Report
The new venue for the champs this year was South Craven School in the small village of Cross Hills in the Yorkshire Dales.
The setting was beautiful with weather to match, the sun was out and hardly any wind in the morning, but with a slight breeze after lunch.
Forty one archers attended and shooting was under way after a short delay of 15 minutes giving the archers time to find the new venue.
Sherry & cake was served after two dozen with lunch after six dozen.
Raffle tickets were sold by our youngest archer Thomas Powell and made £74 towards the cost of the Tournament. Well done Thomas!
Shooting re-commenced at 1-15 and again there was sherry after two dozen. The shoot was soon over and all the scores gathered in.
Eighteen trophies and twenty three medals were awarded on the day and for anyone who didn’t win, well there is always the raffle.
My thanks go out to Aire Valley Archers who made it all possible and I hope they will invite us back next year. To Sean Gleeson and his assistant Keith who made the shoot so enjoyable, Freddie Fairfield for helping me to get the results out so quickly and last but not least thank you to Keith Morrison for being our Lord Patron.
