April 2009 1st Open Fun Junior One Way Clout

Thankfully the weather was kind enabling everyone to enjoy the experience.
Our Lord Paramount Graham Rowberry demonstrated the weapons and tactics used by medieval archers and later awarded the cups and medals. For many of the participants this was their first attempt at a clout shoot but they were in fine form shooting 2 county records and a WB club age group record. Finally refreshments were enjoyed with proceeds helping towards our 'Guide Dogs for the Blind' fund.
