Well, my final appearance for Tynedale turned out to be a total waste of time. Wish I'd stayed home & watched the F1GP, and spent the petrol money on a pouch of baccy!
(A vape just doesn't do it for me, but it's all I've got until Friday now.)
The AGM was as tedious as all such meetings, anywhere, tend to be. Most notable thing about it was that despite many reminders there were only NINE people in attendance, with 3 AFA's. Can the club survive?
SO tempting to call 'fix!' on the handicap comp results, but as I said I didn't feel I'd shot well enough to deserve it anyway so there was no point. The gold, silver & bronze medals went to the coach, chairman & secretary respectively. The last is the super-suspicious one, I've watched her shoot!
Afterwards we headed for the field, I was hoping to nail a 475 Portsmouth for my swan-song but no, it was decided that due to frequent light showers they were gonna shoot a 130 yd clout (the longest our field permits). I declined, I really don't like clouts, I spectated for a few ends then headed for home. I've already said why earlier, no need to repeat it.
So, looking forward to my 'official' debut at Newburn, indoors on Friday night - although I may not be able to make every session next month as I'm bidding on a set of A/C/E's on eBay this week. Perfect length & spine for me so I couldn't NOT get involved! Maybe it's time to sell my rookie bow, should just about cover the purchase if I'm lucky?
- They'll need re-socked & re-fletched for my tastes, plus replacing the G-nocks with pins, but I have until the spring to get them range-worthy so no time pressure on that.
Time to relax & watch Chelsea v Liverpool now, then the F1GP highlights & 3 NFL games. I don't even dare look for the final result of the England RWC match (we were doing OK when I left for the AGM, with 25 minutes left to go) in case I accidentally see the race results (I've done it before
) so no twitter, facebook or sports pages until after 20:30
