Have-a-Go Session 10th July 2009 Organised By Mount St Mary's College, Spinkhill.

Encore une fois.......(once again) we were asked if we could provide a have-a-go session for French students attending summer school at Mount St Mary's College, at very short notice ( two days!), well, how can we refuse those who have helped us?

We were able to muster three Sherwood Forresters to help at such short notice. We arrived at 2.00 pm to discover the 50 children had become 100! We split the children into smaller groups and finally finished at 5.30pm with all the youngsters having a couple of goes. I reckon some of them managed at least three goes :)

It was hard yet very rewarding work, it gives an archer a good feeling when people enjoy themselves so much with something that seems so simple.

We presented to Malc Lucas the Business Manager of Mount St Mary's College an authentic war arrow to say thank you for all the time, effort, support and trust he and the College have put into
the Sherwood Forresters Longbow Archery Club, what did he do with said arrow? Shot it into the Deer's rump!!!! Mind you it was a mighty fine shot!
