The
Grantshouse
Archery Club's Championship
held at
Renton House
(by kind
permission of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Haywood)
on Saturday
1st September 2007
|
|
|
The beautiful gardens of Renton
House were the ideal setting for the Archery Club's September
Championship in 2007.
A shaded area provided the
competitors with a perfect spot from which to take aim!
|
 |
The slightly raised bank at the
side of the lawn gave the visiting spectators a perfect view of
the contest too. |
| Most of the members took part
and several local residents came to watch the contest, including
Christopher and Jeannie Haywood and their lovely dog! |
 |
Three targets were erected at
varying distance for the competitors of all ages. All were very
keen to view their scores when the whistle blew. |
| Everyone found the competition
very enjoyable and the weather was almost perfect until towards
the end of the contest, when a breeze whipped a few arrows away
and above the targets into the woods. Fortunately, they were all
recovered bar one, at the end of the day! |
| Walter, his son, Keith and
daughter Lorna, kept the records and added the final scores.
Jeannie Heywood kindly
presented all the medals, including |
 |
 |
the Presidents Shield, a new
trophy presented to the Club by Walter Wyse.
Awarded to the
member he considers has most improved during the year, Lynn
Wight was surprised and very delighted to be the first to win
the shield. >

^ Doug Forrest achieved the
highest score and was the Champion of the day!
Many thanks to Jeannie and
Christopher Haywood for hosting the event and to Walter, Meg,
Keith and Lorna for organizing the Championship for the Club which was so
enjoyable and such a success. |
