We had a good day at the Anniversary Picnic today and the weather was kind to us if not a little breezy.

There was a good turnout with 48 members, past members and friends and it was good to catch up with some old faces again.

A dozen archers from Sway Bowmen shot at the weeknd on a sunny and glorius day at Exbury Gardens for the Waterside Open Tournament and came home with a great performance from all who attended. The seniors
