14th March 2004 Shoot in the Forest of Dean Margam and Bosworth . Good to meet up with old friends. As usual the weather was an inportant factor....YUCK!! Very few stayed the course, but as many meetings before a good day for all who attended. Well done to the brave few who completed the clout, MAD FOOLS. Thank you Rod and his good lady for setting up the day.

Battle Field Britain introduced by Peter and Dan Snow. Nice one to Margam Archers and all visiting friends that made their film debut and were seen through out the UK on Friday 20th August. BBC 2 The program concentrated on 1400, when the greatest hero of medieval Welsh history emerged, to show that independent aspirations had not disappeared, and Wales was still far from a centrally administered part of the English state. Owain Glyn Dwr led a revolt that, for a while, extended his authority across all Wales. But as the program went on to explain went very close and even invaded England as we know not for long. Perhaps the Welsh had the last laugh after all,
for Henry of course, was a Tudor; a Welshman. As Merlin had predicted,
the Welsh once again ruled England. |

THE BOWMEN OF BOSWORTH 5th SEPTEMBER 2004 A Tribute black arrow was loosed as a mark of respect to Bob a member of The Bowmen of Bosworth who recently passed away. He was a good friend to many of us at Margam who will remember him with fondness. Our condolences go to his family and friends. |

Best Place For Them
Lovely Ladies of Bosworth Another great day was spent in the company of The Bowmen of Bosworth, and other invited clubs that had to compete in various archery events. Where do they get their ideas? They had picked one of the hottest days this year, and with us all dressed in our finery we quietly melted in the sunshine. As you can see in the picture the heat got to Alan of Margam, so he went fishing. At the end of a great shoot we banqueted with fare prepared by the Ladies and Gentlemen of Bosworth. As usual a great day was had by all many thanks for inviting us.

16th October 2004 End of Season Shoot. There were 22 targets set up around Margams field, something quite challenging. Although the weather stayed fine, The Stoop was given a miss this time. It was great to see some of the newer members to Margam Archers sample their first field shoot and the general impression was that they look forward to the next one! Thanks for the new score sheets from Terry Robinson. The BBQ as always was first class and a great success again. A BIG THANK YOU to Chris and Jane Church . Thanks must also go to the people who worked hard setting out the course for this shoot and all the previous events. The repairing of the foot bridges, much appreciated by all! This shoot ended the outdoor season and a big thankyou to Christine Tudor for all the Tournaments and events organised in the Park this year.

A happy set of archers, turned up for the annual pumpkin shoot or Tattie Bogle (If any body knows what a Tattie Bogle is please tell me) Great food, Good company and plenty of Mulled Wine...and plenty of mud! Which leads me to thank all that helped to drag my car out of the muddy mess. Thank you Alan for the setting up of targets, John for cooking, Terry for the Mulled Wine, Helen for all her help and all the Pumpkins that donated their short lives to us for the evening. Winners of the Tattie Bogle Fun Shoot were, John Rawles and Hollie Williams. Well done to them both. |
