It turned out to be a glorious day on Sunday as the four clubs of Farnham, Woking, Alton and Four Marks (that's us), and Guildford fought valiantly to take home the FWAG club trophy for 2016.

On Saturday 11th April, 3 teams travelled to Crawley to compete in the Sussex County Archery Association 2015 Indoor Open Team Event. Alton and Four Marks Archers entered two senior teams and one junior team. The event was held at the amazing K2 sports centre which dwarfs Alton Sports Centre! The main hall was set up length ways with about 27 teams of 4 entered.
Before the shooting started Katie, Sophie and I were looking around at the archery stalls outside at some unusual archery equipment etc. we saw a strange green ‘cover’ which none of us could place as archery equipment so Katie asked the shop keeper what it was…… “an i pad case” was the answer!! Obviously the next piece of must have archery kit is an i pad (hey Mum and …
