Pentangle
After painstakingly deliberating, the Executive Committee have decideed that this year we are not sending a team to the Pentangle.
A lot of time and effort has been expended in attempting to contact the organisers of this historical shoot and when contact was eventually made, we were notified that the shoot is to be incorporated into another event.
Due to the lack of communication and demands being placed on entries, the County are unable to select a team for 2017. Please accept our sincere apologies for the lateness in communicating this information to you.
Easter Shooting
Over the Easter Weekend some of our Juniors shot for the moon and managed to achieve a few goals, now its time to set some new ones.
Congratulations to all who travelled down to Lilleshall, the home of Archery GB to attend the Key Stage 1 Selection Shoot (for the World Champs in Argentina). A great attendance and DNAA was represented by:-
Alex Wise (Bowmen of Walker), Damian Needs (Green Lane), Cameron and Morgan Donaldson (Cleadon) and Will Maddison (Norton).
Good Luck for Stage 2.
Not to be outdone, Cameron Taylor-Thorn has been selected to represent England at the Home Nations match at Lilleshall.
Well done, you have done your County Proud.
