An Introduction to this collection
Recently we took to hold in trust the main part of a beautiful archery collection belonging to one of our club members, and then in due course to help facilitate finding new homes for a members bows, arrows, quivers, and various accoutrements on his behalf and his family.
He is keen for club members who would like to expand their collections, to have first refusal before I explore our wider archery community.
We discussed that perhaps at first I will share pictures, specifications and the information that he has provided, and then take it from there with any interested party.
Using a website makes sense in order to share pictures and information easily, and for good governance.
