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!
Continuing what was a very busy weekend for London juniors, the 2022 Junior National Outdoor Championships were held on 2 and 3 July at the National Sports Centre (Lilleshall). Two hundred archers representing England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland competed in the metric rounds on Saturday and imperial rounds on Sunday.
Our County was represented by eight archers shooting in recurve and barebow categories. After an exciting eight hours of competition, our juniors won six medals in total. Halimah shooting barebow won two golds in the competition (Metric 4 and Bristol 4), Cameron won silver in Bristol 2 recurve, Sarah won bronze in Bristol 4 recurve, Artemi won bronze and Sebastian silver (both in Bristol 4 barebow). This is the most successful Nationals (so far), testament to our developing junior team. A huge congratulations to all who took part.
