Saturday saw Belvoir Archers host their 5th Winter Windsor. The weather gods were with us, so was Bernie Dicks on his 50 (again) birthday. We had a record breaking 68 archers booked in for the October shoot, with only 2 non shows on the day.
The Lord Paramount for the day was Chris Joyce, Chairman of Belvoir Archers, and our Judges were Mario Stankovic and Christopher Lowe (on his last formal judging duty in Belvoir Archers before the family depart for their new lives in Australia in January).
Everyone shot on our new foam layered targets, funded by recent training venue grant by Sport England. Some Regional and County records were broken or equalled, which means more work for Sue Haynes our County and Regional Records Officer.
Darren, who had only finished his beginners course 5 weeks ago, shot for the first time and took a number of photos which can be seen here WINTER WINDSOR PHOTOS

Simon Holmes did try to convert his compound into a weather vane by throwing it up the field to see which way the wind was blowing.. Continue reading
