First Rove of Summer and with overcast skies and hint of rain it felt more like the end of September. Andy is looking forward to Autumn when the tree will shed his 2 arrows he managed to lodge there, at least he knows where they are !! Grass is growing and arrows getting harder to find, still, a good Morning in good Company.

Near the end of Spring, today five gathered to enjoy the sunshine ? Enjoy perhaps not, as it sapped the strength, us Brits are not used to these sudden changes !! I was clobbered at the end lol. We welcomed visitor Jason who gave us a lesson with the Manchu Warbow and considering he has not shot our Marks before did verry well. Jason would have loved all these various traditions coming together. Onwards !! ☘️

In the wake of storm Dave just five took to the fields for an Easter Rove, as I did last year I will let Jason say the words................." As the bells of Chapletown village call the good to sit beneath cold vaulted stone this Easter Sunday, we wandered across fields beneath bright blue skies vaulted with clouds in a chill northerly breeze. At Mark and Butt we shot, bows long and short. Fine weather, the best of traditions and the very best of company. If you're celebrating Easter, Celebrating having a holiday or just Celebrating some fine weather. Here's to you, enjoy....", thanks Jason, I couldn't say it better !!
