The weather was overcast but in the main, dry. This was most welcome following the wettest summer in 100 years. During the months preceding the shoot the club had received large amounts of donated foam and wood, which Steve, Charlie, Tugg and Dean made into bosses ready for our first shoot. This was a huge effort over many months, and was key to enabling the shoot to take place. The course was laid out around the fields, orchards, lake and quarry of Bush Farm. Again, a huge effort from Steve, Charlie, Tugg and Dean, both in laying the course and in clearing the site following the shoot. Club catering was most excellent and enjoyed by all. A big thanks to Jan, Tugg and Kerry for all their efforts before the shoot, especially with the home baking, and on the day. Admin went well, enabling the shoot to start on time, and the shoot flowed well throughout the day. Results were announced and medals were presented by Jan, our Lady Paramount for the day. The shoot ended by 5pm, enabling an early journey home. The shoot itself received some positive feedback on the whole, along with some helpful and constructive criticism. This has been noted and will be put into practice for our next shoot. Many thanks to Mr Stuart Renfree, our landlord, and many thanks to all archers who attended. We look forward to seeing you all again at our next shoot.

With about 80 archers everything went well and everyone said how much they had enjoyed shooting the course, which had some very challenging targets. The food was well received and included pork baps with stuffing and apple sauce - very popular indeed. We were well supported, as always, by Severn Valley, our sister club from across the A449. I would like to thank everyone who helped on the day with the food and marshalling and also the course layers, who did an excellent job.

Many new and returning archers from all over the country were soon booking in and then queuing for their breakfast along with cups of tea or coffee. We managed to complete all the formalities and get people out to peg and started at about 10.15am. A course of 36 paper faces had been set out in our woodland, with all groups proceeding around the course until mid afternoon. We operated a ‘shoot through’, but many archers were able to stop and take in refreshments as they passed catering twice. Many competitors made very positive comments about the setting of a much shorter but challenging course, getting them tuned up for the forthcoming <strong>National</strong> Champs. Well done to our course layers and also many thanks to our team of club members who, along with all you visiting archers, made it a very worthwhile and enjoyable day. 41
