Archery held at Queen’s College

Nov 06, 2019 Sports

At the beginning of September 2019, the Queen’s College CXC Graduating Class of 1990-95 rekindled friendships and formed a diverse and dynamic group to plan their Reunion in 2020. This pro-active group of alumni from Queen’s College has since met with the Principal of Queen’s College and started discussions with the overall objective of assisting their alma mater.
Since then, they have collaborated with the Board of Directors of Archery Guyana to plan the Launch of a “Queen’s College Archery Club” with the hope that future Olympians will emanate from their School out of this fast growing and appealing sport.
Despite disappointment of a failed launch during the General Assembly to commemorate the 175th Anniversary of the School, which was reported to be because of the change or chairmanship of the board and forgetting to include the launch in the programme, the inclusion of archery did receive a boost at the institution.
The Alumni wishes to commend the Principal Mrs. Jackie Benn for her enthusiasm, knowledge and research of the sport and support for the students of Queen’s College.
Due to the Headteacher’s intervention, as part of the School’s recent 175th Anniversary Celebrations, Archery Guyana collaborated with the Graduating Class of 90-95 and hosted an Archery Booth for students, teachers and alumni to be initiated to the sport on Thursday 31st October, 2019 at the School’s Sports Day on the Field. The venture was a success.
This new sport attracted a large crowd of very eager potential archers who tried their skills at shooting the bow, many of whom immediately wanted more information on when they might start practicing the sport regularly.
Most of the students got a chance to use the bows provided, and some even hit a few 10 rings (bullseyes). This natural talent was noted by the Archery Guyana representatives on the field.
The students were also treated to a demonstration of Olympic archery by Archery Guyana coach Anand Mangra, using his equipment and explaining parts of the process of how it’s done, which further awed the QC students.
QC Principal, Mrs. Jackie Ralph-Benn was also excited to try her hand at archery.
