We have chosen to align our club’s tournaments to the Welsh Archery Association winter postal league so every round scored by our members, will be a common participation in the Welsh country picture (you can always choose to not participate in the winter league if you wish, just letting us know).

We thought about calling the BBC and WorldArchery down at the club… Continue reading “What-a-thrill, Head-2-Head”
