3. President Nomination

It is vital that for the club to fully operate, that volunteers come forward for each role. If you would like to know more about any role, please ask the existing officer (see the contacts page) or get in touch with any of us, we’d be happy to explain. Also, if you think there is someone in the club who would do a good job in a specific role – please speak to them! 

We are delighted to share that our outdoor shooting venues will reopen from Monday 29th March 2021. BBOB and Sywell will continue to operate with booking systems and the same special measures which were put in place in 2020.

The booking pages, which contains links to the AGB documentation, rules and risk assessments can be found here – 

• BBOB

We look forward to seeing you soon!

In line with the Government annoucement all NAC venues will be closed from 5th November until further notice.

It is hoped that we will be able to reopen from 3rd December, however this will be confirmed closer to the time. 

All bookings from 5th November have been cancelled & we will communicate with members early December on our re-opening plan. 

The Northamptonshire County Team normally competes in a number of matches against other counties across the calendar year. During 2020, it has not been possible to host these because of Covid-19, however there was a natural williness to find a solution to this. Our County Captain Martin Ross discussed this with the Bedfordshire County Captain and from this was born the Northants vs. Beds Covid Postal Match.

Much as the title suggests this is not a normal match where a team of archers would be selected from Northamptonshire clubs to meet on a given date & time, at a pre arranged location and a round would be shot – at the end of that day, the winner would be the county with the highest score. Instead, Northamptonshire have opened this up to every archer from the county clubs, where they can shoot the selected round at their club and submit their scores.

The winning team is then selected from the top scores – a fantastic oppourtunity to get involved with the County Team. You have until 2nd November to shoot & submit your score.

The information pack containing the agenda, reports and proposals for the AGM is now available on this page in our members section – the usual members section password is required.

Any questions related to the AGM should be sent to secretary@northamptonarchery.co.uk.
