We love to learn new skills at GWOF on a Friday night! So tonight we went fishing with Jack Culpin from Angling Trust, at Bordeaux Pit in Little Chesterford. Wow! What an amazing evening! The GWOFers loved every minute of the experience. Jack showed us how to use red maggots to bait the hook, how to cast and retrieve the catch! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening! We were all so excited when one of the last catches was a massive carp! Our group is supported by The Nati

A walk through Thetford Forest feels wonderfully peaceful today! The path slips beneath tall Scots pines, with sunlight filtering through the branches and patches of shade keeping the air noticeably cooler. Just what the GWOFers need during this hot weather! Now for a picnic lunch and some games under the trees. Supported by The National Lottery Community Fund and #lotteryplayers #FridayFeeling #highlodge #MakeADifference #lovewhatwedo #makingmemories

Tonight, we had a fabulous time at Squire Archery in Thriplow 🏹 Practising the skill of holding a bow to shoot arrows at the target. The basic goal is to shoot arrows as accurately as possible. In target archery, archers stand at a fixed distance from a circular target with colored scoring rings. The closer an arrow lands to the center, the more points it scores. 🎯 A fantastic night 🤩 Thank you so much to Andrew and the team ❤️ Supported by The National Lottery Community F
