It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of John Nunn. John was one of our county judges for the last 11 years and had been a keen archer for many years before that. He was a much respected judge, much liked and respected by all archers, especially the juniors with whom he was very popular. He always had a kind word for all whilst at the same time carrying off his duties as a judge with efficiency and little fuss. He also much enjoyed his annual trips to Dunster. He will be much missed by his many friends and our sympathies go out to his wife Jill and his family.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Joan Griffiths from Supermarine Bowmen passed away on 5th April 2022 after a short illness.
Joan was an archer and coach but will be remembered for her many years of work as a judge for the DWAA county, Supermarine and many other shoots, including Dunster which she thoroughly enjoyed over the years.
She held the posts of Judges Liaison and Records Officer for the DWAA county committee and was the Chairman, Secretary and Tournament Organiser at Supermarine during her time there.
If anyone would like to attend the funeral, this is being held at Kingsdown Crematorium Swindon on Monday 25th April 2022 at 1.30pm, followed by a buffet at Supermarine Sports Club.

It is with great sadness we announce on the evening of 25th january Eddy Wheeler passed away after a short illness. He was very well loved within the archery community, always there to help or give advice, from coaching juniors to helping keep Redruth Archers ground looking good. Nothing was too much effort and in 2015 both he and his wife Wendy were recognised for over 40 years volunteering and were presented an award by Archery GB. He was liked and respected by everyone he came into contact with and will leave a big void in the archery community, he will be sadly missed by family and friends alike.

The DCAS Committee have looked at whether it is sensible to run the Indoor Championships at Plymouth and given the current state of the Covid pandemic, we feel that it is important to protect our members and volunteers and as such we will be cancelling the physical event. We would like to thank Yelverton Bowmen and the YMCA for supporting us in this decision. Instead we will run the County Championships as a postal event, but not quite in the same format as other replacement postals that we, and GWAS have done recently.
