The Fun Shoot on Saturday went very well with perfect weather. Steve and the kids did a fantastic job producing some great targets.

2008 Fun Shoot

As we were having a Tea Party afterwards, we asked
people to wear something beginning with a 'T' and there were some good ideas. 'T' for tummy perhaps?

Hmm, Brian, was it 'T' for Tummy?

We had 32 archers shooting and at the end of the shoot we held a Tea Party with
all proceeds going to Oakhaven Hospice. In all we raised £121.70 so well done to everyone. The Tea Ladies

Oh and by the way, Martin Jones won the shoot after consulting the very complicated rules
for the event and applying the various handicaps and allowances! (I think Steve pulled the name out of a hat!!)
