The Flodden Marks shoot.

The Flodden Marks Company of Longbowmen has been formed to continue the tradition of roving.

Autumn has arrived and with it Flodden 2026. Sadly not an open shoot this year but members and guests gathered to drink a toast to Jason and enjoy a testing 15 Marks. Rain at times did not dampen spirits and all had smiles on their faces at finish. Andy E received the Jason trophy and winner of the Flodden diamond was Ed with Dave B runner up, 5 points behind him. Thanks to all who supported and those who sent apologies for non attendance.

Sunday saw eight of us enjoying the late Summer sunshine. Guest Maddy arrived never having Roved before and has now found that Archery is not all about Archery GB and standing in front of the straw Boss. At the end she was on the Marks !!. Well done. ☘.

Those that could made the short journey to support our local Rove at Bolton Longbow Archers. This was organised at very short notice and Tad and team did their club proud !! Old friends well met, and the weather was kind to us, ideal shooting conditions and all who attended had a great day, thanks from all at Flodden, ☘ ☘

FLODDEN ROVE 2026 CANCELLED.......... I went into the pub last sunday to confirm catering for this years Rove only to be told that it was their last day of opening !! No warning nothing. I have spent time since trying to get more info and have managed to speak to a Landlord who 'may' be taking it over. He is talking to the Brewry and nothing is definite, even if he does take it on the pub requires work to get it back to a 'proper pub'. So it would not be open by the 6th Sep. Verry sorry for this but as Jason would have said, 'It is what it is'.

Farmer Jay and team have been hard at it and we arrived today to find the grass cut. .This made life easier for the Archers but still some arrows misplaced !! Three Manchu bows in play , the breeze was welcome and a good Morning had by all.

Happy Fathers Day to them that is !! Seven enjoyed ? the Summer Solstice Rove. Heat, humidity, long grass, biting flies, trying to stick arrows in walls and bird nesting, all in this mornings ramble.

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 !! ☘️
