The chips are done!

Saturday morning dawned wet and windy. So wet and windy, in fact, that most archers opted for the dry safety of home, rather than venture out onto the field to contest the “Chip and Pin”. So few new members were there in fact that the trophies were won without a shot being loosed.
The winners were:-
Chip and Pin – Martin Wynne
John Mirfield Plaque – Bradley Jackson
 

The Frostbite

Nonetheless, there was still some archery to perform. The first half took the form of a “Frostbite” round (3 doz at 30 metres), and was used to determine who should hold the trophies for this month. The results in this tussle were:-
Iceberg (Ladies) – Nicky Oakley – 269
Icicle (Gente#s) – Paul Winfield – 301
Iciclette (Juniors) – Tom Oakley – 284
Pine Splinter (Longbows) – Rod Wood – 995

An interlude

We now paused for the consumption of bacon butties (provided by Roger) and ample tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits. We do love our food.

The Dead Spider

There was yet more to do. As there were not enough inexperienced archers to make the usual “Pro/Am” teams, we decided to simply draw pairs and decide the winners on handicap. The results were over the whole round, which was a Short Metric III (or IV if you were Vish and Bradley), incorporating the scores from the earlier Frostbite bit.
The convincing winners, by over 60 points were Sue Burgess and Paul Winfield, who had both shot above their par score
