JHLewis published Nottingham venues host ParkLives summer activity programme

In the heartland of the Robin Hood legends, archers draw back their arms and let their arrows fly over the greensward. Only these are not barbed arrows aimed at one of the Sheriff of Nottingham's men. They are sucker-tipped jobs, a lot like the ones you get in tourist shops. The dinky bows look better suited to Cupid than a brawny bowman. And there is a shortage of Lincoln green, for our archers are in the well-worn anoraks that have become essential garments in the sodden summer of 2006.Welcome
