Over 100 nominations were received across the 12 different award categories, and we were staggered by the impact and quality of nominations for this year’s Recognition Awards.
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our sport and each year Archery GB celebrates, highlights and recognises the amazing impact of our volunteers and organisations through the annual Recognition Awards, which include several ontarget awards for clubs. The awards align with Archery GB’s vision of Enriching Lives Through Archery, and the values we aspire to: value people for who they are and the contribution they make; choose to work and learn together; strive for excellence; and always act with integrity.
