Dear Parent/ Guardian,

It is pleasure to announce the launch of the Northern Counties Postal League, specifically designed for Juniors across the counties of Cheshire/ Cumbria/ DNAA/ Isle of Man/ Lancashire and Yorkshire.

This postal league provides an opportunity for Juniors to compete with others from across the six counties, but from there own club setting, by providing scores on a monthly basis. It  will be coordinated by the NCAS Junior Lead, Dave Crow with support from the NCAS Youth Subgroup (which consists of representatives from each of the Counties and AGB Young Ambassadors)

Here is a link to the postal league, which will provide more information: Join the NCAS Youth Archers Postal League (google.com)

In addition, this is a reminder to any Junior archers that haven’t submitted their scores for the 2023 Junior National rankings, to do so by the 31^st October 2023. 

The junior rankings are your chance to submit your best scores see your name in lights on Archery GB’s website. Entering the rankings is a great way to track your progress in the sport and see how you compare to other archers of your age and gender shooting the same round and using the same bow type as you.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Many thanks

Regards

Yvonne

It was a real shock this week to hear the Region had lost a true archery powerhouse with the sad passing of Dave Harrison. 

Archery thrives through those who give back to the sport and few have given more than Dave. His incredible archery legacy is at every level – National, Regional, County and local – and the sport has lost a true champion.  All his contributions shared and achievements gained  while consistently being known as a really good man. 

The NCAS Committee pass on their thoughts and best wishes to Dave’s family and friends. Rest easy Dave, you will be greatly missed.
