As we gear up for the start of our nationwide celebration of archery from 14-22 May, we're pleased to announce a number of Start Archery Week competition winners!
If you've checked our Start Archery Week webpage over the last few weeks, you'll have noticed we've been running 10 competitions to mark 10 years of holding Big Weekend/Start Archery Week events. The good news is, there's still time to enter half of them, and we've some great prizes to give away.
Archery GB Clubs registering confirmed event details by 10 April were entered into a free prize draw to win a coaching session at your club with Lloyd Brown, Coach Development Manager. Congratulations to Deben Archery Club near Ipswich who won Competition 1 in the free prize draw!

Community groups, for example uniformed organisations can also enter if started a new group since January 2022. Congratulations to Colwyn Bowmen who have won a pack of 50 copies of ‘The Archery for Beginners Guidebook'.
