Lord Paramount was Tom Knott and field Judge was Phil Herret.
Thanks to all of the shooters, supporters, parents, and the excellent weather for making the Anchor Open come back shoot certainly worthwhile organising.

2008 Annual General Meeting
The AGM took place last night at the Queens Head Inn, Ockbrook with not a bad turnout from club members.
Most of the "old faithfuls" were "sworn in" for another year on the committee, whilst a hearty thanks must be given for the good service to those standing down from their posts and to those taking them up.
Well done also to all that received trophies and medals!
Worthy of a special mention is Tom Knott, who as our most "senior" archer was made an Honoury Member of the club. Tom has been an archer for over 60 years, many of them with Anchor.
