Purton Evening WI
July 2017
Our July Meeting was all about Archery and Targets. Our speaker for the evening was Shelia Walker, who was accompanied by Chris Compton, both very keen Archers. They are members of the U3A and joined a thriving group of Archers at Roves Farm at Sevenhampton near Swindon. Roves Farm has both indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, but Shelia’s favourite shooting course is in the forest, targeting cut outs of animals – ranging from large deer to small squirrels. Shelia and Chris had also brought along some Bows and Arrows for us to see and they explained about technique, safety, and the materials used to make them.
After the business for the evening, we tried our hands at various Target Games – Darts, Quoits and Hoop La. They all looked easy, but that wasn’t necessarily the case!
Our September Meeting will be on Wednesday 20th September in the Village Hall, when we will welcome Linda Buckland and her beautiful Hearing Dog Fidgey. We hope to find out how these very clever and caring dogs can help us in our everyday lives. This looks like it will be a very interesting and informative evening, so if you would like to come along and join us, we would be very pleased to see you.
