The Archers du Bocage club in Montebourg brings together 77 licensed archers, featuring 30 women and 47 men split evenly between 36 minors and 41 adults, as outlined during an annual general meeting covered by saint-lo.maville.com. Club president Gérard Legoupil led the session alongside Montebourg mayor Jean-Pierre Mauquest, reviewing financial statements, facility upgrades, and the upcoming competitive calendar for the 2026–2027 season.
Facility Upgrades and Coaching Milestones at Salle Auguste-Hamel
Facility improvements anchored the club’s administrative report ahead of the winter schedule. Professionals arranged by the municipal administration completed electrical renovations inside the Salle Auguste-Hamel venue. In addition, members installed a custom mounting gantry designed specifically to assist visually impaired archers. On the competitive and coaching front, Chloé Lemoigne earned selection to officiate at the French championships held in Saint-Avertin, while Ambre Fouace secured a federal coaching diploma.
Late November Indoor Competitions Launch the Competitive Schedule
Competition gets underway locally on Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, 2026, when the club hosts its annual indoor tournament. These dates form the first major test for the club’s roster of competitors following the administrative approvals granted during the October 16 meeting.
Spring Outdoor Championships and Summer Leisure Events Planned for 2027
Outdoor competition arrives on May 30, 2027, with a designated outdoor target archery event. The departmental committee proposed hosting the event as the official Manchester regional championship fixture, with club leadership targeting the Stade Louis-Lecacheux as the venue. A dedicated leisure day is penciled in for June 19, 2027, featuring morning sessions for para-archers and afternoon blocks aimed at youth and adult beginners, alongside ongoing referee training for younger club members.
Equipment Investments and Long-Sleeved Competition Apparel on the Horizon
Club executives turned their attention to logistical needs following the unanimous adoption of the financial report. Plans include reconfiguring the full target wall inside the indoor hall and purchasing protective canopies for outdoor meets.
