The Companye have returned from a really great weekend away at the Fairplay House activity centre who hosted us. It’s a great place, and a fantastic base for some autumn training. And we’ll admit it was rather nice not to have to pitch a tent in the dark after a friday evening drive (You’re getting old – Editor)
During the weekend we shoot a round of target archery which counts towards our annual Archer of Wolfage Manor award.
After some great shooting and a lot of fun, the scores for each day were as follows:
| Name | Household | Score | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| James “One Arrow” S. | Harrington / Cobham | 260 | Ashby De La Zouche Studmuffin. Form a queue ladies. |
| Chris D. Current Archer of Wolfage Manor | Harrington / Cobham | 240 | Adult |
| Ian L. | Cobham | 230 | Adult |
| Lenette W. | Harrington | Ant + 10 | Corby Girl |
| Ant F. | Harrington | 170 | Essex Boy |
| The Almighty KOF | Harrington | 150 | Legend |
| Matt C. | Harrington | 120 | Hologram |
| Alex “I am the future..” F. | Harrington | 110 | Junior |
| Arthur “beaten by the juniors” T. | Harrington | 90 | Large |
| Rachel “Ginge” P. | Harrington | 90 | Adult |
| Pete “Alec” B. | Harrington | 90* | Adult but disguises it really well. Note: Only shot half the course due to being American and arriving late to the war. |
| Edward F. | Harrington | 90 | Junior with Harmonica |
| Steph B. | Harrington | 70 | MENSA intellect. |
Day two was equally competitive and a lot of fun:
| Name | Household | Score | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chris D. Current Archer of Wolfage Manor | Harrington / Cobham | 345 | Adult |
| Pete “Alec” B. | Harrington | 310 | Adult |
| Arthur “Oh right that’s how it works, got it now” T. | Harrington | 270 | Adult |
| Matt C. | Harrington | 240 | Adult. But we don’t believe it |
| Alex F. | Harrington | 190 | Junior |
| Lenette W. | Harrington | 190 | Adult |
| Edward F. | Harrington | 150 | Junior |
| Ant F. | Harrington | 140 | Adult Note: Only shot half the course as was needed to hit Cobhams |

| Steph B. | Harrington | 110 | Adult |
| Rachel P. | Harrington | 85 | Adult |
| Shirley S. | Harrington / Cobham | 85 | Adult |
Which meant after two days the final standings looked like this:

The scores will go on to the rest of the shooting season, to be combined with other shoots before our January banquet so things may change before then!
Of course, it wasn’t just about the archery, it was great to do some combat as well. And praise must go to Tim the hardy Cobham for camping out!
It was a great chilled out weekend, just what we needed after a busy few months and we will definitely be returning to the site as part of our pre season activities.
General Note: Covid-19 precautions were in effect and all participants were lateral flow tested before arrival in accordance with current government advice and guidance.
No animals were harmed in the making of this weekend, though it did contain nuts. Caution: Never run with scissors.

Great weekend guys. The manager of the Outdoor Centre wants us back as well.The place was left so tidy the other staff of the centre didn’t think we had been there.
