Hello Archers and Recruits!!
Welcome to the first edition of the Archers Newsletter!! It has been a long time coming, but it is finally here!!! and should be here for your viewing pleasure monthly ;D
Our latest news from the regiment is that we have a new Post Recruitment Scheme which has proved highly successful, with 5 recruits joining us during May and June. Although the scheme is undergoing constant improvement and some temporary measures we hope its success will continue well into the next year
The scheme focuses on the idea of some of the archers being Assassins, with two brotherhoods and a leadership core which is separate to the normal regimental leadership team, offering archers new ways of gaining rank and power within the regiment. The scheme is based around the Band’s Org Game and Odette’s Assassin’s Game which is currently undergoing development to make it better than ever before. The scheme allows archers to stretch their abilities and gain both Org points and assassin experience through role play in order to reach the highest ranks and run the secretive Conclave of Shadows. There are future plans to expand the post recruitment scheme to those who do not wish to take the assassins route and just be a normal archer. This will eventually involve the Schools, and will be developed when we have sufficient numbers.
Helike has developed a sister school to Blade’s School of Archery. Helike’s School of Daggers opened its doors at the beginning of last term and has already put many recruits and banders through their paces. If you would like to come and play, visit the subboard in the main archer forum and you could win a medal!
We have also made some progress with the Band’s Museum; however a new Curator is needed!! you can be any rank but you must also be an archer! please pm me (North Star) telling me why you want the job and what you would bring to the museum. the museum was set up to record the bands achievements, members, events, madness and art work through the ages. the project is ultimately run by the archer staff and the Curator with representatives from the cavalry and infantry. I am also pleased to announce that Bridmorgan has volunteered to be the cavalry rep, however one from the infantry is needed!! watch your boards
The Archers have many other pursuits in progress, including a new game called “Ready. Aim. Shoot the lie” which allows us to learn more about each other and other banders, and was developed by Odette. To find out more about these please visit the main archer forum.
The Archer came second in last months Regimental Competition!! A new competition is about to get underway where we have to guess the holiday destination our MG has given us!! Please go to the Private boards to see how to take part!! we are already doing very well thanks to our lovely Odette!!
What is certain is that the Archers are once again making waves within the Band of the Red Hand!
