Christmas Fun Shoot
We held our Christmas fun shoot on 18th December.  Heads and tales scoring was lots of fun and meant anyone was in with a chance! Simon won with a score of 323, followed by Pat on 316 and Gray on 300.  We had some excellent fancy dress and a raffle to add to the fun. Unfortunately quite a few members were unable to attend due to covid.
