I would like to thank the members of The Longbow Club and everyone who attended the 7th Poulton Hall Rove.
We could not have asked for better weather, even escaping most of the rain that started just after the shoot. We hope that you enjoyed the day and look forward to welcoming you all back in April for the Geoff Trimble Memorial Rove.

A fantastic day at Poulton Hall for The Longbow Clubs’ Autumn Rove.
The weather was forecast rain until lunchtime, then brighten up, but then a downpour around 3pm. However, we got some drizzle in the morning as we assembled but then it cleared and the sun came out and it stayed dry all day.
Thank you to the members for all their help and support in making the day so enjoyable. Thank you to Alison for the flapjacks and to Katrina for the cakes.
But the biggest thank you is to all the archers who attended. without you, this event events would not be possible.

A great day roving at Poulton Hall with lovely company. The thick fog didn’t help much, especially at the pond where Alison decided she was going to ‘Kill the pond’, which she did in true Longbow style.
The thick fog and the eerie quietness made for an unbelievable end of year Rove.

Many thanks for this. It was a super day out and I’m looking forward to your next Rove. Hopefully by then I will be able to pull a few more pounds.
