22 DEVELOPMENT The key to the future Give young the support they deserve

oung people are fundamental to the future of archery.And, for many Yreasons including London 2012, movies, school clubs, the Arrows kit and the fantastic work done by volunteers, more and more are coming into the sport. So how do we keep them and help them reach their full potential? One way is to recognise the contribution they can make to clubs and involve them at every level.The key is to understand their needs – and that they are not “mini-adults.” Archery GB wants to make sure clubs, members and coaches are getting the support they need to help young archers to develop. The ontarget programme provides an effective support network and the chance to become a young people specialist club offering a high quality archery experience with excellent social, training and competitive opportunities. The idea is not to turn clubs into position to exploit and how it operates on a crèches. It is to provide coaching sessions opportunities to grow, develop weekly and daily basis. that engage young people and provide and improve. “Clubs can use ontarget to re@ect on their a rewarding experience for the club, And the main reward?

24 HISTORY Satire and comedy Arthur Credland is Archery GB’s of!cial historian – and he wants to hear from you. Contact him at [email protected] he looks at how satirists and cartoonists have used archery

n the 19th century,cartoons were highly satirical and aimed at de7ating the egos of politicians and those Iwith social pretensions.Archery was growing in popularity and did not escape.Celebrated satirist George Cruikshank (1792-1878) used archery to take aim at the “middling” classes but by the Victorian era, the biting wit had become more of a gentle social commentary. John Leech, who illustrated the 6rst edition of A Christmas Carol, drew a number of cartoons for Punch, one of them alluding to the archery’s association with imbibing, which dated back to the Middle Ages, Sunday practice at the butts and the growth of the archery club as a place for young men and women to meet in less stif7y formal surroundings than usual. Like tennis clubs in the 20s and 30s, the club had become a marriage mart. Satirists also targeted attempts to introduce “rational dress” for women in the 1850s.Attempts by women to free themselves from the restrictions of ankle length skirts led to the advent of “the bloomer girl” wearing something akin to harem pants.A modi6ed form, the knickerbocker,found favour at the end of the century among keen young female cyclists. Leech shows a bevy of knickerbocker-clad archers being reviewed by Mr Punch in bicorn hat, resembling the Duke of Wellington. Another shows a charming image of young children improvising a target from their aunt’s straw hat. Archery does sometimes still appear in modern cartoons but tend to use the characters and stories of Robin Hood and William Tell rather than being based on the current modes of archery. G

Its aim is to support upcoming 9eld archers and to help others into the sport.And it has had some notable successes, including Joe Fairburn who this year set new under-15 and under-18 national records. The tournament attracted competitors from all over Great Britain and Northern Ireland including former world champions Jon Shales and Louise Rees as well as top 9eld archers Vic Williams and Robert Mallon.

JUDGES 61 Can you help? Mentors needed for young recruits

he ?rst recruits have joined Archery GB’s youth and junior judge programmes.They are keen, eager T– and that is why Hannah Brown has a favour to ask her fellow judges. Hannah, who chairs the Judges Committee, said:“Next season they may be on a ?eld near you... and they will need mentoring. “Have you got the skills and the knowledge to pass on to the next generation of enthusiastic judges? If you would like to be involved and mentor the future, then email me at [email protected] and we will get you involved. “Or perhaps you know the next generation of judges? Get them to email me!” And under-30s interested in judging international events will be descending on Lilleshall soon for a World Archery seminar and accreditation session. Its aim? To train them to judge at Youth Olympics,World Archery Youth Judging at the Junior Championships,World Archery University National Outdoor Championships and competitions for Championships younger archers. It starts on 24 October and will cover the philosophies and duties of judging, shooting rules and procedure, practical observations, case studies and general rules. It will be followed by a ?nal exam. G

Get that diary out... The hottest date in the judges’ diary has been released.The 2015 conference will be held on 7 and 8 March and the Chapters meal will be on the Saturday night. The conference will be held at Lilleshall – but the committee is exploring the possibility of moving it around the country,much like the Archery GB AGM.The idea is to make it more accessible. Judges Committee Chairman Hannah Brown said:“As it is part of your re-accreditiaion requirement we are conscious that cost is an issue and travel to Lilleshall can be expensive. “So, we need your thoughts. Do you want to keep it at Lilleshall? Move it about? Do you know anywhere we could host it? Please email me at [email protected] and tell me what you think!” G

82 FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We would like to thank the following sponsors and partners

And finally For long term support of our core programmes:

ummer has sadly drawn to a close at last – but the memories will linger for a long time to come.Wasn’t it Sfantastic? So much happened that it’s almost impossible to believe we managed to pack so much into such a short period. There were successes at every level. We have had really positive feedback from our :rst Talent Festival and our young archers put in Performance Sponsor: some excellent performances at their Junior Nationals and Masters.They didn’t do too badly internationally either,coming home laden with World Cup, European and World Field medals. We are all so proud of them. Conditions in Zagreb might have been testing but a large British squad proved we are a force to be reckoned with in the World Field Championships. For helping us raise standards: And our para stars – both established and new – have been busy too, adding yet more medals to this summer’s haul and boosting Britain’s reputation. It was good to catch up with old friends at our domestic tournaments – and to make lots of new ones this summer. I never fail to be impressed by the standard of shooting at the GNAM, British Target Championships, Masters and the new inter-counties tournament, among others. Sadly for me I was not able 2014 Archery GB National Series: to attend them all. And there have been a couple of events that have turned into real headline grabbers.This year’s Nottingham Building Society National Series Grand :nal was a :tting :nale for a campaign that started in Penicuik and, via Clophill and Exmouth, ended against the stunning backdrop of Wollaton Hall. More than 8,000 people attended the event – and many of them got their :rst real Gold: taste of the sport thanks to Nottinghamshire County Archery Society which ran a highly successful have-a-go. It’s also good to know that more than 11,000 people who could not be there have since watched the :nals online. Archery has also been at the heart of the Invictus Games for wounded, injured or sick active or former servicemen and women. I had the honour of witnessing some of the competitors in action as well as being asked to present the archery medals. It was truly inspiring and I cannot tell you how proud I was of Archery GB volunteers who helped make it such a success. Thank you to all volunteers, judges, coaches and archers who have made this summer such a success. I often say it but I really mean it, we could not do it without you. Good luck for the indoor season – and frostbites – and I hope to see many of you at the combined championships at the Ricoh in Coventry.
