Bowyers' Prize Day 4th July 2009
The Master and prize winners
On Saturday 4th July 2009 a small group of Bowyers met at the Royal Toxophilite Society's shooting ground, Archers' Lodge, Burnham for the annual shoot of compound and re-curve bows for the Bowyers' Medals.
It was a beautiful English summer afternoon and on arrival members of the Company were met by the President of the Society Roy Gallop and the match secretary Tim Jackson. The party then went onto the shooting ground and watched the ladies and gentlemen shooting. Afterwards the party moved back to the house and enjoyed a lovely traditional tea of sandwiches, scones and cakes.
Once the shooting was over the Master made a short speech and presented the medals as follows:
