After drawing lots for order of shooting and promptly at 11 o'clock in dull, warm weather with light breeze shooting began. The first item of note was that with his first arrow Mr D M Holt did pierce the red thus becoming Lieutenant, but be it noted, that with his fifth arrow he did pierce the inner gold thus winning the Captaincy of the Arrow and therefore relinquished the Lieutenancy to Mr G N Barstow who had had the second best red at the first end. Shooting continued for two hours after which lunch was partaken at the nearby 'Lawnswood Arms' followed by the A.G.M. The retiring Captain W Wales in his address issued a challenge to the foremost Archers in the country to come forward and compete for England's Oldest Sporting Trophy and put the competition where it rightly belonged, at the top of the Archery Calendar.
