SHERWOOD ARCHERS BRAMLEY NEWS

Our indoor shooting ended with the Indoor Championships, when forty members took part. The champions are: Martyn Smith [recurve], Jon McLaughlin [compound], Fred Kirkham [longbow], Peter Burns [barebow], Malcolm Douglas [novice]. Junior champions are George Smith[recurve], Adam McLaughlin[compound], Reece Buckland[longbow] , with best novice awards to Tim Gosling and Nikesh Mistry.

Fourteen junior members took part in a special Easter Holiday tournament at our field. For several of them this was their first ,and furthest outdoor tournament. This was an enjoyable event for everyone, not only for the shooting, but also for the cricket match and barbecue at lunchtime!
