Here we see archers from Pilgrim Bowmen, keeping their eye in during the winter of 50 years ago by taking on darts players.

The archers used their spectacular equipment while the darts players stuck to their conventional ‘arrows’.

The Bowmen who took on the New Nelson darts players were, from left: Roy Homewood, Dick Bland, Gail Clayton, Harry Hawkins, Audrey Hawkins, Ian Clayton and Peter Harrison.
