The County of London Archery Association has introduced a postal archery league for its members! The aim of the League is to encourage archers to shoot a World Archery/Portsmouth round at least once a month, and in doing so have fun, measure progress and help foster some amicable inter-London club relationships.
Any member of the CLAA can shoot and record scores:

- once a month (per each round / bow type), September 2017 to February 2018
- WA18 and/or Portsmouth
- indoor or outdoor
- Olympic recurve and/or compound and/or barebow and/or longbow
- scores will be submitted to the CLAA record officer
- each month your scores will be added to the leader board and the person with the highest overall score in the end takes home the trophy:)

CLAA clubs are strongly encouraged to give it a go - sounds like good fun.

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!
