by pre-registration. A strict dress-code applies.
The event will raise money for the Armed Services Charities of Britain and France.

The BL-BS resolutions are as follows;

“The Committee has decided to change the membership application form for new members, by having a proposer and seconder for any new member “ . .
This is a material reduction in members benefits, in members traditions of shooting and in members longbows to shoot with.
