zotzWell, I've been out playing at bows and arrows again, and it turns out that the folk from the archery club like me. In fact, they like me so much that they gave me a bottle of wine. Which is nice.
Their pretext was that I'd outshot the rest of the course, which in a tediously technical sense I had - by 20 points (a score of 410 for a Portsmouth round (5 dozen arrows, so a maximum possible score of 600) over 20 metres). They implied that this wasn't so bad for a third session, which was very nice of them.
It turns out that one of their weekly shoots is within walking distance of the house. So . . . do I join their club or not?

And how right he was. Take a bow, Simon . . .
