London's New Judge - Erin Barkway

By Monika Feterlich • August 22, 2022
The County of London has a new judge.

Erin Barkway has completed her training becoming the very first archery judge from our County. Erin is an active member of the CLAA board and is a compound bow shooter.

When asked about her hobby, she replied: 

"My journey in archery has only just begun. What started off with a 2 hour training session in South Africa, 10 years later has become a passion of mine. Archery is more than just a sport to me, it has become part of my life. Over the years archers could normally find me competing on the shooting line at an array of clubs and tournaments, and now also on the other side of the shooting line as a London Candidate Judge. Archery has been rewarding to me in so many ways and I am happy to be able to give back and grow with the sport. Who knows where my archery adventure will take me. See you on the field".

Congratulations Erin!
