DevelopmentIntroducing: Our ontarget award winners
Archery GB's ontarget awards celebrate clubs working to promote archery and honour volunteers for their hard work and dedication. This year, the awards go to: Connor Wilson of Kyujutsu.uk is our Young Volunteer of the Year. Every week he is the first in and last out of the club. Members have watched him grow since joining the club and wanted him to know how much his hard work and helping others to grow in confidence means to them. Twenty-two nominations made Volunteer of the Year the most hotly contested award this year. And it went to Adam Kenyon of Sittingbourne Community College Archers. He rarely takes time off, even when ill, and his passion and limitless energy ensures the juniors are given every opportunity to experience archery. He also encourages a philosophy of volunteering, from the junior through to the senior section. Blind archer Stuart Rodgers nominated Louth and District Disabled Archery Club, Lincolnshire for the ontarget Community Club of the Year. Its coaches helped him reach the second International Vision Impaired Archery Tournament. The coaches also attend a school in Louth and take part in the Louth disabled sports taster days. During the school holidays they run extra training days for the children and hold taster sessions. Sittingbourne Community College Archers claimed a second award: the ontarget Young People Club of the Year. It first received the award last year and, since then, has gone from strength to strength. The club has a family feel with adult members recognising it exists for the development of the junior section. The club regularly sends the biggest cohort of entries to the indoor and outdoor junior nationals and county events and organisers have reported back on the juniors' high standard of behaviour and positive attitude. Deer Park Archers is the ontarget Performance Club of the Year. Its mission statement reads: 'Members, regardless of ability, are in an environment that supports everyone to develop to their full potential'. Twenty-one coaches run a packed schedule of tailored programmes and workshops in five indoor venues. It has members on the GB para and international squads and county, regional and national title holders. The overall ontarget Club of the Year is Goldcrest Archers. It is an all-inclusive club with able-bodied and disabled members of all ages and regularly runs sessions for local youth groups and businesses, which have attracted new members. It works hard to be an intergral part of the community and keeps in touch through the local radio station and newspaper. Those who nominated it said it was a warm and friendly environment where experienced archers willingly share their knowledge with less experienced members and work hard to promote archery as an all-inclusive sport. 
Arran Coggan, Development Manager, said: "I have the pleasure of visiting clubs, handing out the awards, and talking to the people that receive them. There are many, many deserving volunteers and clubs and, year by year, it gets harder to select the winners. "If only I could give them all an award." Range registration updateThe national archery range registration started in April 2017. It has been designed to help Archery GB establish the future facility needs of archery across the country. It will be a catalyst for the implementation of our facility strategy and the data it captures will help Archery GB be better equipped to support clubs with facility issues. So far: 187 clubs have registered 358 ranges. 336 ranges comply with the Rules of Shooting. Seven ranges comply with an active dispensation. 15 ranges do not comply (at time of publication). Ranges that do not comply will be visited by an archery range assessor who will support the club to continue shoot safely and in accordance with the Rules of Shooting. In some cases, a dispensation will be provided that allows for the shortening of the overshoot or side safety areas. This will be where a wall or bank is in place, or can be built, to stop arrows. If your club has not completed the process yet, do not worry. You have until 30 September 2017 and we are here to help you. If you have any queries regarding the range registration process email range@archerygb.org or visit the Archery range registration section of the Archery GB website (www.archerygb.org/range) for more information.
