Portsmouth (archers may use either a full or 3 spot face)
Golds are scored as 10’s for this challenge
Categories:
Archers will be split by bow type and gender within each of the categories below:

Entry dates:
All scores submitted must be shot during January and entered into the system no later than the 5 February.
You can register using the link below. Please note that scoresheets will be sent out after 9 January. You can still record your scores and then post-date them when you have received the scoresheet.
GWAS Judges Conference
The GWAS Judges Conference will be held in the West Buckland Village Hall on Sunday 22nd January at 12.30. This will be the first one since the pandemic began so it is well worth attending. Also it goes towards your annual returns and is a requirement of the J10 that you attend at least some of the conferences.
Please can you let the JLO know if you are able to attend. I would hope to see most of you there and it ensures that we all judge to the same standard. It is also your opportunity to tell the Region what we can do to help you. If there are any topics that you would like us to discuss, please let me know asap.

On Sunday members of the DWAA Senior County Team, took part in the inter-counties at Exmouth
Team Manager Vicky Burden said, “it went really well. We were obviously down some team members to begin with but we did very well to come 2nd in some of the categories. If we had a full team, we would’ve certainly given some counties a run for there money!”

Good luck to all archers shooting in both competitions.
The county is in urgent need of two volunteers for the GWAS Intercounties on the Sunday 18th September held at Exmouth Archers Grounds.
As part of our counties team submission into the Intercounties, we are required provide at least two people to join the other counties and host club to make up the field crew. They will need to be able to move targets, line them up, reface at lunchtime as well as general field crew duties like looking for arrows. If you are, or know of anyone who would be able, to help with this please contact our team manager Andrew Hoyle at teammanager@dcas.org.uk.
As a member of the support team for DCAS, like the team members, you will get a bacon roll first thing, tea and coffee supplied throughout the day, cake and a buffet tea at the end of the day. If DCAS do not provide field crew, we will not have the opportunity to retain the regional title.

GAS County H2H Training
The county hosted a H2H Round Robin practice on Saturday, August 6 at Cleve Archers. Thank you to all the archers who attended. Organising a practice like this is much more involved than the usual coaching session. A big thank you to Elaina Curran for Organising; the entire team at Cleve for setting up; Declan Ashworth for judging; Graham Williams for his support as coach; and a big thank you to Peter Sisson who organised the rota and who is always so generous in his guidance, time and support. Can’t thank Denise Bunce enough (!!) for all her effort in running the event as T.O. Hope the archers found it worthwhile and enjoyed the event. 🎯
