Deer Park Archers Break In

At the recent European Grand Prix in Bucharest, Romania athletes from Deer Park Archers in Gloucestershire performed extremely well.

Compound woman Lucy Mason was successful in securing a European Games Quota place in the gold medal match against Janine Meissner (GER) who scored 143, Lucy tying the match at 143 but unfortunately narrowly missing out in the shoot off.

Lucy Mason along with fellow Deer Park athlete Ella Gibson and Jersey’s Lucy O’Sullivan came away with the silver medal from the match against Estonia losing out 225 to 222.

It was a pleasure today to witness yet again GWAS volunteers being honoured at a national level –

GWAS has been made aware of at least two attempts to fraudulently obtain monies from clubs / counties by using publicly available names and email addresses of treasurer and chairmen. With the bogus “chairman” supposedly instructing the actual treasurer to settle some fictitious account.

Members are urged to be vigilant.

The form for the submission of club affiliations for GWAS has been changed, so please can all please use the new form.

Club Affiliation Submission Form press here

As ArcheryGB are moving to an entirely electronic based system (Sport80) for affiliations starting from the 2018/19 affiliation year, GWAS has decided to change its’ affiliation process.
So for 2018/19 affiliations and onwards clubs will now send their GWAS club affiliations directly to the regional affiliations secretary (Paul Callaway)
