BELMONT PARK near Faversham will play host to archers from across Europe at this weekend's two-day Longbow Archery Shoot.

Organised by the Fraternity of St George, last year's event proved so popular that the 2003 competition will be held over Saturday and Sunday.

Shooting starts at 2pm on Saturday and 10.30am on Sunday with archers from Austria, France, Belgium and Holland travelling to take on their British counterparts.

Spectators, or those hoping to try their hand at long bow archery, will be made welcome.
