Christine Jordan from LSFWI’s Sport and Leisure committee said: “It was a fantastic day. We even had one elderly lady who came up with her walking stick to have a go - and she got several bullseyes. It was great to see so much confidence.

“The Maltsters Archery Club were really great - so professional and friendly and the weather was good to us too .”

Debbie Venn, federation chair added: “It’s great to see so many of our members from across the Federation with differing abilities enjoying today’s archery session.
