The latest compilation of these is now available to download as an excel file from our website. John O'Keeffe, our records officer, has requested that members check these records and let him know of any different claims (records@bucksarcheryassociation.org.uk).  He will then issue the outstanding certificates, after which he should be able to process any future claims in the usual manner. Please note: Records may only be claimed for scores achieved at an open shoot/competition.

The NCTC will take place on 23rd and 24th September at Lilleshall National Sports Centre.  It would be great if we could send at least a couple of teams from recurve, compound, barebow and longbow.  The teams are single-gender, three archers.  However, it would appear from the rules that we can enter pairs. The rounds are 70m (50m for barebow) followed by a head-to-head on both days. The county will pay the entry fees, archers have to pay their travel and accommodation costs. You can find more information about the shoot here:  https://archerygb.org/files/2024-national-county-teams-championships---entry-guide-190224115922.pdf If anyone is interested in representing the county at this competition, please e-mail Julie, cco@bucksarcheryassociation.org.uk and include your AGB number and bowstyle.

Our Barebow and Longbow teams have maintained their fourth positions. Some of our individual archers continue to do well, but it is hard to predict the final outcomes, since an archer's best FOUR scores will count. The full sets of results can be found under the "Postal Competitions" tab on the home page of our website.

Sorry, I didn't update the link for the cumulative scores. Well spotted Imran. The link is now correct.

It is with sadness that I report that Val Williamson passed away on the 20th December. Val was an active member of NPA; a paralympic archery, silver and bronze, medalist and a former Bucks AA President. Val was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the community in North Buckinghamshire in 2020. The Milton Keynes Living Archive published a short film about the life and times of Val: (https://www.livingarchive.org.uk/content/news/local-british-empire-medal-recipient-valerie-williamson-on-film-here ). Her funeral is on 9th Jan, 12 noon at Christ the Cornerstone CMK. Family flowers only and donations to C.I.L. (Centre for Integrated Living) Milton Keynes. She will be greatly missed.

These are available under the "postal competitions" tab on our website homepage. Both our longbow and barebow teams are in third place. The individual competition results are not fully correct, in that those of you who made the team for the first time in November have not had your October scores included. I have reported this to the organiser. However, as things stand: Milly Aziz and Sue Mitchell are currently in 2nd and 3rd place respectively for Ladies barebow. Lukah Whitehead is 3rd in the Junior boys barebow. Anyah Rayan is 2nd in the Junior girls barebow. and Sue crowe is 3rd in the Ladies longbow.
