MOTHERSDAY - FUN DAY

As you know Mothersday was last Sunday, 13 May, as always the club had a fun shoot.
In the morning, the black range was shot, which had looney tunes targets on the odd butt, if you hit any where on the looney tune targets you recieved an A.
After lunch, a large dart board target was shot at and then a
game called bowker, (poker). It had playing cards glued to a large piece of cardboard and you had to shoot five arrows and try to hit five cards.
Thank you ASH, for your great imagination
It was a beautiful sunny day and fun was had by all.

THANK YOU

A big thanks to Alex for looking after the web page for me while I, Irene, had a little time out.

Well done one and all. You've done your club proud.

Also a big thank you goes out to Jeff Edwards and the crew from Maitland for setting up a well organised shoot. Too bad about the downpour on day two but we can't really blame them for that.
