The wind was very blustery but not as bad as last year when we had to stop shooting at lunchtime.

Thank you to all from Croesoswallt Archers for an excellent day.

Despite some heavy showers a good time was had by all!
A Metric today on the final day of the Triclout. The wind was very difficult again but we all had a great time. Katrina Horton and Chris Eccles were both 3rd today and Katrina, Alison and Chris won the Longbow Supreme Champions Club Team trophy. Steve Williams’ longbow stand was much admired as usual!
Fun at the Triclout today, 2 down, 1 to go. Katrina Horton was 1st Lady Longbow for the 2-way Imperial yesterday. Today was the 1-way Imperial. Katrina was the Cheshire Champion Lady Longbow and 1st in the English National awards and Chris Eccles was the Cheshire Champion Gents Longbow. Alison Williams was 2nd Cheshire Lady Longbow and Katrina, Alison and Chris won the Longbow Team award.
A great day at the Blundellsands clout today with friends old and new.
The weather was not as windy as it usually is, and it was warm enough for shorts…..that is until just after the presentation as we were packing up, the heavens opened.
Congratulations to Katrina Horton 1st Lady Longbow and Longbow Team winner along with partner Chris Eccles.
Great fun at the Cumbria Metrics at Penrith this weekend, but it was so hot! We usually moan about the wind but this time I would have welcomed a bit more.
All the Lady Longbows were on the same target which meant we had a riotous time!
Nina Horton was 2nd Lady Longbow and Steve Williams was 3rd Gent Longbow.
It’s a pity there wasn’t an ice-cream van there – it would have made a fortune!
