Yearbook 2011 2 INTRODUCTION WELCOME TO ARCHERY GB'S 2011 YEARBOOK his is a booklet designed to acknowledge the many outstanding achievements by many archers over the past 12 months, and to put on record the winners and competitors at our big events of the year, Tsuch as the UK Masters and the GNAM tournament - both highlights of the annual calendar. Not forgetting, of course, our National Series championship, which has made a big impact since its launch two years ago. The glory of tournaments like the GNAM and the National Series, is that anyone can take part, whatever your standard – and if you are a club archer standing along the line alongside the likes of Alison Williamson or Simon Terry, then you will always be encouraged by them, and benefit from the experience. I am a club archer, and I love taking part in these national competitions. OK, so these days, I am unlikely to be among the prize winners, but that is not the point of taking part. I enter competitions because I love shooting, I love the camaraderie, and I thrive on the experience. So whatever standard you shoot at, do not ever be put off entering our national competitions. It really is great fun, you are always among friends, and you will benefit from the experience, be it through learning from others and improving your performances, or by relishing the togetherness of being involved in an archery shoot. Archery is a wonderful sport. An inclusive sport; and the ultimate sport for all. I know that because I have been involved in it as an archer, a judge, a club official for over 30 years, and, over the past 12 months, as Chairman of our National Governing Body. So I will end by congratulating everyone who has taken part in one of our national events, not just the winners. I hope that seeing your name in print inspires you to give it a go again… and again. I wish you great shooting!
