Wells City Archers

As a result of our hosting provider updating their platforms, it has been necessary to also update our site as the previous one became broken.

At present, the new site mostly works, but the appearance still has some problems, which we are trying to understand and resolve. Bear with us while we try and sort it out. This may mean the site goes up and down a few times while it is worked on.

This year we had only three club members taking part and one junior, as Danny had to withdraw at the last minute for work reasons. Again the tournament was hosted by Bowmen of Danesfield, who always seem to put on an excellent day. Ernie was rather nervous for an old hand, as he hadn't done any competitive shoots for well over three years, possibly longer. Our ringer this year was Lynne Evans, former Olympic archer (Munich 1972), also chairman of the GNAS, club President and member for many years.

This year was very well attended, with almost all the Somerset clubs represented and around 90 archers shooting. Again it was a very friendly shoot, with many first timers taking part. On my target was a gentleman who had only been in the sport for three months. He still won a prize though, for worst white.
