Membership
All our members have completed an approved G.N.A.S. beginner's
course either at this club or elsewhere. This is a requirement before
anyone can shoot or be accepted as a full member of any club. Existing
archers can apply for immediate membership, however, both practising
archers and beginners must have their applications approved by at least
four members of the committee before being allowed to shoot or becoming
a full member.
Membership fees are payable in the first week of September prior to
the A.G.M., which is normally held in the third week of September. We
combine our A.G.M. with a barbeque for members and their families, and
our annual shoot for members which is known as the Peter Cooper
Handicap in remembrance of a past member.
The membership fees collected are shared between the club and the following bodies:-
The Grand National Archery Society (G.N.A.S.)
the governing body of the sport in the U.K. They provide an
administrative function and cover clubs and archers with insurance. All
G.N.A.S. members receive the society’s magazine Archery U.K., four
times a year.
The Northern Counties Archery Society (N.C.A.S)
which covers Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland, Cumbria, Lancashire,
Isle of Man and Cheshire and represents our region on G.N.A.S.
Committees. The N.C.A.S. organises competitions in various archery
disciplines and holds regular meetings to discuss issues affecting
clubs and archers in its area of influence.
The Yorkshire Archery Association (Y.A.A.),
which governs the sport in this county, has its committee made up of
members from different clubs within the region. Its role is not
dissimilar to that of the N.C.A.S covering the same issues at a more
local level.
FITA is the governing body of the Archery sport throughout the world.
