14th October - Severn Valley Yeoman Foresters
Report by Martin Cane
ON A VERY frosty morning Severn Valley greeted 169 archers to our second shoot of the year, which consisted
of 40 3Ds and paper faces. By mid morning the sun came - and stayed out for most of the day.
Thanks to our course layers - Steve K, Colin, Robin and Steve P on one side, and Paul and myself on the
other.
The lay-out of the long leopard and shorter tiger was intentional as we wanted to see what happened, which
was archers misjudging and shooting over the top of the tiger. From the comments afterwards most of you
enjoyed yourself (and that’s the main thing).
On the catering side, again Deb pulled out all the stops and produced another grand display of goodies, which
I’m sure you’ll agree she didn’t let you down and is deserving of her reputation, so many thanks to Deb and her
crew. Thanks also to our members who worked before the shoot and on the day as marshals, admin, car parking
etc, making sure everything went to plan. So again thanks to you all.
Well that’s about it for another year, so we at Severn Valley wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a
healthy new year and thank you for taking the trouble to travel long distances for some of you and some not
so far to attend our shoots - we really do appreciate it.
See you all 22nd April 2013.

WE WERE rewarded with a fine sunny day following a very wet period late on Saturday and through the
night. This unfortunately left the ground wet and slippery, but despite this everyone managed to negotiate
the course - set in 50 acres of SSSI protected rolling woodland - without incident.
43 archers from 11 clubs and six independent archers booked in for the shoot. All were welcomed and most
enjoyed the bacon sandwiches and breakfast rolls.
