Poulton Hall – Autumn 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.

Just a short note to thank you and all your ‘team’ for organising such a great day. Vic and I were really pleased to have taken part and look forward to hearing about the ones you hope to organise next year. We returned to our hotel, tired but happy- once again, thanks for a really great day.
Thank you again for all yours and the teams efforts. I would say it was a resounding success and Karen and I look forward to your next one
Wow! Best. Day’s. Rove. Evar!

Thank you for an excellent day Roving, great course and great organisation. It was so nice to finally get a few arrows away and spend the day with you all
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.
I am disappointed I wasn’t able to shoot this afternoon but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed the morning shoot. Thank you to you, Katrina and all your colleagues for an excellent day’s shooting. I look forward to news of your event in February.
An awesome gathering of likeminded friends today – was fantastic to see everyone together again! Thank you to everyone for organising a brilliant shoot.
