Well finally up and almost running....... GOSHAWK ARCHERS Is a relatively new club, located in Warrington, Cheshire, between junction 10 and 11 of the M56. The wood is very pretty especially during the summer, due to there being an abundance of rhododendron trees it is green all of the year. It is dry underfoot this is due to several small drainage ponds around the wood; it has no steep slopes and can be negotiated comfortably by those of us with walking difficulties. As our first shoot is on 20th July and we are very small in number, there will be no catering, but there will be soft drinks, bottled water and some snacks available. The wood is available for practice 7 days of the week to members, with the only restriction being no smoking. Every style of archery is encouraged. Off road parking is available to members and for shoot days negotiations are under way to secure off road parking. It is hoped to increase the membership, any enquires; naienna2008-goshawk@yahoo.co.uk _________________ It wasn't me....... honest
