The Clerks Report | ||
On the day of the 292nd Antient Scorton Arrow Shoot, the 20th May, the sun was promising a perfect day, warm; dry with a gentle breeze. Time for assembly, The Captain, The Judges, Denis Heritage and Paul Senior, and the Clerk give their usual talk to the assembled hopefuls. The Captain and Lieutenant, George Brown and Derek Wilcock, shoot first. There is a hush over the field, some of the Gentlemen heave a sigh of relief, neither Gold nor Red has been hit. This however is soon to be rectified; both are taken in the first few ends, The Captain's Arrow by Andrew Neal of Selby Archers, The Lieutenant's Bugle by Brian Hill of Harvester Archers. The rest of the field can breath again. After two hours a generous Buffet was consumed, washed down with an ample supply of liquid. Shooting resumed at 3.30pm ('twas a long meeting). The lady scorers, resplendent in their Gazebos were quite happy not to be holding down the tents, after last years howling gales. 63
Archers out of 72 entrants took to the field, 35 of whom were Longbowmen.
The Captain made known his intention of presenting the contents of the
swear to his local Salvation Army at Mansfield, £36.36 being the
amount collected. After the usual thanks and appreciation for the Buffet
and all the help received from Chantry B/III, Dearne Valley A/C and John
Seddon. The Captain's Lady Mrs Eileen Brown presented the Trophies and
Sweepstakes. |
