In automn 2018 the Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat a participated at the "Forum des associations" organised by the communauté des commune in Nontron and at "Sports pour les séniors " on the beach of the Grand-Etang de Saint-Estèphe.

Here some pictures

New images from the Compagnie des Archers du Bandiat are on: "Archers du Bandiat, galerie photos". The links to google photos still work. I thought of using flickr but from 2019 on you have to pay if you want to upload more then 1.000 pictures. Using a private website is cheaper.
