Today saw the Knockout competition with 16 archers shooting. It got off to a 'moist' start. . .
Everyone stuck out the rain and it eventually cleared up for the finals between Arthur and Laurence for the Plate and Annie and Jane for the Trophy with Annie the overall winner and Arthur taking the Plate.
The winners, Annie with the Trophy and Arthur with the plate 
A big thank you to Roy, Annie, Steve, Mike, Sandie, Trevor and Ali for preparing the field for the Mushroom Shoot today. Annie uses her tongue to guide the line marker! 
Saturday afternoon saw the annual Fun Shoot organised by Pete and Cis this year. The turnout was disaponting with just 19 shooting but everyone enjoyed themselves. Best Lady Lynn Lamb, best Gent Martin Jones, best junior Boy Austin Stone, best junior Girl Rebecca Jones, 3 Birdies (ie lowest) Tony Silver Annie Humphrey Derek Howe, Greediest and cultists Olivia Humphrey, Some very funny stances and actions were to be seen. The pendulum went down well Brian and Lawrence were partners and the target at times went behind the Butts.
