Macleay-Vegas Indoor shoot 30/4/11

Hi everybody. First a little house keeping. To days working Bee has had to be moved & the same with the general meeting. Will post news on these important events as they become available. Alistair has developed a spread sheet that will allow us to run a handicap event as often as we like. The program was trialled & the only problem seemed to be I came second. Thanks Alastair for all your efforts, I can only imagine how many hours went into it.

The Boss & I left home in bright sunshine, after days of rain our driveway was under about 400mm of fast flowing water, the only real problem with this is that the bottom becomes unstable and very hard to keep traction. As we drove through Kempsey we saw a big black cloud and started to wonder if we would get home. On arrival at the club we met up with 4 other archers, Aaron was nowhere to be seen but his big black cloud was, first the rain came straight down with such volume that it was hard to see the cars parked about 5 meters away. Then the angle started to change till finally it was wetting the entire roofed area from one side to the other. The six of us fitted snugly in the canteen & only reappeared when the rain became normal again, at this stage the road was under about 50mm of running water, all the tables, chairs & books etc were drenched so we had lunch & a cuppa. We decided once again to hold the Macleay- Vegas indoor shoot, changed the rules slightly with the teams to be family members. As soon as this decision was made Josh sent out smoke signals and the Hodgman family arrived with the Harris family in the back seat, 3 minutes later the Smedley family arrived. Perfect 6 family teams and then BP Glenn arrived on his own.....no problems as the BP is an abrieviation for borrowed by Potters. Due to the lay out and volume of entrants we could only shoot 1 round which was 20 arrows, the same as we shoot on most Saturdays. The format allowed for plenty of socialising. Scores out of 200 were:-Teams Smedley & Hodgman 195, Team Apps 188, Team Potter & Freeman 182, Team McManus 180, Team Harris 160.

Individual out of 100

Coins Alastair & Feathers Dave 99, Sponge Tim 98, Don't mention me Steve & don't tie with me Brett 97, Cola Karen 96, Security Josh 95, Grandad Cec 93, Old Dry Fire Gloria & BP Glenn 91, Rooster Ray 81, Beau 63

Just a quick thankyou Last month we set a new record with over 900 hits on this site for the month. Thank you it really makes the weekly distortion of the truth worth while.

Cheers 2points
