Thank you to the Echo, they certainly promote local sport and in this issue there were 2 whole pages dedicated to archery, not to mention more pages on the Gloucestershire Sports Media Awards.
Lucy has a full page picture and there was another page featuring the Club and James Lawton. There was also an excellent article on Anthony Wiseman from Fast & Loose who is part of the County Junior Squad.

Roger would like to thank all the members of the club and his family for allowing him to share the fantastic journey the club is making and to remind everyone that this award could have only been achieved as part of a team and what a team we have! The best way of thinking about this award is that it is no different to winning the FA Cup, the team wins it, one individual gets the honour of collecting it on behalf of the team!
Thanks also goes to our partners, Archery GB and in particular the Development Group, Active Gloucestershire our CSP (Community Sports Partnership) and of course all the schools and communities we are fortunate to work with.

The club will prepare a response to the Archery GB paper looking at modernising its membership process. There a lot of good ideas in the proposal and a lot of work has gone into it and we want to make sure we give feedback (Positive and negative if appropriate). These proposals will impact on all of our members so please review the paper and comments to Mary please marycrang@aol.com
