Thank you to all the volunteers that supported this event, once again it went like clockwork and as usual our judges Richard Jones and Adrian Gifkins were ‘very user friendly’ and helped deliver a very enjoyable day.
Our Judges provided 5 Star support.
In the interest of balance encouraging entries was harder than it should have been and with Deer Park providing 77% of the entries that was disappointing.
Lots of younger juniors with a good mix of experience.
Therefore it was not surprising that we took 16 of the 22 titles! Cleve also did very well with 4 of their 6 archers winning! Once again there were more female than male entries, which seems to be a consistent pattern in Gloucestershire. Also there was a good number of first time in formal competition entrants so that is also a positive.
Part of afternoon audience, lots of refreshments available.
James Howse recorded 590 and Lucy Mason again equaled the National Record with 587. A special mention for Antony Wiseman from Fast & Loose who won the Boys under 18 Recurve, he has switched from left to right handed and adapted really well.
Every arrow counts, not quite but most did!
Last weeks Club Target Portsmouth combined with this event should hopefully set our juniors up for the British Junior Championships in a couple of weeks time.

To ensure the event was as cost effective as possible spare places were taken by adults, congratulations to John Craigie who recorded a PB shooting longbow with a creditable score.
John Craigie did some great shooting at the event.

Club Prize Draw/Raffle
Will take place on the 19th December at a fun shoot with lots of refreshments. We are hoping to get somewhere near the £2000 target we set ourselves earlier in the year. A big thank you to all the companies that have donated prizes.
And there are even more prizes than listed!
Good luck to Graham
