‘Big Ed’ Glasby - Field Captain - organiser of the Wednesday night practice shoots. One of our keenest archers, having managed to attend more shoots than anyone in a season for the past three years and has shown that practice makes perfect.

He won the prestigious Fraternity of Saint George ‘Champagne Shoot’ in July 2008 against archers from clubs all over Europe. He won the 2007 Robert Wallis Trophy shoot and the 2009 Crecy shoot. He came second in the 2008 Agincourt Trophy shoot and was third in the 2009 event. He came first in the seasonal averages for 2009 (based on the best 10 shoots during the year) and was also first in the highest handicap average in 2009. He held the club‘s highest score record from July 2007 to June 2008 and again from August 2009 to the present with a remarkable score of 148.

He is the Club’s academic, with degrees in Egyptian Archaeology and Archaeology & Anthropology (even got an MA in this one at Oxford!) - and is a science fiction/horror writer - see some of his work at: http://www.eternalnight.co.uk/fiction/2002F/thefinalact.html
