Had a few pictures sent to me today. I thought have a bit of fun. I call it "Going for Gold".
I guess I could have taken longer with it & done it differently, but I only had 5 minuets to spare This is the result. Not bad for a rush job, even if I say so myself.

I did not mention that some of us had a presentation as a thank you from the organiser. I felt guilty about this, there were more people working other thanCarol, Pat & myself. As I see it, we should all have had something, or everyone had nothing other than a verbal thank you.

Today is the big one for the club.......... Our Open shoot We had the rain yesterday we have wind promised for today. I'm not shooting I have a field party job also Photographer & first aider.
Yesterday afternoon was spent by putting faces to the target bosses with Brian whilst two of the ladies Carol (My Good Lady) & Kelly sorted out whatever it is they sort, but we did get a nice coffee from them "Thank you". The field was pretty well set up by Stan & Ian by the time we got there . It is surprising how much work can be done by just a small team of workers in such a small amount of time...Well not really Last year was a farce 3 managers & two workers This year No MANAGERS says it all really
I'll see what I can report later, after the shoot

0800 start by tying the direction signs to lampposts, Then up with the targets, stands & generally pretty well everything else. A gazebo was put up & half hour later was taken down again with three damaged legs & roof support.It was a windy one to say the least, Some big branches were blown off the trees. At least, the rain stayed away. There were in excess of 60 archers, although 70 had paid their entry... well, that was their choice. The BBQ was excellent Young Abigail made some sweet chilli sauce, it went very well with the burger & salad. The shoot was a success for most archers a disappointment for one or two, well, they should have hit the target instead of breaking their arrows on something else. (Easily done though, as I only know too well).
The presentation was well received, a buffet, enough to feed twice as many people as were there was attacked with gusto, & still plenty was left (but not wasted)If you want to view some of the pictures taken look at http://picasaweb.google.com/peter.studden/2008OpenShoot
Thats all for the time being

OOPS

Had to make the 0800111999 call this morning. I could smell "Curry" or something like it. The gas engineer came out to check on our gas leak...seems I had left the gas oven on, albeit very low. I did not realise that once the flame had gone, gas could still escape. IT CAN! lesson here, MAKE SURE !!!
Still, no damage done. I will not be doing that again. At least, we cleaned the oven out so that was a good thing.

Latest bit of fun with pictures. This is Jen' a member of our clan.
You can find me perhaps in the bottom R corner of the picture

PayPal? COME OFF IT!

I just had an e-mail from PayPal telling me I have had my account severely restricted. I'm rather glad about that, seeing as I do not have an account with them. If you do get one of these, just delete it, don't even bother opening it. Report it if you wish, I expect thousands have already.
I would love to be able to reply to the SCUM that send these mails, with a program that does severe damage to their equipment.
I saw in the news the other day, that a great percentage of Scam is now sent from London (UK) & that the Police are powerless to intervene. Seems strange does that. I guess the prisons are too full, & the innocent will just have to suffer.

Have a nice life
