Everyone had an amazing day and we’d like to thank Damon and his team for welcoming us.
We got to do a cool range of activities including knife throwing, axe throwing, archery, clay pidgeon shooting and target shooting.
Check out some of the pictures below.
Congratulations To the winner of the target shooting competition

I am Dr Joseph Roberts, a researcher at the Law School, University of Birmingham working on a project titled: Everyday Cyborgs 2.0: Law’s Boundary-work and Alternative Legal Futures.
‘Everyday cyborgs’ is a term that can be used to describe people with attached and implanted medical devices.
This includes people with a wide range of devices; for example, joint replacements, pacemakers, insulin pumps, and limb prostheses.
Some devices use smart technologies such as computer software and Wi-Fi.
They collect, analyse, and transmit data. However, their use creates some difficulties for the law.
