Our huge congratulations to the Valley Bowmen of Huddersfield, who have won the easyfundraising Christmas Challenge, with a fantastic £323.30 raised in free donations between 2 November and 31 December.
On hearing they had won the easyfundraising £500 competition prize, John Dean, Treasurer of Valley Bowmen of Huddersfield, said:
Â"We are delighted to accept the prize. This is a fantastic way to start the new year, which will hopefully be better for all of us by the end of it.
Â"It has come at a great time as we have just been discussing how we can fund an indoor range to give us control and improve the facilities and services we offer our members. This can benefit the wider archery community by hosting coach training sessions. It will also help us to further promote archery to the general public and encourage them to join our growing community!”
Also, as part of the competition, three clubs who raised a donation during the competition will now be awarded a spot prize of £50 each:
