In my Spare Time

I'm a keen archer and help maintain the Scottish Archery Association website and also work for the UK Governing Body Archery GB

We were all really excited in 2010 as, after a 28 year wait, archery was again included in the Commonwealth Games that took place in Dehli in October and Scotland sent a team of 10 archers. Also, in Edinburgh in September 2010 the Archery World Cup Final was staged. Now of course the archery community is looking towards the 2012 Olympics in London and the Archery GB archers on both the Olympic and Paralympians Squads are training hard.
