In 2014, the Challenge really took off. We received a fantastic 1801 entries, from over 150 clubs. This year we would at the very least like to break 2,500! Now is the time to start planning and practicing.

We need Archery GB clubs to vote for their preferred candidates for the Hartwell and Gussy Trophies which will be awarded at the Archery GB AGM to be held at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester on 18 April 2015. The closing date for the Hartwell and Gussy Trophy votes is 10 March.

The Target Archery Rankings criteria is now available to view.

Three stimulating regional Club Network Meetings will be held next year as the Development Team look to engage with more clubs and members.

Do you know someone who deserves to be recognised for all his or her hard work? Archery GB is once again inviting nominations for the ontarget Club and Volunteer Awards.

More young people are getting involved in archery; joining a club, taking part in competitions at university, having a go at holiday centres, or being introduced at primary schools using Arrows. We want to make sure that the opportunity for more young people to take part in archery is available, and that existing young archers continue to enjoy and progress in their sport.

Being a Judge is a fantastic way to be involved in archery. We are now recruiting young people (16-25) onto our new judge training programme to be part of the Judging team at the UK's biggest tournaments in 2015.

Archery within universities and colleges continues to prove popular. As part of our programme to develop archery in Higher and Further Education, we recently held round two of our funding scheme.
