By ways various and devious, we all arrived in time for the gathering. The parade was well done, not too long, and well supported by the local population. Everyone passed the bow check and waited in anticipation for Monday morning.

The first morning was a bit chaotic as competitors worked out what to do, but eventually got to the correct one of the six courses via a very efficiently run bus service.

Getting to some of the courses involved a long walk in spite of the buses. They varied from "a walk in the park" to lung gasping climbs between and up to the targets. The distances were not horrific and posed no problem to anyone familiar with an SBG

The medals ceremony was as usual a protracted and noisy affair. Congratulations to the organisers for their brilliant idea of not putting the winners' rostrum on the stage in the spotlights but on the floor in the relative gloom so they could neither be seen nor photographed!
