WOW, what a weekend of fun at the recent Manning
Christmas shoot. OK, it rained on and
off on Saturday, that still didn't frighten the fifty or so archers from
arriving with their vans and tents for the weekend shoot.
A delicious roast and pudding Christmas dinner was
had Saturday night. Christmas tree, lights and decoration where up at the club
house and looked fantastic. The visiting archers commented how wonderful and
festive it looked.
Saturday night, well what can be said, it was the
funnies show we have ever seen. A husband and wife, Mike and Gloria Potter,
from Kempsey put on a comedy act which had everyone in stitches and they could
not stop laughing. Mike dress up as a
woman, sat behind a sheet with his head poke through it and Gloria was behind
Mike trying to put make up on his face which she couldn't see, well you can
image what he looked like. Mike had make up all over his face, he had a beard.
An Irish lady told jokes and with her accent, it made the jokes very funny and
there where archers who had a problem understanding her so Mike stood up and
tried to play out what she was saying. A
young fellow played his guitar and most archers sang along, having a good time.
Sunday morning the archers set off to shoot and
finish the weekend. When the last of the archers where finished it started to
rain lightly. It rained while they where packing up their gear to travel home,
not very nice.
Because it was a fun shoot, there were no trophies,
handed out. Mike Potter handed out a certificate to the winners.
The next Christmas Shoot will be held at the Macleay
Club at Kempsey in 2014.
