This evening (28 April) Archery GB's 2020 ontarget Club and Volunteer Awards online presentation will celebrate the brilliant clubs that work tirelessly to promote archery and increase participation. It will also honour the dedicated volunteers who give up their spare time to contribute to our beloved sport, along with those who work behind the scenes to help clubs run smoothly.
Nominations from ontarget clubs and members were gathered and reviewed earlier this year by Archery GB. We are seeking to recognise and reward the clubs and individuals that have gone beyond the acknowledged responsibilities of a community sports club to promote archery in their communities over the last 12 months.
Here's a look at the award categories:

This award is for an individual, aged under 25 on 31 August 2020, who has demonstrated enthusiasm and commitment to a club and made a strong impact through volunteering.
