Unfortunately - due to the adverse weather conditions, there is not going to be any shooting at Four Marks today.
To make up for it here is a large picture of a snowman courtesy of Wikipedia:

I hope everyone has a safe Snowday (and maybe make a better snowman than the above)
I'm sorry if this did not appear immediately/earlier when I attempted to post this to the website - this was due to an error my part. - Richard

Super Hero Shoot
- by Katie Hughes
Sunday was too wet to shoot but a few of us managed to send a couple of dozen arrows on their way down the range. Thankfully Catherine was on hand to make hot drinks and fab cake to refresh us and raise money for ATLA, the only charity in the country that supports and trains people to teach adults lip reading. Thanks to Paul there is a picture of SuperHughes shooting with her Special power, positivity!!
If you have any other photos - please do send them in and I'll thankfully put them up instead of this one :)
