One of the first taster sessions organised by the Cheshire Field rep Stuart Walsh (as part of the NCAS Field Subgroup) took part at New Century with 10 archers taking part. It was a perfect day weather wise and everyone who came really enjoyed it, so much so everyone wanted to go round again after lunch, and that’s what they did!
Sounds like a resounding success – keep your eyes peeled for further Field taster sessions 🏹
Congrats Northern Counties – Highly Commended in the Toxophilus Category at the Archery GB Recognition Awards 2023!
At a recent club catchup, it is noted that club secretaries would welcome the opportunity to come together and discuss a number of topics that impact the role and meet other club secretaries.
The first topic discussion will take place on the 7 th December at 7pm. I have created the following form to allow any interested individuals to raise a topic(s) they would like to see discussed. If there are a large number of topics, I will look to cover these in additional sessions.
Here is the link, as promised above: NCAS Club Secretaries – 7th December 2023
If you have any queries or would like to discuss this further, please let me know.
Many thanks

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

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 31st 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.
