Broadland Bowmen Christmas Shoot 18 December 2005
Report from ‘Pugwash’
We were both delighted and a little nervous to welcome a record number of 70 archers to the shoot - and somewhat relieved when we found that both the car park and the food supplies were sufficient for the extra visitors. Everyone seemed to enjoy the course of 17 3Ds and a hanging monkey, cunningly laid out by Jimmy (the course not the monkey). There was a crisp layer of snow and the descriptions of the sparkling weather varied from ‘Christmassy’ to ‘freezing cold’. According to those guests from Suffolk and other subtropical parts we were an island of winter in a warm sea. Eventually it became clear that the host of archers would not get round all 36 targets before dark so we had to ask everyone to stop at 28. Despite this there were no complaints and the decision was generally welcomed, especially by those whose fingers and noses were turning blue as the afternoon grew colder.
A hearty vote of thanks goes to all the members who helped to make the shoot a success especially Jimmy for the cunning course and Paul, Ellen, and Fiona for keeping us fed and watered, and Janet for her usual delicious cakes.
