Well its been a long while snice we been casting, with holidays, car problems etc its been a 10 week lay off, so we are a bit rusty. Given that its been 10 weeks snice we have been in a field and todays forecast is for very high pressure and a light breeze which went in a northly direction most of the day, which meant we where in the flat field for a change. Six members turned up to knock the dust off the gear. We soon had the court set up and the first few gentle rounds showed up the rust but muscle memory kicks in and soon the carbon was being bent and the leads heading up court, bit given the conditions it was tough going but Stevie did manage a 237yard cast. Today was Lins first day as a member so welcome to the club mate. Just a heads up but next meet is 150g practice day.


results for 12/10/2015

MC 150g = 190y
125g = 193y

Stevie 175g = 237y

Graeme 150g = 208y

Lin = NCR

Benny 125g = 188y

Louis 175g = 190y

today was our 150g lead event and we had 5 members turn up. The field was in use with sheep dog training so we had to wait until it was free before carrying the court to the top of the hill. As you guess it was a south west wind of 10-12mph with a few stronger gust, which meant setting up the oche on a slope and casting downhill. Casting on a slope takes a bit of getting used to as it knocks the step off and you go left but you soon learn to compensate and soon start casting down the court. With a light wind and high pressure we had a dry day for a change, which was very pleasant cast in, if fact after a few trips back up the hill coats came off as it got warm. Top bombing goes to Graeme who managed to gat close to a pb, just 4 yards shy but he did win with a 226y cast. Once again thanks to all for the help with the court and for future reference we will be meeting at 10.30/10.45am as the sheep dog training will be taking place.

Results for 9/11/2025

all 150g

Graeme = 226y

MC = 221y

Louis = 205y

Benny = 201y

Lin = 168y
