Obituary Dave Worsdall IT IS with great sadness that I have to announce the passing of Dave Worsdall, a much loved member of Hanson Bowmen. Many of you may know Dave as “Mr Magoo” or “the big man”, but one thing for sure, there was never a dull moment when Dave was around. You could always tell Dave was about; all you had to do was follow the moans and groans. Dave used to shoot compound, but swapped to crossbow due to a bad back, yet despite this he did all he could at work days up at the wood. I think one of the best stories of Dave which truly showed his personality was when we were shooting around Shipley, one of my first few shoots. Dave was still shooting compound at the time and we came to a short shot of a beaver. The rest of the group shot whilst Dave was trying to find the picture. Dave came up to the peg, shot and walked away confidentially. My dad (Chris) turned round to Dave and said: “Mate that’s a stump”. Dave stood there and said: “Oh, begger”, and walked over to the white peg. He shot again, went to walk off when Chris said: “Dave, that’s the other stump”. At this point we were trying not to giggle. Dave then walked to the blue peg, shot and said: “That’s it you begger. I’ve got you this time.” Chris turned round to Dave and said: “That’s the third stump.” The rest of the group couldn’t hold it in anymore, we just burst into laughter.

personality was when we were shooting around Shipley, one of my first few shoots. Dave<br />
