I'll find out if I'm rota'd into work that weekend, otherwise I'll be there.
I'll bring my recurve.

I'd like to come along with my bows even if I am a relative new-comer to archery. I'm getting some professional tuition so should be up to speed by April. Will come in the Landie so access to the field should be fine. What's the view on youngsters ? - my lad is 12, very sensible and mad keen on archery

No problem.
Would you like some willow beasties Josh ?
Dharma, Fiona and I have been making willow structures, sheep, deer, birds, fishes.........they can be stuffed for targets. Takes time, but they're fun to make. Too big to take away from the site though.
As much as I (really)like the idea, the only place to store them would be the remaining barn but leaving things that burn in there would just encourage the neds.
[Edit] Scottie reckons I bear a grudge against the locals because my first impressions of the place were during the arson phase. Should mention to folk wanting to camp that he lived there for donkeys years with no bother.

That might be jolly handy for me John! Assuming you're OK with it after the last time, of course...
That's fine. Jane and the kids are interested in the day, so it's in the clalender now..This'll be a laugh.
It's quite tricky dreaming up a safe arrow friendly course. The "safe path" down to the bottom field is looking less likely by the minute and folk are going to have to bring or borrow flu-flus for a few of the shots. I'll make a bunch up.
It dawned on me that I use a lot of feather. When I try other folks bows at meets they tend to be fast arrows and fast arrows go further when you get a flier.
The farm eats skinny carbons by the way.
If someone has a decent metal detector you may want to bring it along too.

I've got one. It was supposed to be a decent one that I bought years ago in a Tandy sale. Russ and I had a go trying to find those big parachute pegs..........it works, sometimes
I'll pack it into the car and we'll see.
cheers.

I wouldn't mind coming along for this. I'll need to see if I can make up some sharps, as I only have blunt at the moment
