Here at Weir Archery we are obviously really missing archery during lockdown. Covid-19 has obviously closed us down along with thousands of other businesses whilst we are all in lockdown. Leigh has been finding different things to do to keep archery going for him and I have been coming up with different things we can do as a business to keep the business going, including blogging more often and monetising the blog (see amazon ad above) from now on our posts may include affiliate links, clicking on these may earn us a small commission but it does not affect the price you pay and it really does help support our business.
The reason I chose an Amazon Prime advert as our very first ad is because we have been watching a whole lot of it! We are currently watching Mr Robot which is pretty interesting but only give it a go if you are a tech geek like me or it probably wont make much sense. Leigh loves Supernatural but I am really not into that type of thing. Leigh loves TV and movies almost as much as he likes archery!
There is even archery on Prime including the world cup!
I am still working, thankfully I can work from home and we have spent quite a lot of time converting the spare room into something that resembles an office and I have had to get over my dislike of talking on the phone pretty quickly since that is now all I do all day. Leigh obviously can’t do any classes just now, but we have some exciting ideas coming up including a video series and more content on the blog.
We are also using the downtime to source better venues with more availability for us to hold classes in once the coronavirus lockdown is over and we are seriously considering trying to get our own place which would allow us to have more equipment since we wouldn’t need to move it about all the time and would give us complete flexibility as to when we run classes.
For now though we are just thankful that we are safe, we are of course disappointed that we cannot run classes right now but we are very safety conscious in our day to day business and safety remains our top priority. We will not start running classes again until the government advice allows and it is safe to do so.
Until we can start running again we would love to keep in touch with you more via the blog, videos and our social media channels so please do share your lockdown tips with us – in our next post we will be showing you some archery related things you can do in lockdown.
