3RD. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
WAND COMPETITION
HELD AT RABY CASTLE
CO. DURHAM
BY KIND PERMISSION OF
LORD BARNARD
6TH. Of JULY 2008
————————————

What can you say about the rain, it rained for most of the day except when we were not shooting, (during the eating of great fare, the food was rather good). Although there was a break at the end when the shoot offs were taking place, as we were clearing up we got the biggest down pour of the day.

All of the competitors were in good spirits and came to make a day of it regardless of the weather. Most of the prizes were won by Archers of the Tees. That will be the secret training we had the night before at the club bar-b-cue. Drink, drink, and more drink and a little food, so no doubt there will be plenty of practicing going on for next year.

I would like to thank all of Archers of the Tees for their unending patience, work and skill at keeping me out of the road while they get on with a proper job. Cheers! See you next year!

Fred Bates for Archers of the Tees.
