WindReach To Host Annual Archery Tournament
WindReach Bermuda will be hosting its 5th Annual Archery Tournament on Saturday, June 7th at WindReach on Spice Hill in Warwick from 10am – 3pm.
People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to take part in this fun event. The annual event has been renamed the Andrew Faries WindReach Archery Tournament in memory of Andrew Faries who was an active participant in the WindReach Archery Program and Adaptive Sports Program for many years.
Apart from archery one of Mr. Faries’ other passions was wheelchair basketball and so there will also be a wheelchair basketball shootout competition at this weekend’s archery tournament in his memory.
Troy Farnsworth, WindReach’s Adaptive Sports Coordinator stated “Andrew always had a smile on his face and had fun. This is what the WindReach Archery tournament is all about. We want people to enjoy themselves and get involved.
“It’s all about community spirit and participation. Archery is one of the sports WindReach offers through its Adaptive Sports Program and continues to grow in popularity.
“People with a wide range of disabilities as well as seniors participate in weekly archery sessions and we also have a session on Tuesday evening which is open to the public.
“There are many benefits to archery including improved concentration and confidence, increased upper body strength and it is also a very sociable sport and great way to make new friends.
“I would encourage anyone who is interested to attend the tournament this weekend to get an idea of
what it’s all about. I think most would agree it’s a lot of fun. “
Please contact Troy Farnsworth on 238-2469 or email at tfarnsworth@windreach.bm if you are interested in the WindReach Adaptive Sports Program or would like to compete in the Archery Tournament.
