We are very pleased to report another well attended event that ran smoothly at a superb venue, with some excellent performances and great feedback.
Firstly thank you to our main sponsors ‘The Worshipful Company of Fletchers’, without whom this event would not have been viable and it was great that the Chairman of their Charity Committee, Mr Chris Brown was able to attend the event.
Thank you also to Wales Archery and Tenzone Targets for their support.
As well as World Archery Classifications we added our own to be more inclusive.
Thank you to Roland Clark – Inclusion Officer for Active Gloucestershire for being our Gentleman Patron for the day, we are fortunate to be located in the area which is covered by the best Community Sports Partnership in the UK!

Most improved performance of the day was that of Will Gore recording 481 in the boys recurve and likewise Chloe Tucker in the Girls Recurve with 473.

Chloe Tucker and Anna Langdon who recorded a Personal Best.
There was again a good number of entries in the longbow section.
In summary it was an excellent day, however the fact remains that not enough Clubs are getting involved in Inclusive archery and the vast majority of shoots totally fail to include categories that would recognise the full range of abilities that would like to compete.
