[Ansteorra-archery] Details

Sorry for the late response, I had to go deal with some problems on the
Eastfield range this morning.

Yes I belive it will be a polling order, but as I said before I do not
have all the details.  I would think that would be why they chose three
premier members for the order also.

And yes I would agree with you that we all owe his Excellency our thanks.
 He is truly deserving of the title "Lion of Ansteorra" he received at
Steppes 12th Night.

Great pictures Lughaidh, I guess we need to thank Lord Owen "squeaky
boots" for taking them for us huh?
