ArcheryGB have completely changed the Archery Classification & Handicap score system, so it might be worth a read of the new rules and procedures. ALL the scores you thought you needed are now different. Especially important to know for all Club Record Officers. (click link below to go to the ArcheryGB website page).
Congratulations to Pentref Bowmen for holding a very successful Glamorgan Field Championships, The Glynn Rud memorial shoot, with archers attending from very far and wide. They were extremely busy as they also hosted the Welsh Field Champs the next day, so awesome work from the premier Field club in the UK.

**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.

If sending affiliation cheques to the Glamorgan Treasurer Please ensure you do NOT use initials for 'Glamorgan Archery Association' & 'Welsh Archery Association' , write them out in full.
