The annual Herm New Year Challenge took place on Sunday, on a bright breezy morning in Common Field. This year the challenge was organised by the fire team and came in the form of an archery competition.
Islanders were placed into four categories – men, women, boys and girls. All were accompanied by designated safety instructors Simon George and Brett Moore.
Outdoor Guernsey hold several archery days on the island over the summer months in this very field, which is accessed just off the Spine Road down near the Common.
Volunteers kindly provided tea and coffee, and the usual welcome abundance of Herm-made cakes and cookies kept everyone busy until their turn was up.
Winners in their respective categories were Andy Pender, Katell Murphy Nicholls, Charlie Knight, 13, and India Waterhouse, 8.
