themed clout shoot - is it a good idea ? and would you come ?

our club holds an annual easter monday double clout and fun shoot

its a great laugh and fairly well attended and this year weve had TV and local newspaper coverage but were thinking about taking things a little further next year by possibly theming the event in a medieval / tudor style including fancy dress / hog roast / medieval craft market (possibly some re-enactment etc too)

so

the questions -

1 - anyone think this is a particularly good or bad idea (bearing in mind it would be intended as a bit of a laugh - think those medieval themed banquets you can book rather than serious re-enactment) ?

2 - if a similar event was close enough to you would you consider coming / coming in fancy dress to shoot medieval / tudor stylee ?

3 - if you are an archery-related craftsman (bowyer / arrow maker / leatherworker / etc) would you be interested in principle of having a stall at such an event ?

any other comments ?

thanks for your input - any comments / suggestions / warnings MUCH appreciated - if you see any AIUK members who fit question 3 (bald eagle for example) it would be great if you could point them at the poll

Wow, that sounds a lot like Green Park Weekend!! Clout, archery golf, novelty targets, 3D shoot, medieval banquet with costumes, entertainment, etc.

I like the sound of the craft market and re-enactment elements, too.

I've got the medieval dress and I'm a clout champ...count me in!
