Clive and David took part in the 2022 Bath Albion, which hadn’t been run for two years because of Covid, and after a very enjoyable shoot with bright sunshine for most of the day, Clive finished in Third, winning the Bronze medal with a score of 794 and 38 golds. David finished fourth with a score of 772 and 41 golds which was a personal best for the Albion round.

I thought the evening was off to a bad start when the bar had no cider for my shandy.

However the lager was ok and the evening progressed with Sophie’s music to break the silence, my singing distracting Clair, Simon finding he scored twice as many without his new clicker as with and Clive adjusting his bracing height each end.

However I think we all enjoyed ourselves and the best thing was, by the end of the evening we had all talked Charlotte into entering the Somerset Indoor competition as part of team South Wansdyke with Harriett and Sophie.

Five archers from South Wansdyke Archery Club competed in the 2021 Battle of Britain Archery Tournament at Burnham Company of Archers. It was perfect shooting weather, and was a really enjoyable and well organised competition. It was a WA 1440 round, shot over around six hours with breaks in between each shooting distance.

Sophie came third overall in the Ladies Recurve with a score of 1154, and was the highest scoring Ladies Somerset Archer at the competition. Harriet came fifth overall with a score of 1031.

Andy came ninth overall in the Gents Recurve with a score of 1049, and David came tenth with a score of 1007.

Clair, shooting her new Compound bow, scored 1137, and came fifth in the Ladies Compound.
