Local lady, Joanne Walker, barebow style, has been shooting for around nine years and has been selected for a third time to represent Team GB in what will be her second World Championships.

Joanne was presented with a gift from BAC to assist her World Championship endeavour for her tireless dedication and commitment to the club.

And to add to that, BAC are delighted to welcome two new international archers, Susan Agnew and Robert Hall, to the club. Together the three of those archers have a wealth of knowledge and experience that club members can benefit from.
