In Memoriam – Alex Kerby
GWAS is very sad to report the death of the well known judge, Alex Kerby.
Alex had struggled with cancer for some time and was finally overwhelmed by the disease last week.
Many members will recall him in his role as a judge at GWAS and Somerset events: his seemingly stern exterior concealing a kind and witty man, who was a great servant to archery in the southwest.
It is a matter of regret that, due to the present coronavirus crisis, his archery friends will not be able to attend his funeral. However, members may wish to know that Chris Hassall will attend and has kindly agreed to represent our Society.
On behalf of the Society, we offer our sincere condolences to Marion, Hazel, Nick and Harvey.
Dunster 2020 Cancelled
It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that I must let you know that Dunster Week 2020 has been cancelled.
I am sure you can understand that this is not a decision that has been taken lightly. On the contrary we have held off as long as we felt we could but in the light of the rapidly changing situation and in particular the expectation of the Coronavirus peak falling in May and June, it was felt that the only sensible thing to do was cancel as Dunster is not an event that can simply be postponed.
I know this will be a huge disappointment to you all, it is for me too, but we are living in unprecedented times and most of us will never have experienced anything on this scale before in our lifetime.
All that is left to say is please stay safe, heed the advice coming out from the government and here’s to seeing you all at the 65thDunster Week “Take 2” which will run from 13thto 20thJune 2021.
