Awards were allocated on the overall scores for both days – congratulations to those who took home an award, claimed a badge and thanks to all who supported this shoot 🏹
Last weekend saw Avalon Archers host the All British and Open Field Championships – and DNAA were ably represented by field enthusiasts Abby, Jared, Eleanor and Nate Thornton and Alex Wise.
Alex (Bowmen of Walker) took bronze for gents recurve. Nate won the under 12 junior boy section. And Eleanor took the junior lady title, shooting the red pegs as an under 18 and also setting two county records for U18 mixed field round (single and double)
The course was very difficult, making these achievements all the more impressive. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Alex, Nate and Eleanor – and thanks to all who represented DNAA 🏹

We are gradually moving over to lightweight solid foam for our indoor bosses. As a result we have a surplus of heavyweight outdoor bosses to store at Benfield.We would therefore like to offer up to 6 of these bosses to any club who wants them for £10 each (apparently there is something legally problematic about giving them away).We think they are old Ten Zone bosses for the purposes of replacement foam but we can’t be sure. They would need to collect them from Benfield, but we can supply the name of a reasonably priced van taxi service that we use to move them around.All the foam and frames are currently in very good condition apart from one which has a bent tightening bolt which would probably need replacing when it is repacked.SimonSimonjnichols@gmail.com
Your hosts Riverside Archery Club cordially invite longbow archers to sign up for this County shoot.

Many congratulations to the four juniors from DNAA who competed in sunny York on Saturday at the first stage of the inaugural ArcheryGB Junior National Series. Qualifying went well with Rachel and Felicity finishing in 3rd in their categories, Rachel with a new county record*, and Eleanor and Hannah qualifying in 5th and 6th, Eleanor also with a new county record*.
The afternoon commenced with head-to-head matches, in which all archers shot very well with many close matches. Felicity and Eleanor finished bronze medals in their classes. Many thanks to York Archers for staging this great event!
Following this event, the summer holds great promise for junior archers with fantastic local junior tournaments hosted by Killingworth and Cleadon Archers on the 18th June and 23rd July, as well as the Junior National Outdoor Championships on the 1st and 2nd July and the Youth Festival from 31st July-4th August, both at Lilleshall National Sports Centre.
