The end of the month ...

August ends and September starts ... so begins the move to autumn and winter, and the cry of "the nights are fair drawing in" will be heard in Scotland.

There has been quite a lot going on since I last wrote. I been at some more, and better attended shoots. The Penicuik Premier is next weekend and that is usually "stowed out" to use another local phrase.

People should now be aware that there is another Director on the Board. I am glad to say that this now means the majority of Directors are "serious archers". Bev was at the Newcastle shoot last weekend looking for her last MB score which she sadly missed by a few points.

I have really had my head down over the last two months looking at the governance of the society, In this, I am part of a team with John Poyner (Director Finance) and Allison Kennedy from Standard Life Investments. Alison is on board due to the FTSE 100 initiative where the BOA paired up companies and governing bodies. I kind of knew that this was a big task, but I now feel that it is going to be something like a two year project rather than one that can be finished in a few months.
