What can I win?

National Trophies and the Championship title will be awarded to the highest placed British Archery GB member across the combination of all three events (WA 70/50m, WA 1440, and the National Tour results).

The National Tour rankings are awarded based on an accumulation of a person's scores from day one and day two. National Tour points therefore are only awarded to those who complete both days.

After the presentation, all trophies must be returned to the Competition Organiser. Distance awards will be available.

Parking and lost property notice for Lilleshall:

Archery GB will only monitor the Blue Badge car park that is accessible close to the competition fields. The spaces are limited, so if you require a blue badge parking space, please request it through this form for all the competitions that you will be attending: Blue Badge Parking Request

The requests will be treated as a priority, so if you fail to do so, you might be asked to park further away from the field. Please remember to display the blue badge on your windscreen at all times.

Archery GB will keep any lost property that is left behind at competitions for a period of 6 weeks maximum. Any items that are not collected or claimed within that period will be disposed of.
