Tri Centennial Commemorative Seat for Scorton Village

At the 2011 Meeting of the Society of Archers, held on 21 May, the arrangements for the purchase of a Tri Centennial Commemorative Seat for Scorton Village first put forward in 2009, received final unanimous approval and support of all members. It was regretted that what was meant to be a 'pleasant surprise for the village' had taken rather longer than anticipated due to only having annual meetings.
