With all the new archery gear we unwrapped on Christmas day and the festive food indulged in, what better way to wrap up the year than with a Frostbite Competition?
Braving the chilly temperatures to shoot some arrows, archers from clubs all around the North East wrapped up warm, except for Dave “Elsa” Leverett, whose internal body temperature regulation remains a mystery to modern science.
Fuelled by bacon sarnies, coffee, tea, and the tempting top prize of a sparkling Frostbite-themed woolly hat, archers from Killingworth, Morpeth, Durham, Whitburn, Bowmen of Walker, and host club Riverside competed against numb fingers and toes!
