October is Cybersecurity Awareness month which is a global campaign to raise awareness of online safety and encourage good practices to help protect businesses and individuals from cybercrime. As attacks become more sophisticated we must increase our levels of understanding to better mitigate against them.

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre has produced some excellent resources for individuals (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/home) and for clubs and charities (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/home). Cyber Essentials (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview) is a UK Government backed scheme to help protect organisations against common cyber attacks.

Cyber security will become increasingly relevant to all of us.

The Glamorgan County Team competed at the Welsh & West County Team H2H Shoot hosted by Gloucestershire Archery Assocation.

Everyone had a fun day, even though the weather was surprisingly cold considering it was mid summer. In the end, Glamorgan Barebows came out on top (well nearly).

After both coming top of the qualifying round Mike Woodfield (Castle Bowmen) & Claire Edwards (RJD Archers) came away with the Silver medal and Becca Callan (Castle Bowmen) and Simon Browning (Perriswood) took the Bronze.

All the people completing the latest ArcheryGB approved Welfare & Child Protection course arranged by Glamorgan Archery Association's CCO Dave Roberts at Llandaff City Bowmen.

**Glamorgan County Team**

Since 2008 when the WAA inter-county tournament was devised, and Glamorgan came a magnificent 2nd place, the county team has done extremely well every year. Glamorgan has won the trophy 10 times, and never came lower than 2nd every other time.

If you want to be part of the team this year, just look out for the details on the County team page when they are released.
