What ezines should I get and how do I make sure I receive them? 

Some ezines you will get no matter what type of member you are – these are usually about things like membership renewals, updates to your member benefits, or information about events we think you will be interested in.

If you’re in your first year of membership with Archery GB, you’ll receive an ezine called Skills and Drills, which is a monthly look at some tips and tricks to help you get through your first year and improve. It’ll introduce some technical skills you might not yet have learned, like proper stance, and will share information about events you might be interested in entering, like our virtual competitions.

If you’re a volunteer – whether that’s at your club or at any of our regional events – you can opt-in to receive the Volunteer’s ezine. In this we share information about events like Start Archery Week and volunteering at Archery GB competitions, plus club committee members will also be the first to find out about changes to rules and membership.

All members can sign up to receive the Member’s newsletter. The monthly ezines are packed with valuable information, expert knowledge, and the thrilling opportunity to snag fabulous prizes.

You can opt into receiving these ezines by logging into your Sport:80 account, scrolling down to Communication Preferences and following the steps below.
